install plenum/ cai / ztube

so I am looking for a place in the east bay where I can get my plenum/ stillen cai and z tube installed for cheap. I know I could do it myself, But I have like ZERO mechanical knowledge and I would be afraid of F**king it up. I also just moved out on my own and dont have any tools being a college student. If anyone could refer me to a place that could do a cheap install I would appreciate it. If not, Ill just borrow some tools and hope I dont screw it up myself.



also on a 5at '07 coupe what kind of gain do you think I should expect? if any? this is my first group of performance mods.

yeah sorry for the mis-clarification. I got the 5/16" iso thermal spacer, and the stillen Z tube/ filter box combo off the stillen website.

yeah, im not THAT worries about the tube / filter. but I watched the spacer install vids online and it looks like it can be alittle tricky and may require another set of hands.

^ worried**



I wish I could, but Im working this weekend ( i know on superbowl >_< too bad) and I figure doing it all at the same time would be easiest since I gotta open the thing up anyways and take off the tube while doing the spacer.

Hey! I also got the motordyne plenum spacer and MREV2, stillen intake and ztube (also UR underdrive pulleys+test pipes) in my G, they're great mods. I'm not sure bout your gains or even what my own gains were (lol) but I can tell you will be flying through 1st and 2nd gear like nothing! .
NO BS, but I took off on a 05 300C (V8 340HP --stock!) from a dead stop. I love my G
So, like I said, not sure what the gains are, but they sure make you haul
definitely picks up alot better and alot more power in the higher RPM's
