I need to convince some people, and needs some good input to make a strong argument. THanks

 

3-6 HP and a loud growl. That's about it

 

Better gas mileage, throttle response, can be cleaned instead of replaced, more power, better sounding...thats about all that I can think of.

 

I have the JWT pop charger, which is pretty much the same thing, and I definately noticed an increase in gas mileage. A little bit more power on the top end, sounds like a beast, and the filter is massive (aesthetic reasons).

 

umm the only drawbacks are cost when new, loss of low end torque, and thats about it. Everything else is a plus.

 

aftermarket filters let more dust in

 

I agree about the low end loss, I noticed a huge difference of low end when i threw my stock intake back on from my cone filter. Cruising on the highway seems better too.

 

are there any HP graphs i can look at with the stillen on vs stock? (to show to a non-believer)

also anyone know MPG stock to MPG w/ stillen....info would be appreciated.
thanks for all the help guys

 

would he not get the same gains by getting a K&N panel drop-in with a hacked airbox? that would cost alot cheaper thant he stillen intake, no?

 

Better throttle response with the STILLEN? Since when? The stock intake with all the piping and everything has probably better response than anything else. The boxes in the stock piping are resonators but also feel as if they "store" air to have it ASAP when you punch it. With the other intakes you wait for the air to get through and then you take off. That's how it feels to me.

 

bump on the persuasion info

 

You can show him this if you print it out!

I just want to add to the other good things that it is C.A.R.B approved.

 

thanks, thats obvious. already have that handy but its a pic and talking up their own product. oh and no graphs on that site either...

 

You might get a lil top end. The rest is noise and bogginess due to the hot underhood air.

 

Noise + a FEW horses at high end.


You will lose low end, you will lose throttle responce(Even more if you use a midpipe). In summer, intake sucks, PERIOD unless you have PR style CAI or stock.
