I have a V1 Stillen SC in the mail, but I dont know if it is the best one or if the V2 is better. If I remember correctly the V1 is best. What are the differences between them? Do they have the same power increase? Do I NEED to use 3" tubing for the exhaust after installing this or can I get away with using the 2.5" y-pipe and cat for now with just some performanc loss? Thanks for any help.

Oh man your gonna enjoy that SC. I just had mine installed a week ago. Mine is a V1 SC by the way. This baby is SWEET!!!!! Better than I ever imagined. The V1 has far less problems than the V2, I had a friend back in Kansas that had a V2 and was constantly having problems with it. Arent you from COlorado? I live in Denver, where did you get your SC, too bad you already ordered it because I know a guy in CO that can get a pretty good deal on them. Good Luck and Enjoy!!!!! Later

by the way, the 3" tubing is almost a must. I had the 2.5 tubing on for the first 2 days i had the SC, after I got the 3" it felt a lot better. More free and a little quicker. Later

Yes, I live in Colorado, are you comming to the meet on sunday? If so you will make the # comming rise to 16! It will be at the best buy next to park meadows mall at 11:00 am on sunday the 29th. Can your friend beat $700 NEW(un-opened box?) If so, he is going to get a TON of business from us when we form a club for Colorado. Doesnt your dad own a performance store in denver? Or is that another member that is comming to the meet. I dont know. Its good to hear that the V1 is less problematic. How much did the install cost for your SC? Thanks.

I think I will be able to come to the meet. That price seems really familiar, we may be talkin about the same person. My dad doesnt own a performance shop he manages one. They dont deal with superchargers though. Actually count me in for the meet. I have nothing else to do. Later

Right on! That makes 16 of us! Is that price what you paid for yours too? If your dad can do some group deals for us I know for a fact that his shop will make buckes of $$$ from our club. If you have any questions about the meet email me or post on here somewhere. The 3" tubing is a must or can I run for a little while with 2.5" before upgrading? Thanks.

As far as I know it wont hurt at all to run the 2.5" tubing it will just breath a lot better with the 3" tubing. Ill talk to my dad about the group deal thing. I paid around 800 dollars for mine but paid an arm and a leg for installation. it was like 625 bucks for installation. I still came out on top though considering Stillen sells them for like 4K. Later

Tell your dad that there will be 16 of us meeting for sure and another might come if he doesnt go to Maxus 01. That is a club of 17 members(of the 21 that have replied to the colorado threads) that will probably be wanting the same mods once in a while. Even if only 3 or 4 or 5 want it, its still a ton of $$$ for the shop and if he give a discount he will have customers for life.(Please dont read that last part and think that Im trying to force him into giving us a deal, I just think it would be lucrative for both ends)

Yes I will be selling my Stillen Y-pipe and the Random Tech. Cat. They have both been on my car for about 8 or 9 days as of right now. I probably wont have them taken off until mid-late August since I will be in hawaii from August 2nd through the 13th, but look at it this way, durring that time they will not be in use.

Re: so...

1/3 you never told me who you got the SC from. Where are you getting the installation done? I got mine at PFI in Ft. Collins, its pretty damn high for installation but they do a good job! let me know who you got it from, because i doubt there is two people in CO that can get them for that cheap. Later

Can you cancel the order? The Y-pipe was $330 new without shipping. Make me an offer and I'll see what I can do. Keep in mind it has only been on my car for about 9 days.

Lol, Im pretty much the only one that stays up this late in CO. Im a night person though, love staying up late. We dont have a CO club yet, our first meeting is going to be on Sunday the 29th of July in south Denver. If you are interested let me know and I'll give you more info on it. If you cant come this time its cool, I'll keep you posted on us.

No Kidding!

If anyone could sell superchargers for that price, I think most of us would be much more likely to afford one. I have wanted one for a long time but am not about to pay Stealin $4,000. I would drive across the U.S. to get one for under $1,000. The trip back would be much shorter with the blower This all seems too good to be true.

can somebody provide me with the information on where i can find a V1 setup for under a grand!? are they used kits? are they readily available? if this is true, i might as well get a huge headstart toward the ultimate modification!

Dream this! I will post pics of the installed SC after I get back from vaction in mid August and have it done! If you dont believe me, wait a month for the pics. The kits are complete and are in unopened boxes(yes, that means they are new). Unfortunatley I cannot provide the info on who to contact since Zww21 hooked me up. I think he got them from a friend of his that owned a performance parts store and went bankrupt and was selling off his stuff for whatever he could get. Since they are friends he hooked him up and I was just in the right place at the right time. I know some of you will doubt the fact that this is all true, but wait a month and look at my sig pics!

Kirk

P.S. No offence cyclemax, but Im not a bench racer with a dream, Im a racer with a Supercharger!

You guys dont understand, I cannot give you any info because I dont have any. I already told you everything I know. Now you need to ask SB97max for more info. He hooked me up, not Zww21. My mistake. Anyway, I think he got them from a friend who owned a performance shop that went bankrupt and had 2 Stillen V1 SC's he needed to sell and since they are friends and he needed the money he sold one to SB97max and I was just in the right place at the right time and I got the other one. Believe me, if I could get more of if I knew where he got them from I would gladly tell you guys. Ask SB97max for more info, this is all I know.

Wow, it seems like somebody let my secret out. 1/3there2/3ToGO, dont get everybody's hopes up bro. My buddy only has about 5 SC's left and is selling them for $1000 each. I was given permission to sell them because of the number of people asking for them. So I guess its 1st come 1st serve for the SC's. Dont complain when there gone though, because im just a middle man. Take Care

Does this have the same gains as the Stillen?

What is the difference in HP with the Supercharger between 2.5" pipe and 3" pipe?

This IS a Stillen supercharger. New, unopened box, complete kit. The install is up to you. I dont know the HP difference between 2.5 and 3 but I do know that with 3 it is much more powerful(just what I've been told).

well, if he still wants to sell them, I'll take at least 2 right now. I might buy 3, I need to talk to my buddy first but if he wants to sell 2 of them right away, I can have the money to him immediately!

I think he went to bed, Im not sure though. He is on my buddy list and is not showing up as "online". 3 people have already contacted me about them and I know that 1 for sure will buy one, and the other 2 might. If they dont you can certainly get 3. Im not even sure what SB97MAX wants to do with them. Im going to let him handel this from now on.

I will probably be at the Meet in Denver so anyone who wants one can pay me there. 1/3there2/3ToGo has already paid me and has his on the way. Any of you other Colorado members that want one can talk to me on Sunday, ill save some for my fellow Colorado members. That leaves a few left for the first responses I get. Take Care
