Anybody got a Stealin intake? What hardware does it use?

Since my 5th gen has gone to her final resting place in the sky, I'm getting rid of her last remains.

My intake didn't sell on the .org, so she is goin on Fleabay.

Only thing.....I don't remember for the life of me if it had any hardware that I may have lost. All I've got is the filter, velocity stack, and mounting bracket.

So.....does anybody have one that can confirm if it uses the OEM hardware or if I'm missing something? I don't want to mislead anybody on eBAY.

Its this model.

Its not a heat shield, its a "velocity" stack of some type. It attaches to the MAF housing, and then the filter goes over it. No idea if it does anything though, I suppose Stealin engineers can't be wrong.

I think the stillen intake is only the velocity stack, filter, and the mounting bolts. The picture looks like a generic intake picture for stillen. How did you like the intake btw. Did the velocity stack make a different sound than a regular intake?

Oh I see it now. Why is it rectangular shaped instead of cylindrical?

I liked it ok. Didn't mount up that easily, but seemed to work fine. MPG went up a little as I recall, and noticed the power difference.

I have nothing to compare it to sound wise, but it did get a little throatier. Nothing as loud as the Fujita I'm lookin at for my 6th gen though.

not wrong... just purposefully misleading marketing.. i doubt if it really does anything.. but to answer your question i think thats it.. dont forget the clamp.. and all the bolts/washers

Strange.....on some computers my link pulls up the model I've got, on others it pulls up the one for a G and Z.

In any case.....I've got exactly what you've got in you pic. Is there any other hardware that I should have? Any bolts to mount it up? Or does it just use the stock stuff?
