Stillen vs. Injen Intakes

I am in he market for a new intake system, I have seen both the injen intake and stillen and which one is the best for my money. If anyone has dyno sheets please let me know. Thank you.

The injen intake is terrible. It's not even cold air. The setup places the intake filter directly behind your radiator, which is pretty hot. I've had one on my Maxima and noticed no change other than intake sound. Sold it and went back to stock. No idea about stillen though. From what I've read here, the stock intake is a pretty good design already.

Keep your stocker with a clean filter, the aftermarket intakes are just for looks on our car.

You need CGR intakes, Douglas Sands sells them

+1 for staying with the stock design. It's already placed in one of the cooler spots in the engine bay. There aren't much in the way of gains to be had from any mod, they're all just a bunch of "hot air" (pun intended)!

Wrong, go with CGR intake w/velocity stack and you'll definitely see some gains.. I promise. Or even just the JWT Pop charger and you'll notice a nice difference.

of course if you get into it and change the whole stack from the TB things will improve but....nothing plug in play is what rbaski means.
