Best price on Stillen intake?

I've tried to get it locally and a couple places on the web with no luck. I'm hesitiant to go through stillen because of the price premium! Where did you guys get yours?

ps- if anyone is interested, the 2k1 stillen kit doesnt not fit the 2k2. The bracket mounting location was changed!

Anything involving Stillen is overpriced. The intake is basically what COBYMOBY can sell you, and his is better. If thats what you want, go Berk all the way !

I've got to agree with you, kloogy. There is simply NO WAY to justify the price difference between a Stillen Intake and a Berk Tuning Intake.

If you've got the money to burn on a Stillen Intake, Subw00er, spend a few bucks more and buy an Injen CAI instead. Otherwise, buy a Berk Tuning intake or a Frankencar if you want the mid-pipe.

I think the ijen is pretty sweet looking, but I am owrried about the rain factor. It rains a lot here, and I want something pretty trouble-free.

So this frankencar thing. is that the limited edition thing with the apexi end cap on it? Also, if I buy that, is the extension piece a seperate purchase?

You could install an AEM Bypass Valve in the intake, but that would increase the cost quite a bit.

The Apexi filter is a paper filter and has the best filtration characteristics of any filter Frankencar sells. But it's also the most expensive Frankencar intake to purchase and it's the most expensive to maintain. Because it's a paper filter, the ENTIRE FILTER has to be replaced at the end of each service interval. Replacement filters generally run around $75.00, although Frankencar may sell them somewhat cheaper than that.

The extension piece, aka mid-pipe, is included in the purchase.

Try Avalon Racing . They seem to have the cheapest price for the stillen intake!
