that sucks!

yea these are comin out quick

Man that really sucks I was really tempted to get one in in time for Christmas and that looks to be out of the question.......oh well I will just have to be paitient.... :-)

maybe im missing sumthing here.. are you sayin stilen will not ship these out until the end of december ( the 09 intake )?

D-STREET- that's what it looks like to me.
lol

lol,,.... i knew it was too good to be tru.... well at least stillen got our attention! i think they just wanna anticipate how big the aftermarket parts for the 09 will be!!! well u know us.. we will wait for any and every part that comes out for the max... ( speaking for myself on this one) lol

just ordered my stillen intake for my 09 max sv sport package!!! cant wait the people told me it should be in by next weeks and it was 15% off for black friday....so i took advantage of that discount saved 45buks!! let you guys know when i put it on and how it is!!!

So you are saying that your intake will be in sooner rather than later??? Man I may have to rethink my Christmas gift idea and let SANTA aka wife know about this option!!!

Do they have any numbers on the Intake? ( i.e. HP gains ). Im not knocking Stillen at all here, but it seems a bit much for a cone filter with a pipe and a air duct. besides, you would think that by breaking the inclosed air intake system from the factory, you would not get much more air flow to the cone filter due to half the cone being at atmosphere. I would say that you could get the same if not better numbers with a K&N drop in filter and remove the first stage of the factory intake above radiator. I am interested to see how the HP gains go with this.

1st stillen has said they will not be dynoing this or their exhaust because of the CVT tranny. so don't hold your breath. also other then a few small things this is all you'll see in the form of 'performance' from stillen. no headers, no FI, no suspension/coilovers. at most maybe you'll gain 5hp from the intake somewhere along the curve...just look at a dyno from a 6th gen with just an air intake...it's not going to be far from that in terms of gains.

2nd they arn't know as stealing stillen for nothing. wait 6 months there will be 4 different strut bars to choose from on ebay going for 20-60 bucks each. same with the air intakes. It's cheaper, faster, and easier to just make your own home made intake and more satisfying if you ask me fwiw, and if you throw it in the fenderwell, better performing. $290 really is alot for that filter pipe and plastic. i'll make one for you for $100 bucks which looks better. you could use this stuff: http://intense-racing.com/Merchant2/...3800_Induction or just some painted PVC with an Apexi filter slapped on the end of it.

Stillens new logo sucks!

The price is no different than any other brand....how many kids plunk down $150-300 for some version of an AEM intake that makes 1-2whp on their Civic??

Still a little disconcerting that no baseline has been set by Stillen for comparision gains (or losses) regarding their products....At least it'll probably sound pretty nice w/an intake...

there already is another one on the market that is due to be released in less than 2 weeks

how much faster would the max be w the stillen intake?? what will the numbers be? hp? will the intake help with low rpm or high?

Generally, in Maximas I've seen that Intakes usually gain between 5-11HP and from my experience it is gained somewhere in the midrange but most suffer at low rpm.

It would be better for you if you're looking for HP to get a full CatbackExhaust system with Y-Pipe/B-Pipe set up to get the most of your car with an Intake, that is unless of course we (Maximas) end up getting Headers or maybe even an SC (But I doubt it very highly).
Good luck

SWEEEEEEEET! My plan always was to add both ends to the MAX...the Intake and exhaust! Since Santa was so nice this year about getting the full Catback system the front end "INTAKE" is on the way and will be ordered on the 15th using the extra Stillen bucks.......oh yeah!!!! When it's all said and done I can say that I drive a 300 HP MAX.....if your math was right adding about 10 horses to a 290 HP platform hit's that magic number!!!!

i got my stillen intake 2 weeks ago now!! and been driving it every since!! its hella nice! the noise level went up, but complete sleeper on low rpm. once you get at it on high rpm sounds like im driving a 350z!!

I am glad you like the setup I will be ordering mine here VERY soon from stillen and take advantage of the stillen bucks offer!!!! Post some pics!!

it sounds so nice sounds like g35 or 350z seriously even when casual driving..and when i hit the gas omfg haha. kinda hard to install actually took an hour and feels like the funnel connecting to the old filter box is a little loose, but other than that its great!

warranty voids?

yall ill get to you on that pics very soon!!

i just got the stillen intake and im wondering

does the intake need some time to break in to the engine or anything like that? will the sound increase (sounds sexy already just wondering)
