WTF is with Stillen prices
In Stillen's defense, their intake is CARB approved. As far as I know the other intakes aren't. Seeing that you're in California, that's an advantage. Plus they've gotta pay for research etc...
As a side note, I was shopping for replacement windows for my house. I went to the manufacturing plant to get quotes. You'd think that you could get them cheaper straight from the plant (no middleman markup). What they told me was that there cost is higher then the middlemans price. Why? Because if they sold them cheaper then no one would sell their product. "Why would I buy from you, you mark up their product to much." Somthing I respect from them was that they told me up front. I'm sure Stillens in the same boat.
Got rice's price seem more fair then Straight from Stillen. So $35 diffence between jwt and Stillen. What's swapping out your intake for smog inspection worth to you?
Anyhow I like how Stillen supports Nissan, however I'm a price targeted shopper and have only bought springs and struts from them.
That's my take on it. What's yours?

For a little more I can get CAI.

Honestly, I don't think you even need a heat shield due to the location of the intake. When you're moving @ 30+ mph, the hot air is not being directed towards the intake. All of the hot engine heat is from the manifold back...
