Stillen Short Ram Intake Questions

Do you have it?

Are there any noticeable gains associated with it?

What is the cheapest price you've seen for it?

Is it worth buying?

Will it help gas mileage?

How much will it cost to install?

Is it a do-it-yourself for a novice?

thanks!

that was the original intake i had. good for low-end power rather than top end since its a warm-air intake. i swapped mine out for an injen "cai". anyhow, it is very easy to install. you should notice an increase in power and gas mileage but like the other guy said, it all depends.

Is it worth buying? I would say yes

Is it a do-it-yourself for a novice? If you can read, then yes

Free

All right. Thanks everyone.


Offtopic, but @Madmxx: is that an aftermarket bumper or bumper skirt you have? It looks like you've got sideskirts and a front spoiler but I can't tell.

I just bought an 02 6 speed bone stock and I'm looking for a good first mod. I have a bunch of stereo equipment so other than that what is a good first mod? I would like a little more performance so I was thinking some exhaust components Y pipe, cat-back and intake but I have to do them in increments because I can't afford to buy them all at once. Any suggestions let me know.
