Best Sounding Intake

What is the best sounding intake in your option? I was looking at Stillen's Gen 3 but that is on the more expensive side of intakes. There really isnt much power to gain from the intakes so i'm going for the sound. I have a 09 g37x 4d 7AT.

The Gen 3s have quite significant gains actually. Can't hear them much from inside the car since they are right behind the grill.

Right now I have the R2c system... they sound real good, and have increased my exhaust volume too (ERZ HFCs and Fast Intentions CBE on my sedan), and made it deeper.

I'll be switching back to the Stillen Gen 3 eventually.

I would go with Gen 3 but its too expensive right now. I need to change my air filter soon so I thought it might be a good time to upgrade.

I cann't afford that right now, is it worth the extra money over other intakes like JWT Dual POP Charger?

Stay away from the JWT and Fujitas.

If you don't have the $ now, just be patient and save up...

That's a smart move on your part. You'll really enjoy the Gen 3!

I got takedas.

I enjoy the heavy muffle it gives off at start and slight throttle.


if you want performance and not much sound. then just swap out the tubes for COBBS or HPS tubes and a drop in filter.

R2C sound nice and deep. SRIs are typically louder and deeper than CAIs.
