hey guys,
im pretty sure im gonna pull the trigger on the Generation 3 Ultra Long Tube Dual Intake Kit

Ive searched all over the forum about the dyno gains and what not.
I read about how the intake doesnt work well with rain and im hesitating a little

What are the cons about the intake?

 

so far only one berson had commented about rain and i think it was his VDC kicking in not the intakes.

 

I guess the only gripe that I've heard is the install can be tight if you don't remove the bumper. Once it's done, then there shouldn't be any other issue.

 

Cons is the install thats about it... the install is extremely hard without removing bumper!

 

^^actually alot of people mention that if you don't take off the bumper its really tight.

but when we did it, we decided to only remove the grille and that gives you enough room to work with to slide the pipe inside. At one point it is a pretty tight fit but it wasn't bad enough that we had to remove the bumper.

 

That's what I did too, just removed the grille and such, as long as the holes are big enough you can have room to fit the pipes through.

I would not recommend this install if your a noob to modding and have never worked on a car before though...

 

I plan on removing the grill to do the install. When I ordered the Gen 3's I was told by the stillen lady that the shop was able to do it without the bumper removal and they recommend that the tubes be wrapped so that the metal is not scratched during the install. I'll probably wrap it with plastic wrap to slide it through then tear it off when it's in far enough.

 

Are you doing this at your dealer? I also inquired about it and was told it void the warranty if not done at the dealer...
BSBSBSBSBSB is all I say about dealers, tell you that...

He is probably gonna have me install it lol....

 

??????
if i dont install it at the dealer they will void warranty?

 

OMFG seriously this fucking warrenty *hit again. There needs to be a fucken stickey put up about it and then every idiot that posts about it should be banned for a week.

 

LAG37, Van Nuys Infiniti loved my Stillen 3G Intakes, some dealerships don't care. They were asking questions about my Stillen Grounding Kit too...

 

Does that include you?
I was just stating what the dealer told me...
Get yourself some education.

 

I have an education this warrenty thing has been beaten to death. your dealer is full of SHlT.

 

This is really BS as almost everything coming from dealers...They will need to prove that what you modified screwed up the car. My Infiniti dealer is Stillen authorized dealer. So in my opinion is impossible to convince someone (or a court for that matter) that the same thing can be bad or good depending upon who sells/install it. The dealer makes a lot of profit by selling it and install it.
