nice!!! im still torn between Gen 3 and Injen just based on the location of the two, can u explain how A/F will change with Gen 3's im understand because of velocity but cant this be corrected with a ECU recet? sorry if thats a dumb a$$ question but im not very knowledgeable with intakes or engines for that matter haha

LoL, they came in to factor after the incident on Saturday hahahah
Let's put it this way. Imagine trying to breathe with your head out the window, it's going to be hard because of the impact/velocity of which the air is coming towards your mouth, this is what is happening with the Stillens, TOO much air is coming in that location, causing the engine to run lean. Running lean means the Air/Fuel ratio is thrown off which is REALLY bad for your motor, which can lead to a blown engine. Ask anyone on here with Stillen 3G and Cobb AP to check their A/F ratio and its going to be in the 14 range instead of it being 12. This COULD be corrected with a CUSTOM tune, not just a reflash of which Cobb AP provides. Hope this helps.

also if you talk to someone, the 3g might be harder to tune cause the long tube and also even if you adjust the A/f right. they will still have alot of air coming in so yeah it will be harder to tune
