No, he only removed the radiator shroud and grill.

Buy some rubber hoses and cut in half and put behind the pipe near the driver side
i could agree too mang, the intakes look doesnt make you wanna pay. The only thing that shows off it thats good is the hand-weld points. Besides that its only for hp and loudness.

Damn svcks 2 hear the stillens dont fit right, maybe someone should say something to them about it?

Welcome to Stillen world, r&d shiet that dont work good and then dont do shiet about it. They switch staff like Walmart or something so the new guy never knows shiet and the latest guy didnt know shiet to begin with, and the guys that know shiet just try 2 sell u shiet, then u try to go technical then they just say they're better cause they're stillen and been around for a while. TRUST, read threads from my350z and g35driver, stillen fail. I live 15 mins away from them and i dont even go there or buy their shiet period. Again, license plate bracket tho, most successful thing they did for our cars lmfao, besdies that, nada. One of those companies that just are quick to come up with stuff first when a car comes out, than when all the baller shiet releases they fail.

My Gen3 didnt fit that good either but after playing around with it a bit here and there, everything worked out good, I didnt have any rubbing issues at all in the engine bay, the only thing that I didnt like too much was by the driver side headlight area. the tubing was waaaaay too close to the AC lines. thats about it.

No problems with my Gen3's. No rubbing and got some decent gains on top of my exhaust and HFC's. Sorry to hear about your issues.

To the OP, did you try loosening all the coupler clamps on the drivers side and twisting the pipe? Looks like if you twist that drivers side pipe counter-clockwise it will rotate up and away from the body more toward the engine.

IMO.. Injen is louder but little less hp. Stillen is more quite than Injen but little more hp. that's what I heard from whomever lol

a friend of mine has this on his 37...the fitment does suck...but it sounds so good at WOT. in any case you shouldn't buy intakes just for looks...lol.

i've never seen an injen on a g37 but i always hear the fitment is top notch. what i don't like is where they sit in relative to where the filters are. the piping just goes from the TB and takes a 90 deg down angle and stops right behind the wheel well...i'm sure this is no problem during normal spirited driving, but let's say on a hot track where the asphalt is generating so much heat along with your brakes, i think the stillen remains cooler in these conditions, no?

I did pretty much the same thing. No rubbing issues after this. And I don't know about everyone else but I have no issues at all on the sound of these, especially with WOT at 5000RPM+. Just about every head on the street will turn to look (Not that i've ever tried )

Stillen g3 intakes are too quiet.

I miss my Injen intake's growl. it was A LOT louder and deeper than stillen.
Except the sound, I like everything about my stillen intakes.
