Want Stillen Gen 2 Intake but...

Can I find a Gen 2 Kit for $350...

I know about the Gen 3 and like the Injen long tube as well,
but I'm not interested in taking off the bumper and repositioning washer resi,
and so on for just a minor gain.

I like the Stillen Gen 2, since I'm not the best at working on cars
and all I need to do with that kit is remove the old intake and
boxes etc... And install the Gen 2. Checked the Intake Classifieds, but
can't find any Gen 2ers in there, plus I'm a newbie so can't post up there.
I'll probably just drop $30 and go premier since I've been spending so much
time here, but thought I'd post up to see if y'all can direct me or tell me to FO

im not a fan of how the gen 3 leave so much empty space around the tubes where the gen 2 had the heat sheilds to cover it. once i took them out i was like damn look at the radiator over flow. lol i want to replace that now

Thanks... Watched it... Don't want to do all that is involved.
Gen 2 will get what I'm looking for, which is overall better airflow and
a perhaps a bit better mileage and oomph in response...

I've got $350 and change in my PayPal account, hoping to get a new
Gen 2 kit for that... But not finding them easily...
