I drove my '08 G37S 6m for 2 years with just a Tanabe exhaust which only made the car sound better but no performance gain that my butt could tell. Added the Injen CAI (that I had sitting in my closet for a year) and it was like getting a new car. It changed the sound of my Tanabe's and my G37S will roar at WOT. My butt CAN tell a difference but I can't quantify it. It's just quicker. Period. Put on some new shoes (Michelin A/S 245's and 275's on stock 19's) and I've quit looking at M3's and ISF's. Love my car.
...one question, what's up w/ all the butt comments? LMAO JKJK

I see your from Minnesota, yah you betcha. That explains the lack of understanding the "butt" comments. Y'all have all frozen yours off, LMAO JKJK. (used to live in Edina...way too cold pour moi)
Is stillen gen 3 CAI really loud at the lower RPMS? I'd like the car to get that badass start sound and the amplified exhaust sound when I hit the gas during the lower RPMS. Will I be disappointed if I'm not always looking to gas it up to 6k-redline?

That sound at loud RPMs is generally going to come from your exhaust not your CAI. CAI roar explodes as your RPMs are pushed because they are sucking in the air the engine is pulling for. The midrange power is where you will feel the difference the most.

This is what I am referring to! The combo of CAI and CBE will get you the growl you are looking for.

I've got the Gen-2 Stillen Intake and I love the sound... My exhaust is stock!
I felt you really heard the difference up front when you open up, at lower speeds too!
So you think the 18hp gain reported by Stillen is false? Just asking, cause I am going to buy one in the next few days also...
There are a lot of individual dyno's on this forum that prove 15-20 hp gains. Definately not false. Every car is different but you will notice a gain especially in the higher RPM range.

But did not use peak numbers, Just the diff between the R2C's and the Gen 3's.
I'm saving up for stillen right now, not gona settle for less.
Even 15 hp gains is real good!
