the GT spec brackets look to be inverted where they mount on the outter edges vs the intake side, wouldn't see a problem mounting them together.

Hmm that's nice to hear about the rubber parts ripping.

Reading all these other threads that seems to be one of the main complaints, but you said there was no problem.

Still considering buying these intakes. Either way, looks very nice.

those are tahoe door panels lol.

paulie? not sure what your talking about I have 0 complaints, and I am very picky about what I put on my car. For those ripping the couplers, I don't see how. They are much bigger than the pipes and there is no force needed anywhere in the install. I think some of these people probably got aggrivated with the install and tried to force things to fit rather than take time to do it right.

As for a review, the butt dyno says there is a noticable increase, however I rarley drive the car hard, i'll leave that up to the dyno to prove.

I admire the aggrassive look takeda gave these intake but in other way I am reading bad reviews about them and specially they are claiming that it's cheap quality and short coupling which is making them hardly to fit and adjusted is that true ?? Do recommand buying them ?? they are worth taken them over the stillen gen 3 ? I wanna your advise if its worth to pull the trigger buying them for my lovely coupe or not....

Thanx

I have 0 complaints, and for the price difference if the couplers are the problem you could buy all new couplers and still be below the stillen gen 3 price.

however, I have never owned or worked with the stillen gen 3 so I won't knock it, for me cutting the core support was a big no no. stillen is tried and true, but i opted for these for that very reason. i don't personally see a problem with the couplers, and even if there was, replacements are cheap.
