Installation was a success. Rain interrupted us when the intakes were off, hence, we had to take a time out. I must admit the sound is awesome and there is noticeble power gains between reves at 2k and 5k. Check out my garage for pics...Special thanks to my good friend Elias, he is a modding freak and did the installation for me....

It's good to have freaks as friends. LOL! Install looks great. Glad you are enjoying the ride and happy with your G purchase.
The r2c's are a geode fit for your car. Simple, easy and notable gains. I'm just glad this thread didn't turn into another r2c versus gen3 debate.
Nice pics and good post! Congrats!

Interpreting dyno comparison results across different days is difficult and prone to varied results, you can't look at a single run set and read them like you'd read tire air pressure. You've got to look at a wide variety of results to come to the best conclusion. That said I do believe Stillen will produce more power then R2C with a stock tune.
If that's all the information you think you need to consider to make a decision you certainly would not be alone. Stillen G3 FTW!!, Stillen G3, the proven Leader!!!
Some may have a few more questions like.. What are the results post tune? Any real world noticable difference post tune? Which offers better engine protection? What's install and maintenace look like?
Post tune tests are non-existent on the same car. Post tune on different cars, my guess of there being no real world difference between the two is highly suggested. In the end my bet is there wil be no noticable difference post tune between the intakes and definately not worth the pains and risks the Stillen design imposes, that's just my opinion though... to each his own.

looks great manyard!... question... does the intake on the driver's side sit a little lower than the one on the passenger side? I installed mine last week and that is how mine are sitting... just want to know whether or not this is normal
It looks in your pictures to be sitting a little lower, just not sure if that is the angle or not

you dont need a tune to tell the difference in intakes..there is a differnece in short ram intakes and cai its proven in just about any intake system made for any car!! and someone did a dyno of r2c and stillen in same day and there was a proven difference..

I see you got an uprev tune, did you ever post results? I'd be interested in seeing what Stillen G3, Ark, HFC got pre and post tune.
i get my tune this week friday march 11 also my HFC will be put on that day.. so im going to ask them for a dyno before the HFC and tune..to see what power i get out of the stillen and exhaust..ill post my results when i get back in town friday night or saturday
