[ocho]

WOW!!! I HAD THE STILLEN INTAKE AND Z TUBE IN THE G FOR OVER 15 K MILES AND DE$$IDED ON THE POWERLAB 3/8, THE INSTALATION WAS A BREZE IF NOT FOR A STUBORN STUD WHICH CONSUMED ALMOST 45 MIN. JUST TO UNSCREW IT CORRECTLY. THE TEST?? WELL, AS EXPECTED QUIKER TAKEOFF, MORE PULL ACROSS THE WHOLE POWERBAND; BUT DID'NT NOTICE MORE NOISE COMING OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY BUT THAT'S OK.BTW I ALSO INSTALLED 2008 WHEELS THAT WERE TAKEN OFF A JOURNEY G 25 WITH 235 50 17 TOYO PROXES, PICTURES WILL COME SHORTLY.

Congrats!

Why would you think there would be more "noise" coming out of the engine bay?

Common report from owners who install spacers. I didn't hear anything...

Well ; I meant SOUND which the intructions posted in "How To " is mentioned, BTW the instructions are great I didn't use Permatex because the spacer came with gaskets glued on both sides, but I even used the clothes hanger and twine, LOL.

Well that and headers, but is it just me or are headers for G's ridiculously over priced??

[Beancooker]

$350 for the pair.

NICE!!! Thanks Bean CookerAny idea on the power gains on those bad boys.

[tollboothwilley]

I've heard that HFC's are the biggest gains for the G/Z

but i've heard about 10 HP to the tires from the Headers

most figures are blown up somewhat

[CYO44Baseball32]

I heard the hp gain is nice about 10-11 but the torque is the biggest gain on those, about 18-20

[AndrewG909]

Thanks for all the info. Appreciate it.

Ocho, have you taken your car to the track yet. I'm just curious what time's you'd pull with those mods, since we have the same car.

No, my track days are in the past, I now enjoy looking for victims on the hyway and traffic lights (mostly germans, I will take on some japanese too) but with the stillen body kit, 08 wheels and wider tires, my G looks more agressive, so not many are willing to take the beating. My next moove will be: sway bars and 7 cable grouding kit, any one care to comment on best choices on these, I'm inclined to Stillen bars and Grounding Gear.

I'm interested to know what you think of the sway bars. Suspension and exhaust are on my list of things to do.

As for the ground wires. Check out my kits in the fab marketplace (link in sig). Same quality as Grounding Gear, but significantly less expensive, no wire logos, easy QUICK communication, and much faster shipping.

Sway bars will help keep the car planted coming out of ramps into the hyway and won't affect ride confort, a stiffer suspention will help more when cruising the canyon roads and in take off the car will not sit (weight tranfer) and will moove forward faster, stiffer suspention usually means lowering your G which are pretty low allready if it's a daily driver better watch speed bumps. My choice for sway bars for now are Stillen because they are adjustabe.Exhaust? well Stillen again if you want low decibels.And yes I will look into your option for cables, thanks.

Thanks. I know what the sway bars do. I just want to hear somebody else's take on it.

I don't think I'll go with Stillen on exhaust. The sound doesn't really do much for me. I'll have to go back and listen to all of the exhaust clips and see which one is right for me.

Performance is important, but sound is equally important in my book (at least for exhaust).
