I went to infinitiparts.com and ordered the active suspension conversion kit with the tokico blues. On a whim I also placed an order for the Stillen Hi-Flow intake system. Some time after that I read where the stock intake is actually better than the Stillen. Is that correct?
:help I still time to cancel the order for the Stillen so please answer quickly. :help
Thank you in advance
Quick question Stillen Hi-Flow intake system on a 94q

Wes, try a search on intake. A Pop Charger sucking hot under hood air is a performance destroyer, not an enhancer.
Did you mean http://www.infintipartsusa.com ? Joe usually has the best deals.

Wes, that is true about the hot air under the hood.
I have chosen to keep mine on my car, becausie I love the sound.
I have to be careful, to keep the MAF sensor clean, and not to over-oil the filter.
If you decide to add it later, you can find them cheap, from other owners that decide to take theirs off.

That is true, the heat shield does little. Actually, wrapping the plastic pipe with insulation would help more than anything.
A true Cold Air Intake, would leave you susseptible to water injection, which is Really BAD!. I had this on my Nissan Pick-up. I was nervous, every time it rained.
Many studies have shown, that the starndard air box is very efficient, and not the larges pressure drop in the intake. I think it was Q45Tech, who did some research.
I have done no studies, just seat-of-the-pants trial and error. I like the sound, and am careful to keep the filter clean, and stay away from truely dusty areas. The K&N filter does allow larger particles into the engine. How do you think they get more airflow?
BUy yourself a Mustang "Shaker" intake scoop kit, and modify it for the Q. That would be cool!
