So fresh and so clean.. :thumbup:
Wash, clay and wax.. I really hate claying, but not as much as I hate waxing.. Need to get an orbital or something.

Pretty sure that bucket is full of sand or tools or something. That's why the towel is thrown over it.
Installed the Stillen CAI and LMS Z tube today. I'm really impressed how the car sounds after 3000 rpms with Stillen Exhaust, I was flooring the car all day with windows down. Very pleased with the sound levels of my setup, exactly what I wanted. Really quite below 3000 rpm, and throaty and aggressive after 3000.
3000-5000 rpm is my favorite range for in town driving right now. Totally exceeded my expectations, and worth the cost. Videos and pictures coming soon...

What's the difference between the Stillen Z-tube and LMS z-tube?
Stillen z tube is shorter and made from plastic. LMS is much longer, made from metal and eliminate one unecessary connection between TB and z tube. Not in production anymore.

Ahhh, that last sentence just put a cloud over my head. Thanks for the info.
I thought the LMS z-tube is made out of aluminum. Kind of negates the effect of having a CAI. The aluminum would soak up the heat from the engine bay.
Stillen z-tube are made out of plastic and only $59:

Yep, fits without any problems. I do have shorter LMS black z tube without MAF connector though. But they are same diameter.

Funny thing about the lip, the clips that secure it underneath the oem bumper broke off.... ALL of them.. The push pins looked a little iffy when I installed them.. I think they broke off during my trip while going 90+ on certain sections of kentucky... or maybe that semi truck tire tread that we ran over on the hwy...:eek.:

Yeah and believe me I regret every bit of it.. I had to move the car further and further back to keep it in the shade.. neighbors must have thought I was nuts.
Usually I have a shot of my car wash crew here in Chicago lol.

If they were the same shape and size, then yes. Metals in general will transfer heat better than plastics, so a metal intake tube will get hotter in the engine bay than will its plastic equivalent.
