stillen Z32 sidemount upgrade....

i dont have the car yet. its a long story with my old car, but . . . . When i swap in an sr20 i was wondering what you guys though about using stillen side mount for a Z32 on my s13?? i want a more efficient i/c and the stillens are i belive 15% more efficient on the z32 so i thought it would be great for the SR. plus custom piping but im not worried abou that. plus it will be super low key compared to a huge front mount. what do you guys think???

How much is that going to run you? Why not just do a front mount??? You could do a small one.

im not sure how much it will be but it was just an idea. i thought it might be a little cheaper than a front mount

they have 35% more suface area over the stock i/cs. i figure find some used ones that arent beat. som custom piping, i can take care of that, and im good to go. but depending on how much i can get 'em i might just go with the front mount.

Just get a skinny one and you should be able to mount it in the front without removing your bumper support.

Well if thats what you want, then go for it. $700 is alot to spend on a side mount intercooler.
