Whether on the track, touring through a windy road in the country side, or even around town, STILLEN Sway Bars will dramatically improve your cars cornering, stability, and handling giving you more confidence in your cars ability to stay firmly planted.

Features of STILLEN Sway Bars:

  • Retain nearly factory outer diameter. By keeping the factory diameter of the tube this allows the end user to reuse the factory bushings as opposed to aftermarket urethane bushings which are prone to squeaking and require more regular greasing and maintenance.
  • Stiffer bar construction. While staying with an O.E. outer diameter STILLEN uses a thicker wall material to gain a stiffer rate. This stiffer rate reduces body roll and leaves the car with a more planted and confident driving experience.
  • Retains factory style bushing collars which prevent the sway bar from walking or moving during hard cornering.
  • Manufactured by STILLEN in Costa Mesa, CA. With in-house manufacturing, STILLEN is able to check the quality of the bars throughout the production process from material selection to final packaging.
  • Completed with a brilliant red powder coat finish offering great looks and corrosion prevention.

The Numbers

From the factory the Z and Q50/Q60 3.0t is rated at 400 flywheel horsepower. On our dyno we saw a maximum wheel horsepower output of 336 horsepower at 6300 RPM*. This is about a 15% drivetrain loss*. Great work by NISSAN to get all of that power to the ground. After installing our Trucontrol piggyback ECU the dyno reported back a Max horsepower output of 392 wheel horsepower at 5390 RPM*. Simply by installing the Trucontrol ECU into our Z and Q50/Q60 3.0t we were able to gain more than 70 flywheel horsepower.

Even more amazing than the gains in horsepower are the gains in torque output. As you can see in the dyno the factory torque curve begins to decline at just over 3500 RPM*. At this RPM the stock car produced 338 ft. lbs of torque*. The Trucontrol by STILLEN is at 393 ft. lbs of torque*. Whereas the factory torque curve begins to decline, the STILLEN torque curve only increases further until reaching its maximum output at 4720 RPM*. At this point the factory output has declined to 323 ft. lbs*. while the TruControl by STILLEN has managed to increase to 409 ft. lbs of torque*. Truly amazing gains that make the Z and Q50/Q60 3.0t an absolutely incredible car to drive.

STILLEN® set out to do a DYNO Challenge with 3 different intakes for the 2014-2019 Toyota Tundra 5.7L. The Factory Intake, Leading Competitors Intake, and the TruPower by STILLEN Cold Air Intake.

In a world where cars are getting bigger and faster, Hawk Performance brake pads are specially engineered to improve upon your OE braking capabilities. Whether you’re looking for more safety, more stopping power, or want a cleaner, less noisy brake pad, Hawk Performance has your street needs covered. Hawk has brake pads for more than 30,000 vehicles.

HPS 5.0 [High Performance Street Brake Pads]

Hawk Performance Brake Pads HPS 5.0 | STILLEN

If you’re looking for the best street performance brake pads on the planet then Hawk Performance recommends the new HPS 5.0. What Hawk has done is taken the formulation of the original HPS brake pads and tweaked it to offer more stopping power, more brake torque, and higher temperatures. Our new HPS 5.0 emits low dust and is virtually noise free, but offers the best stopping power for a brake pad. HPS 5.0 is a Ferro-Carbon compound that provides advanced braking characteristics to enhance the driving experience. This compound combines the safety and quality of aerospace design with the braking technology of motorsports. The results are shorter stopping distances, improved performance under heavy braking conditions, and street car friendly characteristics.

PC [Performance Ceramic Brake Pads]

Hawk Performance Brake Pads Permanence Ceramic | STILLEN

If you want a break pad to increase stopping power on your car or to improve the longevity on your pads and rotors then Hawk Performance recommends their Performance Ceramics Pads. The Performance Ceramics Pads are a semi-met based pad, but the difference is we sprinkle anywhere from 1-10% of silicon content. That changes the color of the brake dust making it lighter or medium gray in color so that the brake dust will be less noticeable on your wheels. Like our HPS pads, our Performance Ceramic Pads are virtually noise free and low dust.

HP+ [High Performance Plus Brake Pads]

Hawk Performance Brake Pads HP Plus | STILLEN

If you drive a performance street car and you like carving the canyons, take spirited drives or participating in track day events on the weekend, then Hawk Performance recommends their HP Plus brake pads. It’s an entry level race pad, but it’s gentle enough to be used on the streets on a daily basis. The pad comes on strong when it’s stone cold, but offers very good temperatures on the high end for spirited driving or track day events.

HPS [High Performance Street Brake Pads]

Hawk Performance Brake Pads HPS | STILLEN

In 1993, Hawk Performance developed and produced the HPS brake pads. This is their first street performance braking compound. The HPS pads offers a higher coefficient of friction over stock brake pads. They can provide you 20-40% more stopping power and higher resistance to brake fade than most standard replacement pads.

LTS [Light Truck, SUV & 4×4 Brake Pads]

Hawk Performance Brake Pads LTS | STILLEN

After the HPS brake pads, Hawk Performance developed and produced the LTS brake pads. The LTS Pads are specifically for light trucks and SUV’s. They can handle the higher heat that the truck will produce. So even if you’re towing every weekend, Hawk Performance still recommends the LTS pad.


STILLEN Nissan 370Z Brake Cooling Duct Kit

STILLEN Nissan 370Z Brake Cooling Duct Kit

STILLEN offers this brake cooling option for Z34 Nissan 370Z owners looking to improve track times and lower brake temperatures. The Nissan 370Z‘s nose is famously restrictive, which prevents the brakes from getting enough airflow to adequately cool themselves, resulting in infamous brake fade issues on the 370Z. The airflow problem on the 370Z is enough of an issue that even high performance brake rotors, pads and fluid don’t help that much, which is what led us to develop this MUCH NEEDED brake cooling kit.

2019-23 Chevy Silverado 1500 – TP403501

STILLEN is excited to announce the much anticipated launch of the 2019 and up Chevy Silverado Cold Air Intake Scoop

The factory air intake system on the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a very unique and creative design.  During testing our engineers placed multiple temperature probes throughout the engine bay and access panels of the Silverado engine bay in order to find the coldest possible air source.

2020-23 Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra [2500/3500] – TP403502

Additionally, Chevy and GMC uses a latticework type of material over the top of the intake scoop design. This latticework material increases turbulence, and every time you work the air, you’re introducing heat into the system.

With that being said, we looked at the design and we saw areas of opportunity to improve the performance. Also to reduce the intake air temperature and increase the air volume.

2019-23 GMC Sierra 1500 Intake Scoop – TP403503

Now the intake scoop has a simple flow through design. The air comes in through the grille and straight into the intake tract. In fact, the scoop actually isolates the radiator heat.

We are very proud of the STILLEN Intake Scoop for the GMC Sierra and we’re even more proud to say that this is manufactured here in house in Costa Mesa, California. Since 1986, STILLEN has been a leader in Urethane manufacturing and high performance automotive parts and accessories.

STILLEN is excited to talk about one of the most popular parts that we’ve ever made, the Gen 3 Cold Air Intake for the Nissan and Infiniti platform.

Since 1986, STILLEN has been the leader in Nissan and Infiniti high performance tuning. In 2009 Nissan came out with the Nissan 370Z. It was a hit of a car with a 3.7 liter V6 engine. It’s a fantastic platform, one that STILLEN really enjoyed modifying.

STILLEN immediately went to work on an air intake system for the vehicle. It’s one of the things that we’re known for here at Stillen and one of the things that we really prioritize when it comes to product development.

Infiniti Q50 Intake by STILLEN

So the first thing we did was we came up with a very popular setup that we used a lot on the 350Z. It’s called “Gen 2” a short ram intake, basically it was a polyurethane air shield, an air filter and a velocity tube inside the entire system. It was a very good part that worked well but it didn’t produce a lot of power. Overall the intake improved the sound and the performance of the vehicle.

However our engineering team was dedicated to finding a system that would make a big bang. So they went to work for more than a year and came up with 56 prototypes. When the team finalized the Gen 3 long tube dual cold air intake system for the Nissan 370Z, Infiniti G37 and G35 Sedan, and the Nissan 350Z HR all four of those applications have really been successful with this Gen 3.

What’s in the Box

STILLEN Gen 3 Dual Hi-Flow Ultra Long Tube Cold Air Intake for Nissan 370Z, Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G37, Infiniti G35 and Infiniti Q60

So you get the aluminum intake tubes, two air filters, mounting hardware and the STILLEN couplers. For the G37 and G35, you’ll receive a polyurethane air shield. The air shield deflect any water, debris or anything else that could damage the air filters.

The Best Intake in the Market

STILLEN Gen 3 Dual Hi-Flow Ultra Long Tube Cold Air Intake for Nissan 370Z, Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G37, Infiniti G35 and Infiniti Q60

Now what makes the STILLEN Gen 3 the best cold air intake on the market? To start, STILLEN put more than a year of engineering and developing to make the Gen 3 Cold Air Intake. The intake has a 3″ inlet tube that next down into a 2.5″ inlet tube. The 2.5″ inlet tube leads all the way up to the throttle body. We have CNC machine billet aluminum mass airflow sensor bosses welded to aircraft quality 6061 T6 aluminum.

STILLEN Gen 3 Dual Hi-Flow Ultra Long Tube Cold Air Intake for Nissan 370Z, Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G37, Infiniti G35 and Infiniti Q60

Some of the most popular questions that we’ve been getting lately are why did we go with aluminum and why did we go with a 2.5″ diameter tube. STILLEN’s team chose a 2.5″ diameter tube because that is the size that is closest to the factory mass airflow sensor. If we were to change that, you absolutely have to recalibrate the entire ECU. You would have to re-tune the car in order to get it to run the larger diameter tube and increasing the cost tremendously. You’re talking about a $700 tuning license and hours on the dyno. So a $500 to $700 air intake system at the absolute high end, now becomes a $1500 intake system.

We’ve had some customers tell us that they even needed new fuel injectors when running a higher tube diameter intake. Now with new fuel injectors, that has the potential to be a $3000 air intake system. For us at STILLEN, that was just not something that we felt was really necessary. The gains don’t really outweigh the cost when you’re talking about a slight increase in power over a 2.5″ that bolts right on. The Gen 3 Cold Air Intake doesn’t require any additional tuning so for those reasons we chose the 2.5″ diameter.

Pros and Cons

STILLEN Gen 3 Dual Hi-Flow Ultra Long Tube Cold Air Intake for Nissan 370Z, Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G37, Infiniti G35 and Infiniti Q60

There are a number of benefits to a silicone tube. First, the cost of silicone is significantly less expensive than aluminum. There’s a lot of work that goes into an aluminum tube. Just the material cost alone and then all the labor to bend it, cut it, weld it, prepare it, polish it cost more. There’s quite a lot more cost than what goes into a silicone tube.

However, the downside with a silicone tube is that if the silicone tube is reduced to get through the front core support then that becomes a restriction. You have to modify that front core support and open it up to fit a 2.5″ tube in order to get sufficient airflow coming through in order to produce the power that you need. A silicone tube simply won’t give you the power that you need because it becomes a restriction unless you modify that front core support.

In addition to that silicone tubes, they’re significantly thicker than aluminum tube. So aluminum tubes can get away with 0.065 wall thickness, it’s a minimal wall thickness and much air volume as possible. When you go with a silicone tube it’s substantially thicker wall requires much more modification on the front core support in order to get it through without impeding the airflow.

The other disadvantage to a silicone intake tube is the fact that silicone is very flexible. Your engine is a vacuum pump, it sucks in air as hard as it can. So as you’re reaching full RPM and you have that air rushing through this intake tube and you’ve got this long stretch of open tube. The engine actually produces so much vacuum that it can actually suck the silicone shut. We’ve seen this on a number of different vehicles even some of them that come from the factory with rubber or silicone inlet tubes.

STILLEN Gen 3 Dual Hi-Flow Ultra Long Tube Cold Air Intake for Nissan 370Z, Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G37, Infiniti G35 and Infiniti Q60

For that reason we felt that aluminum was going to be much more rigid, much more durable and was the ultimately the best choice to use. So those are just a few of the reasons why we chose the materials that we did and how we came up with the design for this intake system.

Final Thoughts on the Gen 3

STILLEN Gen 3 Dual Hi-Flow Ultra Long Tube Cold Air Intake for Nissan 370Z, Nissan 350Z, Infiniti G37, Infiniti G35 and Infiniti Q60

STILLEN went through 56 different prototypes. It was more than a year of engineering before finalizing the design of the Gen 3 intakes. To be able to bring the best cold air intake is something STILLEN is very proud of. That’s something we try to achieve with every single STILLEN product. The Gen 3 intake system has been the most popular intake on the market for Nissan/Infiniti for the last decade.

The STILLEN design allows for the air to come directly into the intake system without being warmed by the radiator. The STILLEN intake scoop isn’t disrupted by the lattice type material in the radiator shroud. This design eliminates the pre-heating and the turbulence caused by the factory system.


STILLEN Toyota Tundra Cold Air Intake

With this particular air intake STILLEN has increased the volume of the air box while also increasing the flow.  The increased flow comes from the radiator shroud inlet system. Which guides air through the vehicle’s core support and into the larger poly-ethylene airbox.  This design lowers the intake air temperatures back to ambient more than 60 seconds before the factory intake system. Its far sooner than any other aftermarket intake available.

STILLEN is excited to release the All-New “Street Series” Cat-Back Exhaust System for the 2023 Nissan Z.

After months of exhaustive testing the team determined that the best design starts with a stainless steel flange with precision tig welds. The flange is tig welded to 2.5” tubes that lead into a CNC bent and CNC machined X pipe. 

2023 NISSAN Z | STILLEN CAT BACK EXHAUST "STREET SERIES" SKU 504503, 504504, 504505

During the development the team tested a true dual exhaust system. The team determined that it was too loud and too “flat” sounding. Something that is very common with the twin turbo V6 engines. However, in an effort to get the best performance possible we didn’t want to restrict the engine by going from dual 2.5” tubes to a single 3” mid-pipe. 

2023 NISSAN Z | STILLEN CAT BACK EXHAUST "STREET SERIES" SKU 504503, 504504, 504505

The perfect solution was an X pipe which offered a cross-sectional area of around 4”. Most importantly, this allowed the team to merge the left and right banks. Therefore, the merge improves the sound tremendously without restricting the exhaust flow. Additionally, it allowed the team to fit the largest possible collector through the narrow chassis tunnel in the center of the car.

2023 NISSAN Z | STILLEN CAT BACK EXHAUST "STREET SERIES" SKU 504503, 504504, 504505

Its goes from the X pipe to CNC mandrel bent 304 stainless steel tubes. After that, the tubes lead into a pair of precision tig welded high polished finish, mufflers. To design these mufflers the team at STILLEN created new proprietary machinery to complete the assembly and welding process in-house.

This equipment along with the manufacturing procedures developed exclusively for this muffler. Above all, it allows the team to precisely tig weld the polished stainless steel muffler bodies and end caps. By tig welding the mufflers, it leaves behind a “stack of dimes” finish with a fantastic multi-color burn trail.

Kyle from STILLEN was able to test drive the new 2023 Nissan Z and he taught the Z was absolutely amazing. He has taken the Nissan Z through a canyon road near his home and it was an absolute blast to drive.


After many request, STILLEN is excited to announce the launch of the new Trupower by STILLEN Cold Air Intake Scoop for the 2019+ GMC Sierra 1500 TP403503.

During our testing of this scoop design on the Chevy Silverado, we saw significant reductions on the intake air temperature. Additionally, we saw that the vehicle was able to cool itself down much faster through the intake air temperature sensors. We were able to get these recordings through the factory OBD2 system.

This intake scoop system takes advantage of the factory intake design. Where they’ve incorporated a latticework type of material in this front panel. So, what happens is the air comes in through the grille, works its way up the face of the radiator. Then it goes through that latticework material and into the intake tract.

To make the most efficient and coolest air possible design, we’ve eliminated the first two steps. Now we just have a simple flow through design, where the air comes in through the grille and straight into the intake tract. No longer is it being heated by the radiator. In fact, the scoop actually isolates that radiator heat.

Additionally, that work, as it goes through the lattice, is applying additional heat and turbulence as it works its way into the intake track. With a STILLEN Intake Scoop, you don’t have that problem anymore. The STILLEN Intake Scoop fits all the different models of the GMC Sierra 1500. It also fits all the different engine sizes for that particular platform.

Product Spotlight

2019+ GMC Sierra 1500 Cold Air Intake Scoop | Trupower by STILLEN

2019+ Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trupower by STILLEN Cold Air Intake Scoop

To solve the two problems with this otherwise fantastic design the design team at STILLEN began by creating a proper scoop.  This scoop lowers the base of the radiator shroud to be in line with the top bar of the famous Chevrolet grille. This new design allows for the air to come directly into the intake system without being warmed by the radiator, or disrupted by the lattice type material in the radiator shroud.  This design eliminates the pre-heating and the turbulence caused by the factory system.


Kyle from STILLEN was able to test drive the new 2023 Nissan Z and he taught the Z was absolutely amazing. His done exactly what anybody with the keys to the new Z would do. He has taken the Nissan Z through a canyon road near his home and it was an absolute blast to drive.

It handles extremely well, just hugging every single turn. No tire squeal, no drama. It just soaks it up and it just goes. Point and shoot steering, you get on the throttle and the rear end starts to come around.

The Nissan Z has excellent power delivery from the VR30 V6 Twin Turbo 400 horsepower platform. It’s absolutely phenomenal to drive. You can definitely see the areas of enhancement that Nissan has made to the new Z.

STILLEN can’t wait to get there own Z and start to make some improvements. But again, these are improvements and modifications that are for the enthusiasts. They’re going to be for the enthusiasts who wants that extra power. The enthusiast that really wants to push it a little bit further and this car is going to respond so well to it. You can already tell that the new Z wants to go faster and wants to push harder.

From a styling perspective, Nissan has really hit a home run for the new Z. This is one of the best looking cars on the road. “I have to be honest, I didn’t love the original photos I saw. I didn’t think that the front end was really what I was looking for. As soon as I saw the Z in person for the first time, I knew I was wrong. The photos just don’t do it justice. This is a good looking car.” – Kyle.

The front end of the Z is designed to look like the older Datsun Z, similar to a 240 and a 260. Then you move around to the back of the Z and you get that 300ZX rear end immediately. The tail lights are a modern 300ZX tail lights, they’re absolutely fantastic. We can all agree that the rear tail lights are the best part of the design of the vehicle.

The katana down the roofline of the car is a very cool easter egg, but overall it’s just an amazing car. From a performance perspective, it handles incredibly well. You can tell that the power is there as soon as you put your foot down. It just scoots and gets going right away. This car wants to run, it wants to run hard, and you can already tell it’s going to be a lot of fun.

Steve Millen History

In 1989 our company founder, Steve Millen, started working with Nissan. Nissan hired Steve to be the lead driver for their new sports car program. They were bringing in the 300ZX at the time. They were going to bring in two race cars; number 75 and number 76. It was a twin turbo V6 VG30 based engine and they took those cars to dozens of race wins, dozens of pole positions, two world championships, wins in Asia, Europe and America.

To this day, I believe Steve Millen still holds the record of being the only driver to win the 24 hours of Daytona, the 12 hours of Sebring, and the 24 hours of Le Mans in the same year. They had a crazy amount of success with that 300ZX racing program.

Steve really translated that success on the track into STILLEN’s road car program. He also worked very closely with Nissan, refining the 300ZX and giving them more power and developing all these parts through STILLEN.

Towards the end of the 300ZX in 1995, Nissan celebrated his relationship with them as well as the culmination of the Z. They built a special limited edition SMZ 300ZX. It was a Steve Millen design 300ZX. This was a car that you could also buy through your local dealership. They only made a little over 100 cars in North America and these cars were sold through the dealer network.

The dealers would call up STILLEN, and they would place their order for the cars. All the SMZ packages were the same. It was just the color of the vehicle that was different. The SMZ package came with different wheels, brakes, body work, and a little bit more power through an intake and exhaust. I think there was a computer reprogram and some interior enhancements too.

The SMZ package was a 300ZX that you could buy from the dealership with the factory warranty. That’s the type of relationship STILLEN has with Nissan. Working with Z’s goes through our blood, all the way back to the late 80’s and early 90’s.

2023 Nissan Z Test Drive | STILLEN SMZ 300ZX

When the 350Z came out it was very much the same. We didn’t do a SMZ package, but we did a whole catalog of parts for the 350Z. That catalog of parts included exterior styling, sway bars, intakes, exhaust systems, oil coolers, transmission coolers, supercharger systems, you name it. At one point, STILLEN had about 30 different products for 350Z. That really speaks to the STILLEN’s philosophy when it comes to the Nissan Z’s. The relationship that STILLEN has with the Z is strong.

We don’t want to just do an intake or exhaust. A lot of the times when STILLEN brings other vehicles in for product development, that’s all we’re doing. We’re just doing an intake and an exhaust system, maybe a body kit.

On the Z’s we tackle the entire car. It becomes a passion project for STILLEN because of that relationship and that connection that STILLEN has to the Z and to Nissan. We really want to refine it as best we can. So we’ll go front to back, top to bottom.

2023 Nissan Z Test Drive | STILLEN 370Z Parts

The Z’s are so special to us that we just want to give them as much attention and as much love as we can. That basically comes out by all the parts and all the enhancements that we make for the Z’s.
