Has anyone seen this before? If so what's your thoughts?

If not...first time seeing it what's your take?

I personally like the idea, it looks killer and well built/thought out to be OEM+ looking.

Doesnt look to bad. I wonder if it has any positive effects while driving short or long term like fuel milage, acceleration and crap like that

That is bad ass.

Very interesting, I guess I need to go make some more money...................

Haha my thoughts exactly. It's intriguing because I have a KN filter and don't want to run a CAI until after warranty. I don't want any BS from the dealer. I may pull the trigger on this!

Worth a shot, I sent Stillen a message about any possible codes/deals/pricing they may have for first responders or medical professionals.

I only wish they shipped to Canada, might be worth a shot to see if it does anything at all, compared to a Standard CAI

You could also buy the factory CAI and that would eliminate any warranty issues. My truck has the offroad performance package so it came with it and it looks pretty good!

That is true. For what I want it isn't justifiable right now. Unless the CAI has dropped in price last I saw it was $500. It's a beautiful set up.

Interesting, but wonder if there’s an increased risk of water ingestion. Seems like you’re giving car wash water a much clearer path right into the intake.

Other question would be, does it make any difference? Doubtful.

Yeah, that is another great question. I highly doubt that it makes that big of a difference. When I was telling my buddy about it I compared it to my mishimoto rad plate I had on my car. Minimal purpose, more for looks.

I wonder if using the HD trucks part that stillen got the idea from is a cheaper option or if it would even fit.

Nevermind, the opening is on the opposite side. Smh one of those days I guess

not sure if anyone saw the other post. i pulled the trigger and bought a stillen last month, and i did not notice where it said it would not work with the active areo shutters. i got mine on july 5 2020 and put it on the truck. after instillation i noticed that the areo shutters was very close to the mouth of the scoop, the didnt touch but was very close and looked like it would restrict airflow when they shut. but i didnt have time as i had to make a 560 mile drive back to Michigan for work. made the drive just fine got close to 20mpg on the drive (not bad for a 6.2L 4wd cruise set to 80). got back to the motel and started looking into the areo shutters, a and from what i could find they close at like 50mph to help with aerodynamics. i then started searching the web to see if anyone had modified the shutters, but looks like no one had done much with them. so i was like heck i'll be the first. went out and removed the top left and top right shutter. ( would have been much easier had i removed the scoop, but i didnt have any tools with me to remove it) i just carefully bowed them and popped each one out. the shutters still function as normal except if crams air down its throat, and picks up a bit faster on interstate. i have not been back home to see how it does on a long haul since removing the top shutters.
