what intakes have the best hp gain
right now i have a maf adapter and an ebay air filter... got it for a penny

 

But how much was the shipping?

 

Cold Air Intakes.

 

get rid of that filter!!
about 2 years ago, i hooked up a CAI with a stupid e-bay "no name" filter. 3 months later i check the filter.. and it melted into 3 pieces.. i was riding around with no air filter for who knows how long.

... this is the reason u got that crap for a penny. whats the adapter made of?

 

yea thats what i figured... i took the cheap way out, and the filter on the car when i got the car was rusted
anyway it was like 6 shipping

 

the adapter is aluminum i believe

 

does your filter have this mesh screen on the end? seems like a lot of ebay filters are of this kind. if it does, i would trash it and get a quality air filter like K&N. that mesh screen won't filter worth a crap.

 

Does it bolt on correctly?

 

not really its sorta crooked so im gunna put the old one that actually fits better and get a k&n cone filter

 

Hey I had good luck with my ebay filter. Got it for like $5.00 or so It lasted like 8 monthes Then I change it to an k&n.

 

so K&N actually gives u gains over filters of other brands? or its just that it wouldn't fall apart as easily?

 

well, it's a reputable company and their filter lasts quite a long time since it's washable and reusable. they also flow better than paper filters.

 

OK PEOPLE, here let me help you just a little, I'll push you in a good direction. Both Cattman and Stillen have good intake designs. If you wanted a MAF adaptor, the way I did mine is the cheap way. But it sucks in too much heat. The Cattman and Stillen both have great designs, and put the intake out of the engine bay. Here's the link for Cattman, but I do not know stillens.

are there any other manufacturers of CAI for our VG maxima's? how high does cattman rank with those with more experience?

 

Last I knew, Place racing made one for our motor, but I'm not too sure anymore. I've been out of the loop for about 3 months.
