1990 Nissan Maxima(GXE) Cold Air Intake???
 
Can someone help me with a link to a website for a cold air intake and what exactly i need to do like if any modifcations or little secrets i need to know.

Well there's a few companies that offer some. The stickies above contain all the links.

www.cattmanperformance.com
www.stillen.com

And I also believe Place racing makes one as well.

For any modifications. I believe you have to move the battery tray a little, and expand the hole that the rain drainage pipe runs through.

yeah i think theres a group deal for place racing CAIs, so check those out, its what i put on my gxe. To install it, you have to drill a hole in the fender well, but i never moved the battery tray. Don't expect much power out of it, but the sound is sweet, and at 4000rpms+ is when i could feel the most gains. It basically just improved my throttle response. You will need a template to drill the hole, which i dont know if they come with the new intakes (i bought mine used), but someone on here has the template.

I'm building a Ram air for mine, so I didn't even bother with the rest of the piping.

I just remember some people talking about having to expand the hole. And from the pictures I've seen, it looked like the battery had to be moved, but guess I was wrong.

is the stillen hi-flow intake the same as cai?

ghostridden 02-24-2005 08:12 PM

its just the filter with an adapter

avmaldo 02-24-2005 08:18 PM

wsp also has one.

garbury 02-24-2005 08:44 PM

yeah, i mean i guess you could move the battery, i just drilled a hole and jammed the pipe in there, lol. it will fit at about any angle if you get the hole big enough, so i think thats how i avoided moving the battery. The accord hybrid write up is for a RAM air style though too, or at least the write-up in the link says so.

on the second page it shows how to make a true CAI, personally i think would be the best way to go

garbury 02-24-2005 09:27 PM

my bad dude, yeah CAI is the way to go.
