Man, that's great enjoy!!!! I know alot of you guys had along wait but it's really worth it. I have the same intake. I guess that's a problem when you make a good product and sales just sky rockets. You can't keep enough in stock to satify the demand....




But Once again Enjoy!!

Yeah right!!!!

I wish I had the knowledge and drive of Steve and Matt when I was their age. All I thought about when I was 20 was getting out of the ghetto's of NYC.

I have narrowed it down now to either a Frankencar Intake or an Injen CAI. I've read numerous posts from people complaining on how long their intake took to arrive. I've researched both of the intakes I'm interested in only to come to a dead end. I'm kind of leaning toward the Frankencar Intake now although I'm wondering how long I'm going to have to wait if I order this about a week from now. Is Steve still bogged down with orders? Can anyone confirm this? As for which intake is better, Frankencar or Injen CAI, I have yet to see evidence that shows which one excels above the other. Any feedback on my questions would be appreciated.

Your Auto go with CAI. It will out peform the Franken car in the winter time. Franken car is good if you are cheap or low on cash and want instant gratification. Not to mention the long azz wait!

Next time you want to eat a 15 dollar meal for a 100 bucks and wait for me to cook it for 3 months, let me know. I'll be glad to cook it for you.

People like me buy it because we are not that mechanically inclined or have the time to fool around with trying to figure out how to make and install it. Also for $135 I'd rather pay somebody else to make it and know it is going to work right.

because you will get a nicer looking product and will support a fellow maxima owner and .org member's business. how's that?

Whoa, I thought people on the org had slightly more ambition that this to mod their car. So you'd pay an extra 100 bucks for something that is very simple to create, virtually requires no brain to comprehend, and yet you claim you dont have time to create such a midpipe, yet you have time to make a 100 bucks. Unless you make a hundred bucks an hour, I would re-think that fooling around with a car and learning something. No offense, but you're probably one of those guys who pays 80 bucks to change brake pads. Anyway, to each his own. I hope this guy gets rich off these midpipes, b/c I certainly find his ads amusing.

Calm down

Your acting like I'm the only one spending money on this, from what I hear great product. Have you been on the forums lately cause I'm not the only one spending my money on this. Yes I have time to make the money but not the product its called a job and school and going out to have fun. Anyway your acting like 135 for the intake and midpipe is such a big deal and its not. Its like I'm spending 500 on something like a 4" exhaust and decals this is a tried and true product and helps support a member of the org.

I don't think so dude. I'm not low on cash and I bought one after months of testing. Buying an intake has nothing to do with being rich so that noise needs to be killed. Frankencar did a lot of tests too to back up their product. Buying mods is about buying what works plus did you know that the CAI has a terrible drop in high RPM's? The Frankencar or other hybrids don't.

The funny thing is that one day I was with Steve and some little honey from his job. We all went for a ride in his car and noise from his intake along with the blistering speed of his 2K2 had that chick all over his tip. He did get the girl.
