I just installed a K&N style cone filter using a bolt on bracket from a local speed shop. I am pleased that it doesn't start barking until you let into it. Once I opened up the throttle a bit..WHAM!

However, when I am doing normal driving around town and freeways I keep it under 3k and have noticed the car seems to run a little cooler and has improves my mileeage almost 2mpg's..that's awesome!

should I be waiting for a problem? Are there any side effects from an HAI system? Someone out there let me know PLEASE!

 

congrats.. and now the mod bug has bit you...


be prepared to spend $$$$

 

Yes Yes I have the Mod Bug!

I still want to know if the HAI setup will have any negative consequences to my engine..will it burn it up? Can I expect ignition problems or anything?

 

No problems at all. Your engine is thanking you for it so enjoy it.

EDIT- However, the only thing you need to wach out for is when you clean and re-oil the K&N, make shure to NOT over oil it or you will have some MAF sensor problems because of excess oil......thats about it

 

Thanks for the feedback!

 

now go buy more mods!!

 

***WARNING***

I started mods just last summer and I'm up over $3000 in mods since! It's an obsession! I wish I had one million dollars!

 

i got same setup, only i have the piping also. Good setup. Although i compared it to my friends intake on his max, and its not the same sound. But both are loud

 

 

hahaha, Dr. Evil is great...


anyways, yeah, definately once you start, you will never stop. The filter was my first mod, now i went on to the Y-pipe...

I have the same setup, i bought it as a temperary and was gona do a CAI but i like alot and i have had it for a while now.

 

Hes absolutly right, my first mod was the stillen intake and now ive gone to the hybrid, STS, FSTB, Ordered my whole new exhaust and a MEVI, at this rate, ill be broke in a month.. have fun modding.

 

SO the intake is good for the engine. and your engine knows that? is it going to talke to me? give me some CEL messages after while? please help HELp

 

did you smoke some of the silly stuff?

uhh no, your computer will not give you any CELs, no reason to. Yes, its better...it can breathe easier. And the only way your car will talk to you is if his name is Kit and its a black trans-am


eric

 

....and you look like this



...sorry, I had to *****

 

LOL, i loved night rider though. I was sooo ****ed when it got cancelled and then taken from TV altogether!

Don't know if you have an auto trans or manual, but there is a little lag under 3000 with an automatic. My 2 cents

 

Then buy my CAI conversion - http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hreadid=195225
