Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy the Nissan intake adapter($25) and a reuseable cone filter such as Ractive, K&N, Tenzo, even Akimoto($30-$60)?...Rather than a Stillen, or JWT popcharger? Wouldn't you get pretty much the same gains as well as a little more cash left in your pocket?

yeah it would probably be cheaper, but would the air flow be as efficient as an aftermarket pipe? i don't think so, but you are right about it being cheaper. i spent about $250 on an intake from PlaceRacing, i just have to send it back and get the correct one from them, they sent me an intake for the 2000 model and not the 1999 model. Small differences, but the intake doesn't fit quite like it's supposed to, considering that the hoses are in different places and all.

there maybe a slight increase from stillen or jwt but then you are also paying for the name..............you can even make your own homemade cai...it has been done just some pvc and then by a universal filter and put on the end of it...

that is exactly what I did?.................
