Stock Intake or CAI

Stock Intake or CAI
I have a 95 GLE, I don't know if all Maximas have the same intake set-up, but my intake has two openings (one on top of the engine, and one infront of the radiator). I need to know if it would be better to get a CAI (I would rather not drill into my wheel well), or if I should just go buy an Airhog of K&N box filter.

I would recommend keeping the stock intake box and upgrade it with the K&N replacement air filter. with intake systems they would only give you minor gains or actually sometimes power loss, only thing their good for is the sound. the stock intake is the way to go if your going for performance, and also remove the snorkel thing that lies on the radiator and you'll get some more power.

well, actually, it restricts a lot of the air, if you look at where it sucks in the air, it rests on the hood, actually blocking air, im not too sure why they designed it like that, but taking it off makes a big difference

I have the stock intake box with some holes drilled in the side next to the fender,and with a the resonator removed and a 2.5" vacum hose hooked up to it to try to get some outside air.
The write up is in one of the stickys ..

well if you belive what injen says then yes you should get a CAI.
if you ask me it's all a bunch of noise...
but i would buy my injen again. awsome sound, looks great in my engine bay, and i guess i gain a few hp/tq...
