Ok so i was bored today, i know intakes dnt add any hp, but i was bored and i miss the sound.

I was gona hack the airbox but instead i just removed the bottom half and the air duct thingy ( kinda like a very hacked airbox!)

I strapped the filter to the top so crap wont get in it, i must say it sounds amazing and seems more responsive.

If any of you are bored try this out!!

I had every intake setup except the injen style cold air and this one is my fav, but that might be cause it didnt cost anything!

i am very suprised at the outcome!!

 

How did you get it to stay up?? Sounds interesting

 

I personally think that the reason the stock intake is so much better is because of the whole snorkel setup, but I've heard that its because of the resonator also. I forgot who posted that, I don't see how that would make it better, but I heard it does.

 

The resonator in the midpipe straightens airflow and reduces turbulence. Nicer flow = less noise, but better fuel atomization, better throttle response, more power, better efficiency, etc. etc....

That's the main reason the stock intake is better.

 

Can you say RICE ALERT!

 

I tried this setup and nearly crapped my pants the first time I punched the gas! Jeezus! Waaaay to loud. Healthy sound above 3000rpm but below that it sounds like crap.

 

Motion to kill all the "best intake eVar" threads...

 

I second that motion!

 

mmmm Rice Pudding.

 

whats so ricey? the sound?
if its got better response, im interested.

 

Meh, I was doing that almost 9 years ago. It's nothing new...

 

Motion Granted

 

and he should know this since he has been here for al most 3 years.

 

any intake you pay money for is rice cause you spent money on something that is supposed to give you HP and doesnt

ok so the best intake ever is exhaust driven, but this is second.

 

some intakes give about 1hp, but mainly it will shift your power band to feel stornger at a given point. . . say high end, or mid range.

 

best intake = FI

 

I have had this intake setup before also. infact about a year ago i was rocking this setup like it was the best thing out there. To hold the filter on i flipped the top part of the box over.

 

I did this on my Altima. Growls like crazy on WOT. But there's no freaking torque in low rpm. Soooo slow acceleration. Keep the rpm's way up and you'll feel some payoff.

What's next? Find a way to redo the stock Y pipe?

 

Take the heat-shields off for weight savings!

 

thats what i did

 

Heh heh - just don't park on a pile of leaves :

 

umm interesting? 1 questions.. why do u have a pink max in your sig? just curious

 

lol - no kiddin

 

cause i cann't make a good sig if my life depended on it


And some one photoshoped this and i thought it looked pritty funny and stood out alot

The real color is sterling mist.

 

your sig says" modified catman y-pipe", are u holdin out on us??

New longer flex, rewelded the damned cracks and added ball joint flanges vs leaky arsed flat flanges

 

I like that hanger alot, i gotta make something like tat for my exhaust

 

heck why not the y-pipe it self! on top of that, the cat, catback and exhaust

 

did u use the good ol duck tape?

 

I did. For support, taped it to the FSTB. I learned my lesson, not gonna do it again.

I feel ya. Sometimes I ponder a vented hood mod (not slots, but lifted about .75 in the rear) and then I remember I drive a Max NOT an S14
