There are numerous intake threads in the 4th gen forum that can be searched. People are still creating intake threads asking the same question over and over again.

1. Which Intake is better?
2. Has anyone bought an Ebay intake?
3. Is a K&N worth the money?
4. New intake solution threads
5. Which is better, Injen or PR or Frankencar

Its basically making the 4th gen forum go from really bad to even worse and even a pain to go visit. The overflow intake threads are becoming redundant.

Can there be a sticky made to alert ppl that making an intake thread w/o searching can result in a 1 day ban or something?

-Thanks In Advance

 

I agree, it does get old after a while. But a ban like that seems a bit harsh... As is obvious, not everyone has agreed on a definitive answer to the question of how the different intakes compare to each other, so it's hard to justify stifling the discussion.

Just my $0.02.

 

They need to make a y pipe and intake section. Btw on the y pipe, how do you get those 2 nuts off where it bolts to....

 

Agreed. There is no definate answer to this oh so common dilema. We've only had one dyno posted, showing the diff between two particular intake setups, and there were still questions in the end. This is one subject that will never be crystal clear. Too many setups and too many opinions. Since an intake is one of the first mods to go on our cars, 90% of the people on this org have an opinion on it (backed up by personal experience). A guy may not have changed his spark plugs on his own yet, but chances are, he has played around with his intake. I say good luck to whoever attempts to create a definitive intake sticky.

 

heres my new intake setup

I think yuo should be ban for making such a stupid thread like this and wasting space on the forum.
but that my 5$

 

The only wasted space on this forum is your redundant intake thread. You ARE a donating member so you have the means to search and look at various intake setups.

The only stupidity found in this forum is your lack of research skills. Next time you post a thread, please go HERE to see whether is was discussed or not.

 

Throw rat droppings at them, they will then fall off.

 

Any post that contains the words "which" and "y-pipe", "intake", "spark plugs", "oil" and any combinations thereof should automatically be moved to a new forum called the "Forum for the lazy newbies".

 

AMEN.

 

newbies should have to read the FAQ's before they are allowed to post. I read the FAQ's for months before I even joined.

 

Everyone isn't as sharp as you are, unfortunatly. (sp)

 

^^^ me too

The noobs that ask right away are just lazy

 

How wouold you guys like it if I saw any of these words in a thread, the thread gets deleted?

 

Faq's could be one persons opinion, i like to see what setups people have and what options are outthere, im not gona do everything one way or buy a product cause 1 person says to or thinks its the best

these forums are here for help so why not use them for that and talk to people about your car and the diffrent types of mods availible

if you dont like a thread then dont post in it and ignore it,

im suprised how imature some poeple are on this forum...

 

there should be no reason you need to get opinions on intakes and ypipes because THEY ARE ALL THE ****ING SAME!!! Find the cheapest one in the best condition and buy it. Dont make useless threads asking stupid questions about products that are identical. There needs to be a sticky for intakes and ypipes and any threads made about them should be deleted and the poster should get a 1-2 day ban. This section gets worse and worse by the day, I cant wait till it just gets locked and people can only read the sitckies.

 

Best Intake EVER !!!

 

ya scerw it, just lock every thread, and make a forums out of just stickies,
im sure that will be exciting

 

Or you could just answer the question instead of *****ing about it and making a whole new thread that just clutters the forum up even more and solves NOTHING!

Intakes are useless for the maxima, I did the hacked airbox and lost a good deal of low-end. It sounded sexy. I have since repaired my airbox, but left off the resinator and it sounds nice and I gained most low end back.

 

agreed, and for the sake of newbies read below:

Maxima Intakes Explained
By Dave B of Maxima.org (not the parts guy)

1) The Frankencar Intake is just like the Stillen/JWT "POP"-style intakes except that the Frankencar/Berk intakes comes with a midpipe that replaces the OEM resonator that sits inbetween MAF sensor and throttle body. The Frankencar/Berk intakes have gotten the nickname "hybrid". A Stillen/JWT or any other POP setup can be converted to a hybrid by simply adding a midpipe. There is nothing remotely special about a Frankencar intake. Nothing.

2) A midpipe has yet to be documented to make any power gains, but it does introduce quite a bit more intake noise and a generally deeper sound. Most owners tend to like this induction noise under 1/2 to full throttle. The sound emmulates the sound of an Acura NSX.

3) The Injen intake is not a CAI. It pulls air from the drivers side front portion of the car just to the side of the raditor. IMO, this is probably the worst place to be drawing air. Also, the Injen piping is routed close to very hot engine components (manifold, head, block, tranny) which will heat soak the nice shiny intake piping.

4) The Cattman/Place Racing/Warpspeed CAIs are the only true CAIs on the market. These setups pull air from an area that is sealed off from the engine bay. These intakes pull in ambient air. These intake require cutting a 3.2" diameter hole near the battery to route the piping. Many owners are afraid to cut into their car for fear of resale problems. The truth is a good cut is not noticable because the hole sits in a location that is shielded by the battery and wiring harnesses.

5) The hacked airbox is when you cut out the lower airbox to bring in more air. This results in more sound, POP intake power, and the introduction of hot engine bay air.

6) The POP/hybrid/hacked airbox intakes are assumed to make better upper rpm power at the expense of lower rpm power. "Boggy" throttle response, especially in hot weather is common with these intakes. The lack of throttle response is most likely due to removing the pressurization effects of the stock intake tract and drawing in hot engine bay air.

7) The CAI intakes are assumed to make better lowend and mid rpm power. The CAI intakes don't seem to suffer from the "bogginess" problems because of the 14" longer intake tract which is able to store a column of air and in a sense keep the air pressurized, less turbulent, and cooler.

8) Dynos and track results have proven that all the intake setups POP/hybrid/Injen/CAI/hacked all perform basically the same assuming the air outside is cold and the engine is cooled off.

9) Hybrid/POP/hacked/Injen intakes pull in underhood air therefore in the summer these intakes can be drawing in air that's over 140 degrees. A CAI will be pulling in ambient air. It has been shown that the engine bay air cools down to near ambient once the car is moving at 30mph+ for a few minutes. The problem is the temp sensor and knock sensor typically will detect the extremely hot air coming in therefore from a stop the car's acceleration can feel weak in 1st gear. At the track this can cause a much slower 330' if the engine is not cooled.

10) In the end it comes down with what you're will to pay and what kind of driveability you want.

 

One thing you're forgetting ceasar is that Dave B said that the PR CAI w/ stock resonator is the best setup he tested, period.

I still say PR CAI w/ stock resonator is the best setup if you're going aftermarket. No one can tell me any cons to this setup other than cutting a hole.

 

^^^^ Ceasars post should be the sticky.
Everything else should be deleted.

 

agreed.

 

me 3

 

i feel bad cause i remember asking about intake stuff.... now that i've been around for a few months, i can see how that would be a bit repetitive...

 

This is supposed to be a community right? There are going to be stupid repetitive questions, thats what happens with alot of new people joining the community. Why not show your maturity and ignore stupid questions instead of complaining about it? Or even answer them instead of yelling "STICKIES" at them. If the title has the word intake in it, you can easily not open it. Most of them are askng for experiences/opinions anyway and that would make a very boring and extremely long sticky because everyone has different experiences. Make an intake and basic mod forum if you really can't stand repetitive posts. And I have read alot of "i hate noobs becase..." posts, and they get quite repetitive too. Thats just my opinion.

 

I'm going to have to agree with you on this one. The problem will never end as long as people are still joining the org. So I say either ignore the thread or answer the question.

 

of course theres going to be newbies, have fun like me and rip those newbies to pieces. The only way a newbie will stop is when they see there own mistakes, til then im going to have fun taking them apart!

 

zander.

 

couldnt of said it better myself, we were all newbies at one point....

 

DA MAN

 

nice intake

 

congrats on your 15 posts.

 

You hit the nail on the head. i f wasn't for the threads and different questions I would think this place to be very boring
