Yup Im in the process of getting parts together to build mine. All I need is a bypass valve to extend the piping a bit since Im DE-K swapped.

 

Anyone kno wtf this is for:

I dont know but I asked to dude if it would fit a 1999 maxima with a 2.5 swap from a cefiro. I told him I am a noob and asked him not to lie to me. The wait is on

 

Looks like a waste of time and money.

 

you sir is one badd **** lol a 2.5 swap i wana know what the guy would say since your a noob lol

 

Answer will be supplied

 

pretty much


so the piping has to be extended if its for dek?

 

Just a tad, couple inches at most.

 

what did you use as an extension?

 

Me no haz DEK or 00VI I know hornepirate used an AEM bypass filter between his MAF and CAI pipe.

 

Yeah Im either gonna use a bypass filter or just stick with coupling my midpipe with the accordion....for now...

 

Got the PR tube from Russ!

 

That's my brother from another mother right there for real, such an awesome guy. You're gonna love the CAI.

 

I know which is why I mentioned him!

Hopefully I do get some low end knuck back. Im running a poser sri atm (accordion>maf>filter) and low end took a shot since Im running with my power valve deleted. Deleted my power rod today but I didnt notice any more low end loss but pulls much harder up top. Power delivery is way smoother too. Im at the point where I can sacrifice some top to get some low back No more dual pvc intake without splash shield for me Hydrolockitis FTL. Silver lining, DE-K swap FTW

Do you run your true cai in the snow?

 

I actually ordered this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99...#ht_4135wt_962 and am gonna use the midpipe for my true cai build. They had local pickups. It was 50miles from me so I had a homie drop in to pick it up for me since he lives right down the street from the place. $15.77 out the door

 

FWIW you may need to cut the very end of the pipe off and make it straight. Im using the same style midpipe on my CAI and it sets crooked

 

You'll definitely get some low end back!

Yes I do run my CAI in the rain or snow and I've never had any problems. I still have the splash shield down there.

And that midpipe should work without cutting it, I have the chrome version and it's fine. There will be some play in the intake before you tighten everything down so you can adjust it.

 

Exactly what I was thinking but good to get confirmation.

 

I just took my dremel and a cutoff wheel and trimmed it back just a little

 

I gave my dremel away to my pops and he ended up giving it to his brother in NY . Was jus gonna use a hacksaw, cut, and sand the edges down...

 

Any update OP?

 

Whoah, didnt see this until today. Well Andre didnt have the right hole saw to get it cut. Right now Im running it as a WAI and I did lose low end torque but boy does it sound mean past 3k rpm.

 

Same. I have a holesaw but unsure of where to cut. Found a link online for a template but its too small. Does anyone have a full sized one?

 

i can go out side tomorrow and take some pics of mine maybey give you a a idea i have a thread on the install but i took the pics with the celly so they aint the best

 

I know where it routes to. I just want to drill the hole on the most optimum spot without having to relocate anything. If you have pics of the hole, thatd be great bro!!!!!!!!!

 

when i did mine i didnt have to relocate any thing ill get some good pics up tomorrow

 

Neither did I. You don't need a template, I did it easily without one and I didn't even have a damn holesaw lol.

Just install the pipe and it'll show you exactly where to cut the hole. If I was able to do it in the rain with a drill, big flathead screwdriver and a hammer you guys can do it lmao.

 

Coo I appreciate it mang.

 

Youre the third person to say to just use a drill and a bit. **** it Im doing it.

 

drill guide holes, and go back and cut it out with a jig saw

 

Exactly what I was planning on doing. I just found my jig and my router

 

One thing to help..

try to make the lower pipe not rub the fuse box. Its a PITA to adjust the pipe if its rubbing the bottom corner of the fuse box

 

Go for it man and keep us posted on how it goes.

 

will do tigersharkdude thanks.

So I should be drilling under the fusebox next to the battery right?

thats what i did then get a rubber garmet to bot around the hole so u dont rub the pipe metal on metal

 

take a medium sized vacuum hose, split it in half and wrap it around the hole

 

I got it in. Havent taken it for a test drive or even turned it over for that matter since I was sealing up vac leaks and will have to let the RTV dry overnight. I used a drill/bit to drill guide holes and finished off the rest with a reciprocating saw. The CAI tube was too short since the previous owner also ran it with an 00vi/DE-K but with a bypass filter. His mustve been a bit longer than mine. So I used some pvc pipe on the filter side of the pipe (fender) to extend it a bit. Luckily I still had all the piping and couplers laying around from my dual intake days. It fits perfectly. The thick rubber PVC coupler is wedged in the hole itself so it fits very snug.

Pics coming in a few days. Thanks everyone for the input.

 

Nice! And pics pls...

 

Oh yeah I got you. Matter of fact, Ill take some now. Its dark out but my cam has a pretty good flash. BRB
