OK, i am a bit confused here...... Everyone says that the cai for the maxima is good for low and mid range rpm, but sucks on the high end. I just wanted to know what the definition of "sucks" is for this case --- or in other words, does the cai lose power compared to stock in high end or is it pretty much the same???

 

No, a CAI gains over stock, but the top end isn't as good as a pop-charger type intake.

 

oh - ok - thanks alot - i think i'm leaning more towards cai now

 

i think CAI sounds better and goes better with y-pipe.
