CAI + ypipe = very happy me.

ok, i just put it on and took it around the street. This is my 2nd ypipe, but I was stock for a year and I forgot what it had felt like !!
The CAI became more "growly", and contrary to what some say, I can definitely feel the improvement in low end. The car feels like it just has more to give at low end. Haven't taken it on the highway yet, but will soon.
My butt dyno is pretty accurate tuned, because I've had my car for more than 110k miles. You will see low end improvement with CAI + ypipe. Now have to put my eibachs on tonight.

If you were around me, I could definitely help you with stuff. I dont even need a minimum fee, but the thing is, I let a shop install the ypipe. I already tried putting on the ypipe myself, and it's not even funny, it's impossible to do it without a lift or an air tool. I'm gonna do the suspension myself, and I've already done suspension on another maxima, so I know how to do that, but the ypipe install is well worth more than the 70 bucks it cost me. No swearing, no bruised hands, no nothing.

I have no idea how these guys do the ypipes themselves..

On the highway you'll notice an even bigger difference. I had my CAI for a year, then added a y pipe. The low end I didn't really notice that much of a change, maybe a little better, but on the highway, it just rolled thru the gears with so much more freedom
