Looking to do my first mod, and I figure an intake is the best place to start. Seems there are some good choices out there. I figure between everyone here, all the bases are covered. So which is the best bang for the buck, and why?

 

Best Bang for the Buck?

Berk Tuning= $89 shipped.


The best intake on the market for the Max? Not sure, my favorite at this time is the Injen cold air. Check this link out to find one for you Adventon.com

 

I would go with the frankencar..great sound plus good gains (10 hp at wheels). Do a search, there is a thread that compares all the intakes.

 

Quieter than the Frankencar, looks better, and provides an inlet for colder air to be brought into the engine without drilling a hole in your car.

I've had the Berk, Frankencar, and now Injen all installed on my Maxima. Injen wins the contest, and no I do not have any dynos to compare power delivery.

 

Yeah, I'd save money and go injen...anything else you'll probably end up changing anyhow...and then there's the MAF thingy.

 

just before you started....do a search on MAF and read about the MAF problem that we've encountered in the past.
