hello all........ijust got a new 2001 nissan maxima.
I'd like to get a cold air intake system for the car but I'm not quite sure which brand to go with. Got any suggestions?

 

Place raceing is the only one that makes a cold air for the maxima that I know off. about $225. Good luck and welcome

just dont put one in
with dealer/warranty hassles, possible rain damage, the fact that you have to drill a hole in your bumper, etc
not really worth it in my opinion
i was kinda like that when i first got my car.. gotta do this and that to it, but the more i thought i about it im better off just saving the $
sure i wouldnt mind making the car faster, once you put one thing on im willing to bet your gonna be hooked and go mod crazy

 

If you don't want to drill, then get a cone intake.

 

.... a cone filter instead, just in case you have to take your car back to the dealer for some reason, they won't give you a hard time about your warranty. You can just put the stock air box in and nobody would notice. But also talk to those with CAI and ask them about dealer service with that set-up, Myself I have a cone intake. Can't stand the thought of cutting a hole in my baby. And welcome to the forum...

 

I don't see what the big problem is really, U cut the hole in the fender, and when U break something put the factory air filter plumbing on and take it to the dealer, where the hole is located on the fender U can't see it once the factory stuff is on, or just move the battery slightly over it. the dealer won't go in there looking for holes.

 

I agree with JW82 and I really would'nt do anything for a while...I mean it's pretty quick right now anyway. I'm thinking about getting an amsoil drop in filter for mine soon.
