Seems a bit much for just the air filter frame, but that's what they want.

If you do the same math on my 2000 it would equate to almost 96mph in the 1/4 with basically a stock 2000 5sp!

I'm a firm believer in this style of airbox. I did this to my 4th gen's airbox a few months ago and I've been happy ever since. Yesterday I ran a 14.45@99.5mph with this style airbox. No resonators, K&N filter panel, and a cut in the lower airbox. My car seems to run better at all RPMs plus the airbox sounds much more healthy than the HKS hybrid setup I had.
FYI, this setup has been know as the "hacked" airbox by other members and it's been done for years now at Maxima.org.

That small peice were the OEM air filter goes into, u remove that and the filter is relaced with a K&N. If u look at the pics ull see were he cut it. Dont use a powered tool cuz its plastic and its gonna get hot, melt, ect... and just gonna make a mess. U basically cut off front portion of it to make way for more air to come in. Like I said look closley at the pics. The second thing is that snorkle in the front of the engine bag, remove is and the peice stickin out of the botton must be cut open from the end. Afte that slap on a 3" dryer exhaust onto it and aim it to the front bumper so it brings the air to the box. Think thats bout it.

Why bother removing the snorkle in front of the engine bay? And what piece sticking out of the bottom are you talking about? The elbow that goes from the bottom of the intake to the silencer? Don't cut it, just take it off.

But yea, just cut it out, remove the elbow and rout some sort of tube to the front bumper. I have a couple more pics on my homepage of it if youd like to check them out, page 3.

From what I have seen most people just attach it to the splash guard. I think that helps, but I would like more of a ram effect with out cutting into anything. We shall see....

Just did the GAB mod. Not as loud as i expected. Definietly not as loud as my bro's PR intake. I guess I'll go ahead and do the Ooglie intake. For those that wanted another link, Bigdogjonx has one on his site.

It's not. If you floor it, you can hear it. It's definitely a deeper sound at WOT. But under normal driving conditions, it's no differerent than stock.
Look, just go take the insert completely out, put the filter in without the insert, get it to stay in place, and drive around the block.
