Which intake fits best?

I am planning to get an intake for my Nissan Maxima 2000 SE Auto and I was wondering which intake would fit best? I do not want to cut anything, at least to the minimum. Just replace the stock air box. So which intake is the way to go? I have heard Stillen Hi-Flow Intake or Weapon-R intakes is best suited? I have done research, but I still need your opinion guys.

Thanks.

Well ther are a lot of different intakes outthere.. You need to decide if you want a HAI or a CAI. Injen is a CAI but it's not a true one because it's still sucking in hot air. The only true CAI is the PR but it will require drilling a whole in teh fender. You can always get the Frankencar type. Where you have mid-pipe and then a filter. For the filter I would go with the APexi.. Or if you want something simple then get a JWT or Stillen Popcharger type.

The stillen and the JWT are very similar, the stillen is a lot more $$, but comes with exelent mounting brackets, I was extremely impressed with it.

*note- if you get the frankencar, you can no longer use the mounting brackets with the stillen charger.
