i have no idea about this stuff...i love the sound i heard off the frankencar site...

just wondering which filter you'd use...the K&N or the apexi...is one louder than the other...more power than other??

just lemme know a brief reason why so next time i dont have to waste server space with this..

i did the search feature so dont post click here and send me a link to search thanks.

well, i dont know if both filters will fit in the wheel well or not but the apexi to me sounds louder at WOT and the KN sounds deeper more grouly.

I got the apexi on right now but I want to put the K&N back on. The KN bigger too.

Which filters had the mafs problem again? Oiled or non oileD?

 

Oiled have the MAF issues

 

looks like ill be staying with the apexi for a while then
until 30000 miles is it ?

 

wait.... k&n filters from Frankencars are oiled? damn,......

 

hey im new to maximas...pardon the newbie question but what is a MAF? and MAF problems?

 

its at the tip of my tongue... god damn what is it..... ****....

there have been some failures with apexi as well. some ran k&n beforehand and other it was their first filter. some say there is a less occurence of failure with apexi but if you think about how many more k&n filters people have than apexi, then i would be willing to bet they are closer than some think.

 

I blew my MAF with an apexi on. Ask Larry(China) the oil is not the issue on the failures from the info I gathered.

 

excess vibration could cause MAF failure... but given the high rate of MAF failure even when stock, I think it is a problem with the ECU/MAF connection. Too much current through the MAF element could fry the thing... perhaps the electrical drivers on the ECU are screwy or susceptible to transients when running hard...

I have a 2k and my MAF has never given me any issues... with any type of filter/intake... I've tried almost all setups

 

so UMD, I have a 2k3 max, so If i went with the Injen CAi (even though it is not as good as WAI) Would it be safer? I really want to get the frankencar w/k&N, but I am still concerned about the failures... advice?
