My slight variation of the OSCAI

My slight variation because of what I am using as the "scoop". However, I have already removed it to start on a new and improved version.

nice! given any thought to painting it black so that it blends more? i just used shop vac hose and a scoop attachment for mine...all blended very well.

i see you are in Greensboro! sweet! check out the Regional section of the forums - we have a "roll call in Greensboro, Winston, High Point" thread. drop a message in and join us for a local meet. meeting tonight (friday) in HP actually. IM me if interested.

No thank you, I prefer the sound level of the intake to be more inline with the character of the vehicle. Basically; subtle.

Can't make it to the gathering on Friday, since I read this on Saturday

I'll check out that thread...

Honestly I don't care for any of the intake designs that are on the market for the Maxima, so I am experimenting with my own. This was my first attempt, and has already been removed. Apparantly some on this forum are only concerned with conformity!!

agreed! some here are only interested in something if it comes will a nifty name-brand sticker...and an inflated price tag.

whether or not the product actually performs any better is irrelevant to them. it makes them sleep better just to know they blindly rode the bandwagon!

i like the creativity level with your intake ... good job...i have a homemake intake to... i removed the top of my airbox and and screwed in a k&n filter... if u hear it ... it sound exactly like a 230 bukcs intake and there is a 4 hp gain
so i saved 200 bucks
