hey guys,
as u all know i got my 03 stolen and i bought an 04, today i went to a shop and had them put on a intake filter to the stock intake, i had a frankencar intake on my 03 and it sounded perfect, i figured it would sound the same because the franken car intake was just a midpipe and a filter, i got the car and was on hempstead trnpke and punched it, i heard it but not as loud as the 03 w/ the frankencar, i dont wanna go CAI only because i dont like the fact that it goes down to the ground but what do u guys think, i def want something louder.
is it because i have just a filter??, i always thought the filter is what made all the noise,
PLEASE HELP OUT HERE
thanks

a couple factors i'm thinking about:

-more sound deadening material in the 04 so you here less outside noise
-more stock resonators in the intake system so just a pop charger would yield much noise increases

 

thanks, i had a feeling the firewall and the resonators were the factor i just needed someone else's opinion
can anyone explain how a pop charger works or is it just a glorified reg filter

 

what do u mean how it works?

its just a simple placement for the stock airbox and scoop (on the 95-03 at least)

intakes don't give much hp if any at all. Likely 1-2 hp to the wheels, hardly noticeable.

 

i'm pretty sure the GAB has been tried on a few dynos and proved to gain several hp... could be wront, I didnt dyno myself.

 

why don't you try asking in the 2k4 forum, those are the people who know about 2k4's, not us!

 

i did and i got no replys, plus ima 5th gener at heart and who cares which gen i ask we are all maximas and anyway its just an intake question nothing crazy like engine or something that makes each gen seperate from each otha
