Can we make this intake from an Altima work?

This picture clearly shows the "air scoop" on the Altima moves air directly into the intakes path. Has anyone tried to fit this on a Maxima? I'm sure the gains would be minimal if anything, but every bit helps. I wonder if all you would need to do is drill holes in the front support brace and put those 4 little clips in.

After looking at this pic of my car, I realize the battery is in the way. Should have checked that first.

i doubt you would really see any diff, it would be a better idea if you could run a scoop from a place that can run more and cooler air.

I think you can add a hose a big one from under the car and make it look like a Cold Air intake or something. Cosmetic... I don't think so but it will work...

the reason why we have out intakes behind the batter is to provide some kind of heat shiel "heat shield"

if u move your filter by the air scoop .. your gonna get engine air .. very hot..

i think the altima intake is well made

funny you should mention that the altima intake is made well
I made it..no seriously..Anytime you get the chance..look for a ABC(in an oval) symbol on the intake..thats the name of the company that i worked for when i designed it.
Also you cant move it over since there is a resonator dangling beneath the airintake
