Will 02 Place Racing intake fit 00 Maxima?
 

I'm actually just planning to use the downpipe, not the midpipe section. Does anyone know if they are compatible, or what the difference is between the two, apart from the vacuum line attachments?

I just looked at my 02 and my wifes 00 and they seem the same. I have the PR intake on mine and her car stock. It looks like it would fit.

I can take some pics if that would help.

I think the only difference may be the vacuum tubes on the midpipe - 3.5 just has one, and the 3.0 has three. I won't be using the midpipe anyhow, so it'll probably work fine.....

CAI!?! but i thought you were the GAB grand master?

hey could someone provide the write-up for gab?
also, irish, you still got ur frankencar?

just trying something new. This is going to be a hybrid intake
though, I'm not going to use the PR midpipe, just the "downpipe" extension....

look in teh stickies for GAB writeup.

the Frankencar was sold several months ago, sorry!

What are you going for Irish. I was looking at doing a set up using custom piping. I'm trying to get the intake down into the fender well like the Cattman but take the piping all the way threw the bumper to the front. Running into a lot of problems such as the fog lamps front bumper filling and so on still working on it though.

nothing so extensive...I've heard alot of good things on some other forums about using the CAI but keeping the stock midpipe (on our cars, the kind of square-triangle plastic piece next to the MAF where the vacuum lines plug in....figured I'd give it a try....

I'm not looking to anything ground-breaking here, just want to try out an alternate setup.

the part that goes into the fender well will work, but the mid section is a bit different. GL

GL irish post some pics when you get it done. Oh BTW I forgot. I finally got my G35 rims on. Sittin on Eagle F1 235/40 18 thanx for all the info will post pics later in G35 rims forum

great, just the answer I was hoping for :bowdown:

sure thing, i've done it on mine, so you should be just fine

what are your thoughts on the performance, out of curiosity?

well I went back to the wai, basically removing the thing every 5k miles for cleaning got annoying. it takes a good 20 minutes just to get it out... even if you go straight from the outside to just unscrew the filter and get it out through a gap in the plastic... in the winter it sux, wasnt worth it for me.

on the other hand it sounds nice, I also a small elbow extension made by obx so that the filter wouldn't be pressed against the fender plastic and get more air. I also driled a few 2 inch holes from the buttom of the car for more flow...

I pland on using that PR fender extension in the future to just draw air from the fender well, and I want to build a heat shield so that even though the filter will be in the engine bay, the air will still be drawn from the fender well...


edit: forgot to mention that it gets dirty fster down there..

that's more or less what I had in mind.

btw, you never said how the car's performance was affected....loss? gain?

well, beats me. didnt dyno before/after... and you cant feel 2-3hp... u would think that cold air should be better, but then again. where does the cold air enter the fender well from unless you cut opennings. The is a small hole in the plastic but it's like an inc, so I dunno. but the filter stays cleaner so I think it's at least safer...

let us know what you decide to do.

ah...I just meant the butt-dyno. For example, with the Frankencar intake, I had a noticeable loss of low end response, but it felt more powerful "up high"....

give it a try :)

Where did you read this? Do you mind sharing some links? Cause I am in process of deciding whether to keep the stock mid pipe or not.

Thanks
