Is that an AEM water bypass valve on your intake?.

in was told that the bypass valve is AEM, i can't tell. i just like the sound this bad boi makes.

Ok I know this an OLD thread but I have a question regarding this subject so why start a new thread? I purchased the used PR CAI out the for sale section and its from a 2000. I have a 2002 so if I use the midpipe i will have to cut off the "triple head" on the breather pipe to make it work. I'm just planning on using the stock resonator instead. Those of you that have the hybrid setup, did you have fitment problems because it looks to me like the PR mid pipe is a bit longer than the stock resonator. Apparently it works but I'm wondering how exactly. Also the the template says its for a 2000 so I'm assuming its the same for the 2002 right?

Ok sounds good. Would it help to cut the hole a hair lower than where its supposed to be? Or does it just need to be bigger?

It will really depend on the alignment. I can't say for sure. Try the hole where it's supposed to go (using the template), and if you need to enlarge it....well, that's what a dremel is for

Another couple of questions on this setup: what are people using on the bottom of the fuse box since the white plastic piece cannot be used. Wrap the bottom with electrical tape or put a piece of insulation between it and the intake pipe or what? It doesn't seem very thorough to leave the bottom of the fuse box just open. also is the coupling between the MAF adapter and PR lower pipe connected straight? I can get the pipe to fit a lot better if connect the pipe on a bit of an angle but i think that would open to the door for a intake air leak, right?

I think I finally got the D2's dialed in right. My wife still hates the ride, but finds it somewhat tolerable now.

ya...great place to put the filter mate. behind the battery will yield MUCH cooler temps. why not stuff it next to your headers?

the stock injen location is so much better

...right where the fans blow heat from the radiator.

I see no reason to bump BAUERS pic, he doesn't even have a Maxima anymore, nor care what you or anyone ever though of it in the first place.

Hey I was wondering what filter everyone was running with this intake? I have a AEM dryflow that I put on mine but when I took it off I could about swear there was a dust film on the inside of the filter!

I have an extra KN filter that would work great with this except I'm extremely paranoid about oiled filters. I have previously screwed up 2 MAFs with the oiled foam filter on my short ram. Since the filter is quite a ways away from the MAF is it ok to use the KN?

Sorry for the elementry question, but how much is the appropriate amount of oil to use? Just a light mist over the whole element or do you have to actually spray each fold per instructions?

follow the instruction.
people over oil the filter and then try and blame K&N for blowing their MAF

Here's my version of the GAB, which worked well. Oh, and it's a free mod that actually gives you the same gains as any short-ram....

can you explain to me the benefits of this? since the holes are right over the filter, i dont see how it will absorb more air. did you just dremel the stock panel? i love the sound of intakes but after heavily modifying my legend, not really into doing an intake.

So can you assume that this intake (PR CAI hybrid) makes at least as much as the GAB/PAB?
Most people say 3-5hp with a short ram.

youre running this except when you dyno right? i moved to the intake you had when you made your PB (i think) which was just TB-coupler-maf-filter. the filter seriously sits like 6" from the TB. this seems to be the best intake IMO. the difference in sound at WOT makes me believe that something is different about it. the only bad difference was that the idle AFR was TERRIBLE. could tell the car was idling bad so i hooked up the WBO2 and it was reading like 18:1 at idle. i also saw that it allowed me to pick up 1-2 % leaner on the VAFC2. not much but every % counts IMO
