I made a intake on my car, I made it a 6 inch pipe off the MAF and then put a K&N filter. When I started it up it was sucking extremely loud. My dad has a intake on his truck and it doesn't suck that much as well as my friend on his impala, but when I am driving it sounds so nice it sounds like a Z its beautiful.

Just wondering if it is bad for the car to have a short intake like that, I am making a hot air blocker so that it is just right behind the battery. Is that ok or should I do something else?

 

Don't worry about. Everybodys doin it

 

You have any pics?

 

id like to see some pix too

 

Cool! Any clip of how your intake sound like a Z?

here are the pictures you guys wanted, and as for a sound clip idk how I would do that. I got the intake out of an s10 from a clunker at the car dealership I work at and I pieced it together. It made a huge power gain from just the exhaust. As soon as my friend lets me borrow his camera ill shoot up a video for you guys.

 

Looks good, man. That's what a lot of the intakes look like. Some even replace the middle section with a straight pipe with good results, though that would call for more fabrication. Props on doing it on the cheap.

BTW, I don't think you'll need a heat shield or anything. There isn't any heat coming from the battery.

 

Thanks for the pics. You gonna do a write-up on it? This should definitely be in the DIY sticky

 

I doubt I will do a write up on it, I am pretty sure that other people have done the same and it would just be useless cause it would be for the same thing.

 

looks good bro

 

true but at the same time i have not seen any yet...at least any good ones....im looking forward to hearing the sound of it...

 

Ya Ill try and put together a video of it driving down the road, its alot better then just the catback. Btw thank you guys for your complements. I'm contemplating doing a how to thread on it.

 

Looks good, I would be interested in seeing the How-To

 

Ok guys, here is the How to that I just made up quickly http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...e-5th-gen.html
