What intake to use?

I finally got a full time job with a pretty good pay. So now it's time to start fiddling with my car. What kind of intake should i install? I was looking at Stillen's and it's like $195. That's totally way too much, i think. Any tips? Thanks!!

ok..well..most intakes are the same. you can get a K&N FIPK for cheaper(Stillen uses K&N filter anywayz).

with Stillen and Jim Wolf, you get a nice looking and shinny velocity stack. others, you don't.

you can even make a custom intake using a universal cone filter and a nissan adapter for even less..

want some cold-air? we got that one too!! Place Racing offers CAI system for Maximas.

go to www.maximadriver.com and read some articles on intake under TECH section. good luck!

I think irvine78's custom intake would give a better flow because his is a Stillen cone intake (velocity stack), while this Frankencar intake is just basically an adapter to a normal cone intake. BTW if you just want to buy the adapter, you can go to this page.. http://www.procarparts.com/store/dis...pid=sk-9099MAX they sell it for 27 bucks with filter. And then you go to a muffler shop or a place like where irvine78 went and do your custom intake for 20 more dollars.... Just a thought

Hey irvine78, I am looking for an intake, how much would you sell one like yours, I own a 2K1 max, my Y-pipe and new muffler are on the way too.


Drop me an e-mail: dblea@videotron.ca

Cheers
