Hello guys,
Does anyone know what options we have for intake mid-pipes?? I know berk and frankencar dont make any more.

how about weapon R?

I did a search but didnt find anything and most are old threads.

 

I been through the same thing, its like they stopped making stuff for the 5th gen maxima, thats so odd cuz usually companies sell more Performance aftermarket parts for cars after 6+ years and once the cars hit the 10yr mark they start selling intakes n stuff like hot cakes cuz the cars are way cheaper to buy and the owners are now younger kids so they spend more on them to "hook em up" and for some reason theres like very lil aftermarket support especially for intakes. I found the injen intake for my 03. Everyone else makes their own home depot intake n such......

 

theres a guy (member on here) make custom.... hope he has some available!

 

I can sell you my berk midpipe are you interested?

 

The 5.5 mid-pipes could be easily fabricated locally. You could basically make your own stainless steel Berk if you wanted to.

1ft 3" stainless steel pipe:

1ft 5/8" stainless steel pipe:

I could give you better specs on the length and where the 5/8" barb comes out of the pipe.

Here is a picture of the one I bought for a VQ30DE-K.



5.5's don't need the two vacuum connectors on the smaller pipe, and in my case in particular am going to take an inch from the right side so it brings my filter a little closer. It sits very close to the battery as it stands with my bellmouth.

 

ill send you a PM.

Im not into that man.... but you did a very good job!!!!

 

I actually just bought a used Berk mid-pipe and pieced the rest of it together.

I'm just saying it's such a simplistic design by nature, why spend $100+ on a mid-pipe when you could probably have an exhaust/machine/welding shop fab it up in 10 minutes and paint it with some high temp paint.

Just food for thought since aftermarket options are dwindling. Thanks for the compliment though.

 

i have an idea.... make one for me and i pay you hehehehehe

 

Nice......

 

The only thing with stainless is the welding is not very easy. If you take it somewhere to get welded and they don't work with stainless you can easily up with crappy welds that look like sh*t or worse they are leaking.

Gotta be careful with who you choose...

 

Glad to see you're putting the Berk midpipe I sold you to good use.

 

I'd have to look into that, it would most likely be some kind of group deal. I have a couple of reputable shops local to me that would surely make the cuts and weld for me.

Shanka!

Agree 100%... I'm lucky to live in a pretty small area and still have quite a few options.

Thanks mang I enjoy it!

 

My injen

 

even weapon R dont make mid-pipes anymore?

 

About as generic as it gets:

Another option is to keep your resonator closest to the throttle body and running a filter off of an MAF adapter.

 

here is mine

^^^ youre welcome

 

the thing is i dont need the whole intake..........i just need the mid-pipe. Anyway if i dont find any..... i will stay with the small mid-pipe i have on right now.

 

didn't really ask for the help

 

as a side note, is it just me or is the 5th gen upper rad hose unnecessarily long? Has always bothered me

 

knight_yyz makes these.

 

I feel this way too, somebody find a decent shorter hose!!

 

Is he still making them? I haven't seen him post anything about it recently.

 

i already PMed knight... waiting for reply

 

ill send him a text to check his PM's here.
I know he was trying to do them in a 'set' instead of just one because there's no money in doing just one.

 

Wheres the thread on him selling this? Could be interested for 2 more ppl

 

i see lots of ppl are interested about mid-pipes!!! so i guess its up to Knight hands.... :P

 

I didn't make a short ram, but I adjusted the factory setup and replaced the baffle box thing.

i used a straight section of spectre brand (autozone) intake that has the holes for the nipples to fit into. used one for the crank case ventilation. used a coupler from an old injen intake to join to the maf, used the hemholtz to connect to the throttle body.

 

I'd be interested too! Def would benifit the pop charger I have now...

 

I know this is slightly OT but is the injen cold air intake worth the money? Looks like Amazon has it for $250.

 

No.

 

I love my injen but honestly once you hold all the parts to the intake it feels like its not worth 250 but then you stomp on it and it sounds amazing so its then feels like its worth it, its complicated

 

i like more short rams intake

 

Be a man!


TB -> LRMAF -> 3.5" 45" pipe -> 6" Velocity Stack -> AEM DryFlow...

Dont forget...battery relocation

 

Bringing this back because I am interested in a mid pipe for my DE-K like the one shown above. Is anyone making these?

 

Hit up can't.get.ryte for one of these bad *** 4" intakes. My car makes serious power. Couple other members on here are running them and can vouch. Car will need a tune Immediately after the install, I also have a velocity stack and an aem dry flow filter, nwp throttle body, 380cc injectors etc etc.

 

my buddy makes some hes in cali

 

Man that 4" looks ridiculous! I can imagine it'd go super lean with all that added airflow.
There's no simple 3.5" mid pipes like the one above? You guys know anything?

 

Make your own....Guys it's cheaper....I would suggest you build it around a JWT popcharger....!

 

I was actually looking into a Blox velocity stack with a filter, how exactly can I make my own? Just get 3.5" steel pipe and have it cut to fit or what? Wouldn't welding be included too?
