I just have few questions before I order frankencar intake for my 2k2 SE

1. does it require any drilling like other CAI?
2. does it come with any instructions on the installation? I know nothing about cars, but I kind of want to do it myself so I don't have to waste money on installation
3. does it really help the car run faster?
thx

 

take the maxima 101 class j/k , or just do a search on frankencar,,,tons of information and some dude holding a bid intake in his hands will come to ya

 

ya I see that picture alot, i think his name is dmbmaxima or something....don't really remember his name...that's why i didn't do a search on that

 

steve is the boys name,,,, you will definately feel power gain. i don't think you will have to drill any holes, anyone who can use a wrench and a screwdriver, in my opinion, can install the intake,,,it is not rocket science. i am sure it comes with instructions...again do a search on franken

 

1. NO
2. Complete instructions.
3. According to their website and dyno, it gives a 10hp and 5lbs torque increase.

thanks,

no drilling is required.
i have instructions in plain text and PDF
and you WILL feel and hear the gains.

 

hey,
this is a CAI right? not just a regular "HOT AIR" intake

 

it's not a CAI, if you look at the pics on the website, it replaces thje stock tubing with a smooth tube and a k/f filter and puts it as far away as possible. i'm also gonna have a heatshield available soon.

 

hey steve,
sorry but i'm really don't know anything about cars (except how to drive fast ), what does headshield do? is it sort like the same theory as CAI? making the air coming in colder?

 

yes that's the theory i will also have a air vent to bring cooler air to the area eventually and it will bolt right onto the system i'm selling now.

 

Nice paint job! You do it yourself? *cough* photoshop *cough*

 

no they are actually powedercoated at a very reputable place in my area. he does a very nice job.

 

Actually he was refering to Dixits "New" car color...not the intake.

BTW Dixit...Yellow?

 

i htink the yellow looks tite... when i win the lotto, ill paint my car yellow

 

Some of us are skilled at Photoshop

 

a red 5th gen would look sweet

 

Come on now, I am a Yellow Freak. Did you not see the Yellow Bike? Alright, well hows this new sig pic?

Dixit

 

Yeah, I like that color a lot better than the yellow. But now it doesn't match your calipers.

 

OT but:
im new to photoshop....im curious why the colors of the car in the pictures you did are so shiney and the red one i did is so rough and pixelated? i just saved your yellow picture and changed the hue. so i didnt change anything really. is it my pixel settings?

 

Son of a ....... NEWMAN, I had one, I was gonna post it, but you beat me to it.

Dixit

 

hah, sorry. go ahead though. it will look better than mine. see my question above? what do you think is making the difference?

 

Well my picture was originally done on a 1600x1200 pic and then cut to size. You are working on a 400x200 picture.

But I have to do alot of cutting out and layering to make it seem almost real.
