I was just wondering if anybody has bought the new CAI from Injen. I would like to see pics. I have the PRCAI.

 

I thought the Injen CAI was for the 2K2 only. Do they make one or are they planning to make one for the 2K/2K1?

 

Y2Kse, have you seen a picture of it yet, and are they sure it wont require drilling ?

 

they actually do make a CAI for 2k-2k1. Check out this link:

The only problem I have with this, is there are no pictures and no dyno!

 

Thats the problem I see to ... No pics or Dyno.... just a hefty price tag ! , the only reason I even consider Injen, is because it's Cali. Legal.... My Franken can cause me to get impounded, if some Cop gets a wild hair up his....

 

I'll call Injen on Tuesday. They're located within striking distance of me. If they do, in fact, make a CAI for the 2K/2K1 Maxima, I'll see if I can get some more info on it. If necessary, I'll go to Injen and check it out for myself.

 

Myself and a couple of ORG members might have a surprise in store for you CAI guys, but I have to check it out, before I pimp it...

 

I see it on www.optauto.com and www.nopionline.com no pics though.

 

I dont want you to flame me or anything, but you have a dirty engine.... or have you cleaned it and not updated your picture ....???

 

It's an old picture I resently put the rest of my CAI in and had it steam cleaned. Need to wax the ride B4 new pics.

 

Interesting ...

 

I spoke to Stacy at Injen. She's going to send me a picture of the 5th Gen Maxima CAI via snail mail. As soon as I receive it, I'll scan it. Then I'll let you know and somebody can host the jpg.

Stay tuned . . .

UPDATE

I spoke to Phillip in Tech Support. He said he'd e-mail me pics of all of the Injen CAIs for Maximas by no later than tomorrow. He also said that none of the Injen CAIs require cutting a hole in the fender and that they've all been submitted for C.A.R.B. approval.

 

cool I am interested in those pics.

 

Cool!

Hopefully, we can get rid of all them RED rice stickers.

 

OK. I've got pics of the 4th Gen CAI and the 2K2 CAI. I wasn't able to get a picture of the 2K/2K1 CAI. But the CAI for the 2K/2K1 has a design and location similar to the 4th Gen and the 2K2.

If someone wants to host them, send me an e-mail at bld522@yahoo.com and I'll send them along. I've got two pics and they're about 240K each.

 

I just sent the pics to kloogy. He said he'd host them on his cardomain page.

Stand by . . .

 

Here's the link to the page I hosted the pictures on..... I must say they look awesome !

Very Very Nice. I think that is the best looking intake I have seen. I wonder if they make one with blue trim. Would look sweet on mine.

 

i live near Baton Rouge where lightning is there prices are high on most things i think for some things there cheaper light head lights and stuff but on cai and some lowering springs there rediculous

 

Injen only makes red products...no blue, or any other colors.... I am tempted because its 50 state legal..... Im wondering if its as loud as the Frankencar?......

 

dayam these CAIs look siiiiiiiiiiick!!!

 

Yeah, but do they perform " SICK " and how do they sound....Im not out for looks under my hood....

 

Not yet it isn't, my friend. The Injen Maxima CAIs have been submitted for C.A.R.B. approval, but Executive Order (EO) numbers have not yet been issued. Until that happens, they are not 50 state legal.

FYI, here's the definition of an Executive Order Number:

Exempted parts are add-on or modified parts that have undergone an ARB engineering evaluation. If the part or modification is shown to not increase vehicle emissions, it is granted an exemption to emission control system anti-tampering laws. This exemption is called an Executive Order (EO) and allows the modification to be installed on specific emission controlled vehicles. Every Executive Order part or modification has an assigned number that can be verified by Smog Check stations, BAR Referee stations, or by the ARB.

word! for that much it better do more than look pretty.

 

I have a friend who worked for Saleen, they basically have to GREASE up the CARB, with annywhere from 20K to 100K depending on the product, then they get CARB certification... thats wwhy they pass the $$$ to the consumer.... RIP OFF ! Thanks again Cali, for F-ING me, without even buying me a drink !

 

Agreed, lcf. Still, it's only a matter of time before somebody bites off on one of these intakes. After all, the Injen CAI is the only CAI currently available for Nissan Maximas that doesn't require cutting a hole in the fender. It's also the only CAI (or HAI for that matter) that's been submitted for C.A.R.B. approval. And it's not THAT much more expensive than a PR CAI.

 

<==== Still happy with Frankencar....

 

Acutally injen makes a red,blue, and chrome intake. it just depends on injen what colors they want to make it. My friend has one on his civic.

 

Confirming that you do NOT need to dril a hole for this intake? Does it just have a filter on the end of the tube that sticks down near the bottom of the engine bay?

Tony

 

read the whole post and it says no drilling required not flaming but just read before you post questions

 

I only heard one post say this out of the whole thread. I was just confirming that this was the truth and not just a mis-stated fact. I'm sure others had the same question.

Tony

 

i wasn't jumping down your back but if you look at the pic it shows you no hole needs to be drilled

 

As has been stated, there are no holes required. And I'm not sure how everything bolts up. But when I talked to the tech at Injen, he said that the filter sits in front of the transmission. He also said that the filter is "small" . . . whatever that means.

 

I know you weren't jumping down my back, but it was a fair question. And nowhere in the pic does it show that no holes need to be drilled. One could draw a conclusion to this by hoping that the intake just drops straight down (which it apparently does...now I know). I was just asking.

Tony

 

my gawd! You guys are like a bunch of kids .. STFU already! It doesn't require any drilling ... INJEN is known for that!
















sorry ... venting

 

Easy does it, folks. This just isn't a big enough deal to get excited about.

I'm still waiting for someone to host the installation instructions. Then you'll be able to see for yourself PRECISELY how the Injen CAI fits in the engine bay. If somebody wants to host the instructions (4 pages in all totaling about 2.7MB), drop me an e-mail at bld522@yahoo.com.

BTW, the intake is really sweet. Whether it's worth $280.00 is another matter, however.

 

Man, some of your responses to other ORG members, makes me want to PUKE ! .... If you dont like an ORG members question, just scroll down and dont answer it ! Your RUDENESS shows your childish behavior....

 

OK. The Install Instructions are posted here:

Thanks, MaximaZero.

 

I know ... I'm a terrible **** @ times ...

 

NP, ohboiya. We're all terrible ***** at times. But it's nice when someone steps up and admits it.
