Which is the real reason people are buying Injen intakes. It's all about the bling.
"ohhh.... it's shiney and purdy.... something that purdy has to make alot of powah."
do you guys keep going on and on and on and on for!!!!!!!!!! It's so hilarious, it's annoying! I thought this was a 6th Gen discussion on which intake to get? I don't think there has been a 6th Gen guy with an intake that seriously believes the numbers claimed by "any" company. However, there's only been a very few 6th Gen guys that weren't completely satisified with the INJEN intake. I don't want to reiterate the pros again, if you don't like an awesome feeling when you get into your pimp 6th gen when you hit the gas, then don't get one. If you are too cheap to spend the funds, don't get one. If you don't like the wild sound coming out, don't get one. If you don't like bling, don't get one. If you are gonna be a sucker and believe the company numbers and then not get one because they aren't "as advertised" then don't get one. Keep fooling yourselves into thinking there are no gains, when in reality the majority of the cats worried about this are just to cheap to pay for pimp stuff. NO THE GAINS AREN'T "AS ADVERTISED" but get over it, there are gains and YOU CAN FEEL THEM if you have a 6th Gen and you have the INJEN intake!!! No, it's not a supercharger, it's an intake!! Like I said, maybe some guys can't feel the low-end torque increase, go get an the SPII exhaust too maybe that will help you feel it!!!LOL! PEACE OUT, you guys keep questioning the numbers and debating over ridiculous stuff and all the guys who have spent the extra cheese to get some type of intake, Injen or not, will keep getting that rush when they cruise in their load. Oh, and I'm getting ready to get the Y-pipe, I guess there are no gains there either.....LOL!!

Yeah, those of use who have spent thousands of dollars in buying parts and dyno testing them are all cheap b@stards. You're right though, if I had only paid more attention to mah butt dyno and not ever had the consideration to prove anything, I know my car wouldn't be as slow as it is now.
I was curious to know SR2ODEN, if you even have a 6th Gen Max? If you do, do you have dyno's to prove your claims of no gains in the 6TH GEN Max with an intake, specifically the Injen? If you do, I'll be happy to listen to you. If you don't, please take your "know it all" comments to the 5th Gen forums where someone actually wants to listen and cares!!!!!!!! By the way, please get a 6th Gen Max so you can actually talk about the 6th Gens with some solid evidence to back up your talk.LOL! PEACE............

Are you afraid of the truth, like some other people in here?
I'm glad you replied! No, I'm not scared of anything, much less your superior knowledge. You were never on my list, so it's pretty easy to ignore you!!LOL! It just gets so annoying when guys think they are so brilliant when it comes to the 6th Gen Max, especially in a condescending way! Since you are the genious, you should get in with a company that you love, like Cattman, and get in on their R&D team. I'm sure they could gain tons from your expertise. Also, since you don't have the 6th Gen, aren't the other forums a better place for you? Did someone ask your opinion in the first place? By the way, please put me on your ignore list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would really appreciate it! THanks in advance for putting me on your ignore list!! HA, ha!! PEACE
Oh, and where did you put there are no gains? I quote from your previous post, "Which is the real reason people are buying Injen intakes. It's all about the bling."

I saw this exact same response you wrote to another guy on here to Chris aka Chernmax stating his points about this guys responses. Man, you really are jocking this cat!! I'm not questioning the guys expertise, only his way of presentation and his LACK OF TRUE, SOLID, EVIDENCE TO PROVE HIS CONTENTIONS that the only thing gained are looks and no torque or power in the 6th Gen. I'm a lawyer man, I need proof. I'm NO IDIOT!!! Again, we can all concede the manufacturer numbers are biased and fake. I'll leave it at this and you all can bicker about it the rest of the day and for a week or so. Within' 6 months, the Dizzle will be smokin' this cats ride and lookin' more pimp in the process. Ha! Ha! Don't threaten me kid about leaving this forum. Ya' hurd!! Everyone can have their own opinion! I just asked him what Gen he had and if he was asked a question and whether another forum would be more appropriate. PEACE OUT and ya'll can trip on it for a while!!!

Oh wait, you're a n00b too, talking trash to one of the most knowledgeable people on this site! And you're a lawyer! That makes it even better!

The ones you linked were definitely excel. If the runfiles were made available to me, I would examine them thoroughly to see what exactly was going on.

I can't believe what this thread has turned into. First of all, no discredit or offense to anyone who has posted on this thread, but do you believe everything you read on the internet anyway. If someone is being immature about something, don't fuel their fire; ignore them.
I thought the topic of this thread was "Which intake is best..." and not do CAI really work as proposed.
Yes it is fishy why AEM has a freakin excel file for a Dyno run. I did not buy the intake for that reason. If you read my AEM CAI thread, I stated quote "I bought the intake for the sound first, then the HP. Since I wasn't expecting much from it, I wasn't let down."
Since we are off topic slightly, for those with aftermarket intakes who bought theirs for sound, performance, or both?

I see for the umteenth time you've failed to realize that Deckout lives in the same city as me. And it would be too much for you too arrive at the conclusion that he's a friend of mine.

This was what we were attempting to get to....but we arrived at the intellectual limits of some before we could get past the "dyno" runfiles.

How about this...would there be a way to set up a forum test some way?
Get some people from both camps to witness the dyno runs where a stock 04+ was tested with a stock intake setup, converted to some aftermarket intake, and then dynoed again?
I'd be willing to donate a few bucks to it and I imagine others would as well to help defray the cost of the dyno run. After it was over, the intake could be sold on the forum to help cover its cost.
That would probably be the only way to help put this to bed.

Should a screenshot of the dyno be posted, someone would cry fake because it's now a image file and had the potential of being photoshopped.
Should a video of the dyno be done then that same someone would still cry fake because it too had the potential of being altered.

Someone is sure cracking wise. You were warned once about that already. ANYWAYS, If a runfile were provided there would be no reason to call it fake or rigged. Because if it were rigged, we would be able to see that from the information provided along with the runfile. Its kinda like brushing real hard right before you go to the dentist to make up for those times you missed....they can tell when you are BSing them.
So I guess we need to do a few things:
1) Find someone with a stock 04+ that is willing to have their car dynoed
2) Set up an account for the donations
3) Get some folks from both sides to agree to meet during the dyno run
4) Agree on an aftermarket intake to test
5) Schedule the test
6) Test and E-mail the results
If we could all agree that the run file cannot easily be forged/altered without detection, then we could forget about item 3.
Item 4 probably isn't that big either (can assume all will perform similarly).
What might work out best is to find out who plans to get a new intake within the next month and just use their car for the test with us donating money to get the dyno run.
Maybe we could start out by posting a sticky asking people if they plan to get a new intake soon?

I will gladly take on the test, I have more than one 04 at my disposal.
We all know the excell files are just that much harder to modify

For whatever good it will do, I posted this: http://www.nissanforums.com/showthre...483#post969483 over at the Nissan Performance Mag forum.
Maybe someone will let us know what is up (why Excel files, etc.).
If my post suddenly finds its way to the bit bucket, then we will have our answer as well.

True, I have a 'modifed' dyno model of my car that makes 278whp @ 7750rpm ...
E55, since you're a moderator, it be nice to see if you could set up a doantion area for the infamous and reclusive 6th gen DynoJet file.

Run files and screen shots....
OK, NPM is asking for run files where intakes did not show gains: http://www.nissanforums.com/showthre...819#post969819
So...who here has them?
So...who here has them?
Since this thread is all over the place anyways I am going to ask a very
-ish question. I am running with no grill on my car right now (getting new bumper tomorrow) but it seems as if my intake is much louder with no grill. Is this because so much more air is getting in there? Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question but I just don't know for sure, makes sense but just wanted to check...
Hopefully I can just get a simple yes or no and not start a big argument over this

What I was hoping for is to have several people post back with a link to their run files and/or screen shots. I'll collect them and post a single message on that site.
