I got bored yesterday and figured I'd make some quick videos of how the Injen CAI sounds. Thought you guys might enjoy.

This one from a dead stop
Road Test 3

 

nice, i have the injen also, but your missing the best SCREAM, the 3rd one at about 80-100 is awsome, it screams soo loud and for soo long.

 

hmmmm sounds like something I need. Which model did you get, where, and how much?

 

LMAO! Damn man I haven't even gone that high yet. Kinda CROWDED here in ATL. But now you have me wanting to see how it sounds! I'll have to drive around a bit tomorrow and find a long lonely road, hehe.

Got mine on Cardomain.com for $246 to the door with a $20 coupon (just do a google search and you'll find a coupon easy). Best $$ I've spent on an upgrade yet.

 

sounds so nice, cant wait till the ups driver gets here with mine tomorrow =]

is that this one?????????????

 

CAI's are so much fun...

 

sounds very nice... maybe its my weak laptop speakers but it sounds like my fujita... exactly like it....

I just listened to my click and yours ....

Either way ... Nice setup ... cai is grrrrrrrrrrreat

 

what cai is it?
does it have a bypass?

 

fujita and NO bypass valve...

 

sounds good bro, im gonna put a short ram in mine shortly and put up the video very soon. we will compare them.

 

Yup, that's it!

 

Guys witch intake do you preffer.. a INJEN or a FUJITA?...Thnx

 

nismo.

 

OK Thnx.. and isnt too risky to have a cold air intake on max. cuz water might get in to it? ..... Need advise plz..... Thnx

 

NOT UNLESS YOU DRIVE IN LAKE OR HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BODY OF WATER!!!

if u drive your car where it shouldnt be... or drive it in EXTREMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE condtions... u deserve to get it f'd up...

get a cai... dont be a sissy and worry about water

i love my fujita and have not had a prob since day one...

 

CAI? sorry im new on this performance upgrade thing...

 

dood...haha C.A.I...what could i be talking about...Think man...




Cold Air Intake = C. A . I

 

Hehehehe...... ok....Thnx

 

 

Mack,

Whats that black box on the vacuum hose going to your CAI? Never seen that before on either my Fujita or Injen on my other vehicle.

 

Actually, I was wondering the same damn thing myself lately! I've seen the Fujita's and other brands and they don't have these and run straight hose instead of through this "breather box"? Maybe Chern can chime in as I know he had the Injen CAI at one point.

 

IMO, I believe it was added to the 05/06 models because the 04 hose fed from the CAI directly into the IM, it was added as a way to catch more grud/condensation/particals, etc.

 

Ahh makes sense then. I'd rather it gather up in that little box than suck into my intake. But the Fujita doesn't have this does it Chern? Is there something else that does a similar job??

 

If, in the picture above, you are talking about the little box at 10 o'clock to the red battery terminal that has the 1 inch hose leading under the engine cover, I have 2 of those on my 04 5MT SL. I was wondering what they are for.

Also, instead of running all new piping for an intake, can we just disconnect and remove the OEM airbox/filter and attach a 4 bolt fitting and a cone filter thereby using the oem sensors, hoses, attachment points, etc. I don't know squat about intakes but it looks to me (especially the short ram) that they basically replace the OEM piping and add an airfilter to the end. Does the throaty sound of the intake come from the removal of the airbox which allows the engine to breathe easier?? Please advise... a newbie intake guy.

 

LOL i know man... its like the 23rd one in the last 3 days

 

That's a damn good question man. Common sense would tell me what you're saying should be right on, basically making it into a "stockish" short ram. Kinda the best of both worlds. I could be wrong but I say go for it. I saw a bunch of filters and hookups at Pep Boys last night that I'm sure would do the job if you wanted to go ahead with it. As always, take lots-0-pics and provide feedback on your findings!

 

We seem to have a run on CAI questions this week...

 

yea, i mean i dont mind answering/helping ppl ... but when the same question is in the top 15 threads 3 times... it makes me a little upset...

anyway...

CAI all the way.. dont drive dumb in the rain or places u shouldnt be... and you'll be fine!!!!!!!!!!!! If there is 3 feet of rain u shouldnt be driving because of the junk floating in waters and other unknown or unseen hazzzzzzzzards ...... PERIOD!

 

im new to this upgrade thing also...new member here too..i have an 03 GLE, listening to the sounds posted above...I want 1! Is there anything I should look for or be aware of when buying a CAI ? brands? difficulty installing? life of filter? re-setting codes?

thanks

Fujita CAI for $169.99 shipped after $20 mail in rebate. Rebate offer ends Sept 30.

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=404410

 

thats such a good deal... i mean wow!!! 169 shipped....

 

How many easy payments of $19.99?

 

That is a great deal! STill not as pretty as the Injen, but that price is almost TOO good to pass up! If I didn't already have my CAI setup I'd be on that like stink on rice....errr...

 

yeah dont be sissy. your car is only worth $30 000. Dude if I were you i would not get close to CAI. get short ram. and dont risk it

 

this coming from someone with not a single performance mod

if u want the most HP/tq that u can get out of a intake get a CAI... if u want to be "Safe" , get a short ram...

P.s. if u are going to get short ram.. do it like dues... his setup is sick... ..if not then dont even bother wasting your money on an intake...just get an intake manifold spacer kit... no risk of water damage there LOL ... or cattman y pipe

 

its just so funny how ppl FREEEEAK OUT over cai saying it rains a lot etc... DONT DRIVE IN PUDDLES AND U WILL BE FINE... when i say puddles im talking about something that would come up to your hood...

sigh.....
