I am trying to buy a decent short ram Intake for my car. Anyone knows where is the best place to get it from? i am looking around $60-$75. this is the only one that I can find, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...spagenameZWDVW , any suggestions helps. thank you

 

I like the stillen one. http://www.stillen.com/product.asp?i...N&model=MAXIMA Its the second one that is the short ram one. I am thinking about getting this one.

 

IMHO you shouldn't skimp on stuff like this man. I suggest saving up for a decent one. Injen, Fujita, Stillen, etc.. Goodluck!

 

i dont what cold air. it rains too much where i live.

 

Who said anything about cold air?

You wont kill the engine via H2O unless you drive through 3-4 feet of standing water. And if you do that, then you deserve a dead engine.

 

Berk's pretty decent and priced better then Stillen...

 

got a link? I cant find it on the internet

 

www.berktechnology.com

 

Thanks bro, that's what I love about the Org. Helping others!!!

 

OR, . . .you could do what I did and modify the short ram so you also have cold air intake:

 

Always a good idea there

 

Deus, it just occurred to me, you really like red and black don't you? Oh, and is it just me, or does berktech have ZERO maxima parts?

 

dude when i click on Maxima on that web site, and when i select intake on the drop down menu i cant find anything. is just a blank page

 

explain in more details plezzzz. your talkin to a freshman

 

I designed and built a barrier - look next to the battery - so that hot air stays away from the air filter. I also opened up the factory intake scoop to allow more cold air into that area of the air filter.

Here is a more recent pic:

 

It be nice to compare IAT's.

 

Same here, when I go to the BerkTechnology website to look at intakes, I click on maxima parts or I click on intakes but nothing shows up, its just a blank page with no products to view.

 

Dont go for that cheap stuff on Ebay. I was about to buy one, but the guys from here convinced me to get a cold air. I end up getting a Nismo and so far I love it. It rains a lot in Houston and sometimes it gets flooded, but like the guys say there is nothing to worry about unless you drive over huge puddles. I went for the Nismo since it has the by pass filter just in case.

 

yea ... get a cold air.. u can get them used on teh site for like 150 shipped... wayyyyyyyy worth it...

just dont drive in a lake and u will be fine ..

 

My daughter went through a puddle in her Celica which has a CAI on it, but the splash shield has torn off the night before. The engine died but started right back up. When I checked the car out, the air filter was wet. Of course I bought a splash shield so things should be fine now.

 

heard a few stories like that...

just use your head and you will be fine..

 

Well 17 yr olds dont usually use their heads but hopefully she learned.

 

IDK, IM A LITTLE SHAKY ABOUT CAI, I THINK I FEEL I SHOULD GET SHORT RAM, ITS A 30 000 DOLLAR CAR YOU KNOW. DEUS, WHAT KIND IS YOURS

 

I like the short ram one better. Easier to swap back to the stock intake when I need warranty work done.

 

LOL, so do I...

 

Yeah but how many 17 year old daughter's get a chance to learn how to Autocross from their dad??? You're the first from anyone I know...

Oh and nice battery...

 

As I always like to say..... "You get what you pay for".

 

CAI.

HAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHA THAT WAS A FUNNY JOKE... LOL

 

I think this is a good short ram intake. I had one of these Jim Wolf ones on my old 95 maxima and the thing freakin ROARED

allright here is my thought on the idea. I had a short ram originally and then added a few pieces to make it a cold air. I love the cold air. I am in Washington State rain capital of the US and I have never had a problem with it. It sounds mean as hell. I did somthing similar to chern and built my own with parts from Autozone and Schucks. <==sp. anyways they carry Spectre Performance parts to make your own intake. You can pretty much make an intake out of any piping and filter adapter you want. I chose spectra because it sounds mean as hell and allways turns heads. Good luck and hope you find what you are looking for. First two pictures are of my 1998 Expedition and the other three are of my maxima. and this is of the maxima

 

Wow, interesting concept, thanks for sharing bro...

 

My air filter and the aluminum attachment is from Stillen and the main tube is homemade from PepBoys.

 

po8pimp: You should build a heat shield like I did.

 

Deus does it actually help? and that shiled is plastic or something else?

 

I think it does help. It has to. Course the only way to tell is with intake temp gauge. I made mine out of steel sheet from home depot. U can insulate it.

 

I think I am just gonna go ahead and buy the Stillen short ram intake. Easy to switch back to stock if I need warranty work done.

(its the second one on the website.)

 

Guys after you install a new intake, is it good to disconnect the battery for a while to reset the ecu so it will adjust to the new amount of air flowing in from the intake?

 

What is this filter your talking about
