INJEN CAI?
 

guys im lil confused about the injen cai's..... what model number should i buy......SP1946, SP1946P, RD1945, RD1945P or SP1946B? I got a maxima 04.... lil help guys:) Thnx:D

injen is not cai ... u should get a used fujita... u can find em for like 100 bucks ... One size fits all :) 04-06

But i like the design of the injen:D so which model number should i buy for my max.:)

I dont know but i think you should buy a fujita :laugh::p:laugh:

injen not a cai? how come it said on ther website cold air intake? :)

What exactly do you like about the Injen? I think a 1 piece Fujita design is superior to the 2 piece Injen design. I think you're going to find most Maxima owners will recommend the Fujita. In fact quite a few switched from Injen to Fujita. I myself own and recommend the Fujita.

Don't listen to these haters Jimmy. I have the Injen and it's an incredible unit. I cannot compare it to the Fujita as I haven't owned one but the Injen unit is disputably one of the hightest quality CAI's out there and is "Dyno-Proven"!! The 2-piece design has it's plus and minus' for sure so I won't dispute that. But the one thing you won't hear the Fujita lovers dispute is the sheer GORGEOUSNESS of the Injen! :D

The injen is a CAI...

Except for the fact that the Fujita comes in a polished finish as well and doesn't have a scrotum hanging off it either ;)

I beg to differ.

1. Fujita is one piece design - superior, less parts to break, smoother air path

2. Fujita comes in both wrinkled black and polished - sexy either way.

3. Fujita is a dragon, injen is not

4. Just like injen, FUJITA is dyno proven with same or better results.

5. and the most important thing is.....CHERN has switched from injen to FUJITA.

6. #5 is enough reason to get the FUJITA DRAGON.

Intakes are overrated.

From what I've learned from you, headers are where it's at. See what you can learn by listening?

LOL Nmex

Surprised you don't askd for ID of the Fujita tubing anymore.

Seems like that's the general idea. I've been through a whole boatloadf of intakes, and I have gained the most with the chepaest piece, which was an AutoZone cone filter.

Typically available in the ricer aisle.

I wouldn't mind trying to retrofit a Fujita, but the things that gets me is the MAF boltpattern. It would probably be more work than I'm willing to do.

I'm still working on proving the stock airbox is good enough for most if not all applications, just like I've proven the stock 5th gen muffler is not as restrictive ad most people think.

Aside from that though, you guys have it made in the intake world since it seems as if you have more quality options available, so unless you have a thing for dragons, Nismo parts, or like to have the phrase Dyno Porven in your engine bay, it doesn't matter.

I don't want to make a big thing out of this, mostly because there's no point. To each his own and I have absolutely NO doubt that the Fujita is a FINE unit and certainly more price competitive than the Injen. My little "dyno proven" comment was simply sarcasm.

As far as why Chern switched from Injen to Fujita, maybe you should ask why he switched? And if I'm not mistaken, he had the same trouble with mounting breaks on both. Personally, I don't think you could go wrong with either unit, or several others out there. BTW, WTF is Dragon??

well said my friend...

the fujita is MUCH cheaper than the injen also...

a black one can be had for liek 180.... and chrome for like 195.. just search around...

LOL. Of course both are good intakes and so is NISMO.

you are wrong about chern

FUJITA CAI is a DRAGON at WOT. IT SCREAMS WITH FIYA! :D

does scream ... sounds so sick at wot...

You may want to double check his cardomain page where he shows the upgrades to the CAI mounting after breakage. ;)

the letter on the end designated the color of the intake. that is all as far as what you should get, go with the sp1946 !

that is what i have and i love it !

Whatever the case, get that baby installed and you'll be sounding like this.

kinda on subject,

mack, why did u keep that black box connected to the intake going to the IM? are we supposed to keep that cause i didnt.

LOL the "This one from a dead stop is funny... i thought u were like a 12 second car .. till i saw it was going down hill LOL ...

Both intakes are great... i gues its all on "brand" preference ... they both do the same thing...

fujita 1 piece...

Enjin 2 piece AND includes a ball sack :D


Fujita $175-$199

Injen $230-$246


Once again.. both are close and sound good and do the same thing LOL...

Yeah...it comes with something like this between the engine and the CAI

Keep in mind this is with only mufflers and cai at the time... !!!!!!!!!
Ypipe now hos made it a little louder/different in sound ...
enjoy

LOL 2 reasons.

1. The instructions said put it on, so I put it on.
2. Nobody is going to snip MY ballsack w/out my permission! http://www.thespeedbox.com/emoticons/thefinger_red.gif

Sounds DAMN good fastmax! I'll have to get some new video/audio now that I have the new Magnaflows on. Mmmm...

Thanks man... yea it really roars w/ the magnaflows... i freak ppl out all the time on the freeway... its funny :laugh::D

no need, his bracket on the injen broke off, leaving a hole in the CAI. As far as fujita goes he specificaly didn't have any problems. He kept the extra bracket he made for injen as extra support just in case Fujita bracket was to break.

mack: what does it do, im curious? i looked in my box of oem siht and found it!

i think its some sort of dust filter... ?

Yeah I asked Chern and he said it was some type of filtering system as well, which ultimately can't be a bad thing, especially for a daily driver. Now if I were like Deus and at the track? Yeah I'd have a Fujita. Hell, if I did it all over again I'd probably get the fujita as well but I'm definitely very happy with the Injen unit. p.s. thanks for clarifying Xoomer. ;)

You got it chief. :)

First off Injen is a true CAI like the Fujita and Nismo. Second, I have been fortunate to of owned both and would rate both fairly equal, especially the updated Injen as compared to the one I put on my car over 3 years ago, I now run with the Dragon but I still have tons of love for the Injen. And no one use the broken shock mounts as an excuse to like Fujita more, because the Fujita ones are slowly starting to fail also, that's why I custom fabbed my own bracket. Leaned this trick from my Injen days... Go with what you like bro, the Dyno numbers will still be about the same...

Jimmy boy, get a fujita, the injen has a single bracket design and it breaks, I know. I broke mine..... so got a fujita in black. LOVE IT!!!

Fujita all the way.

OK thnx guys:D i guess intake is a intake doesnt make diff.... i just ordered my INJEN and cant wait for it....:) any sudjestion on installing it like MODS on the bracket to make it strong or any suporting to CAI?:)

this thread is old but i just was doin some research cause im looking for a cia. jimmy hav u found any issues with ur injen since u got it? im more interested in the injen cause i could convert it to short ram when winter comes around.

i havent been checking this forum lately... and nope.. i havent get any problem of it.... and yup thats the reason why i get injen cuz it can be converted.... specially where i live... damn floods everywhere..:D

Just as an FYI, the injen doesn't convert to a short ram without buying parts and modifying. Even though its a 2 piece you cant just take the lower half off and connect the filter to the upper half unfortunately. If you want a short ram go with the Berk intake... I have the injen and its nice but the short rams sound better IMO. I kinda miss the Berk I had on my 02se.

FYI injen can be converted to a short ram. you jus have to get a mount bracket welded on

Your the guy with teh MAF mod on a stock airbox right? Still havent aswrd my quest. How did you get 242hp on your motor with a 4sp autotragic?
