There was a link with a picture of another CAI on here today, posted by MaximaOrg (and it was removed shortly afterwards)...did anyone else see that? Why would that show up on here, is that the administrator, or just a member trying to stear people away from the R2C???

 

It seems that Ed tells this to everyone. He told me that I was the first one to follow through too...

 

I ordered black powder. It won't affect the performance, and I decided that $35 just for the looks (which is is hidden under the hood anyway) is a little bit excessive. I'll better put it towards Vossen wheels

 

Same, its not really worth the extra 35$

 

What's their site and the phone number?

 

Ed told me this morning that his majority of orders came out of NJ. I laughed and said thats cause we dont pump our own gas,we pump our fists!

708.488.8211 Ask for Ed in sales.

 

lol.. as long as we all get to order so its all good

 

same here. i order the black powder finish

 

Does anyone have pics off of the 2 colors, please post
Thanks

 

Ya know... honestly, the tube is soooo short, paying the extra $ for the black nickle really is kind of a waste.

 

picture Ed sent me
black nickel finish

black powder

 

pics?

 

Also, any info on PERFORMANCE???

 

the picture i posted is how the black powder and black nickel look like. the difference is that the black nickle is shinny . i will say go for the black powder and as far as performance, read my first post. i will also ask Ed how much Hp we expecting to get with this intake
you can read more on their site

 

Thanks for the reply.
Man, there is so many posts on this thread, I do not mean to be lazy, could you repost please!

As far their site, there is no info about it other than call to place the order, unless I missed something.

Thakns again...

 

Overall, I'm please with the system. It offers Maxima owners a quality
system that enhances intake sound when performance acceleration is called
for without the annoying hiss associated with competitive systems equipped
with gauze filters. At normal cruise, it's rather subtle and allows for a
pleasant cabin without any objectionable roar. Power gains are very good
with increases occurring relatively early in the RPM band. While high single
digit increases won't dramatically change the performance of this platform,
it's certainly a benefit when you combine the gains with a great audible
tone, very nice under hood appearance, easy installation and the best
synthetic filter a Maxima can be equipped with. It makes no sense to seek
performance benefits and additional engine note while compromising engine
protection or buying a product that involves cleaning and oiling as required
and necessary maintenance. Plus, R2C system owners won't spend a penny on maintenance and the filters will last as long as the car. Unlike any
competitor, R2C filter technology actually improves upon the efficiency of
the OEM filter

 

Re: The HP gain question, Ed told me it was around 9hp.

 

I'm a little unsure of the price. Is this going for 289 for the base black finish? 349 for the black nickel?

 

284 for the black nickel and 249 for the base black powder
it ships out this friday so call and place your order asap

 

Gotcha, thanks for the info.

 

Plus S&H charges. Ed said that the weight of assembled system is roughly 12lbs. Shipped via UPS.

 

i think S&H charge is free.

 

Discreet pricing again. That's what "individual approach" means .

Here is a quote from Ed's email:

We use actual UPS shipping charges. The systems weigh 12 Lbs.

Regards,
Ed

 

I agree, Ed told me the same thing...from Illinois to Texas was only around $13...not bad at all.

 

yup its about 12 for new york so yeah its not bad at all

 

dyno results are up on r2c site

 

Ordered Mine today. Ships on Friday. Between that and the Y pipe, I'm done with what I'm willing to do for performance.

 

No you're not... Trust me!

 

ummm any updates from any1 who put the order in? i haven't gotten a tracking or anything from ed yet

 

My credic card was charged. So the order is in the mail

 

got my tracking number from ed two days ago. will be getting my package tomorrow from ups cant wait

 

If you are the first one to get yours, we are hoping for a quick review, some pics, and a video. It would help the rest of us out who are still deciding to buy it or not. Thanks in advance

 

i will definately do that

 

10 years later , this finally came out.....

Guys post some pics and tell me what you think about it

 

Hey Guys..
well as some of you members know my engine covers is painted anodized blue and i want to keep that same theme with my intake. Ed sent me a picture of a anodized red finish sample and he said the anodized finish will be cheaper than the black nickel if anyone is interested on that finish. i ordered the black powdered finish which i will be getting from UPS tomorrow but i will be turning mine to anodized blue finish to match my engine
Here's the pic from Ed

 

Dayum!

 

i know

 

Vary nicely made.Look how clean those welds are.very nice,

 

That looks sweet. Planning on ordering mine at the end of this week. Black Powder Coated.
