That's awesome cant wait to get it. I have show cars and love the polished look. This product looks bad a$$. JP

 

did you reset the ecu after putting on the intake?

 

should I?? if so why? Just wondering. Do you have to do this with the Stillen too? with such a small increase the ECU should self adjust right? Not like I put a turbo and a 90mm throttle body. Please give me insight...Thank you sir.

 

bump on my question 1sik?

 

well the reason why i said because i know for the 6th gens , their nismo intake in the instructions it tells you to reset the cars ecu for best performance, and alot guys on here when putting their y pipe did the ecu reset as well, (excluding myself)...so i was just wondering if the same should be done when putting an intake on the 7th gens

 

For the amount of time it takes to reset (about 5 min) it can't hurt...

 

Anyone figure out the actual reset procedure? I tried the reset yesterday but it wasn't working (SES) light wasn't flashing and I tried about 6 times. If someone could post a YouTube video of the reset that would be awsome.

 

i think theres a link somewhere in the y pipe impressions thread.

 

just tried the link in the ypipe thread and I could not get the light to blink so I'm not sure if it worked. Is there another indication?

 

Ya I tried that as well and I was also unable to get the light to blink. It attempted it about 8 times as well and nothing.

 

I tried several times after I installed my Y-pipe. After about six tries I finally got the SES light to blink.

 

thats weird , some got theres to blink and others didnt....did you use the same technique as the others?

 

I followed the instructions posted in thread. One of the problems is the instructions are a little vague. Do not start your engine, push the start button twice without your foot on the brake pedal. This will put the ignition in the on position. The directions tell you to push the pedal. Which pedal? I believe ( if i recollect correctly)I finally figured out they meant the gas pedal! Hope this helps.

 

Some say the proceedure requires a stopwatch to get the pauses exactly right.

 

I didn't use a stopwatch just what the individual suggested in the thread. One one thousand, two one thousand,..........

 

So, it worked ok for your car? Did you notice any performance benefits?

 

tried it again tonight and no flashing light. did do the gas pedal as it makes sense. The gas pedal has a "switch" under neath it that you can feel. I also notice if your cruising as you crush the gas pedal and hit this "switch" down the car really takes off. What is this??

i had this switch under the gas pedal as well in my altima, if you dont hit the "switch" when mashing the gas pedal to the floor then the car wont redzone, in other words to go wot you must floor it all way down

 

ok well i installed my afe takeda yesterday and absolutly love it. The look of it in the engine is fantastic and way better than any other intake out there. The sound is also amazing, it is loud!!! Im glad i went with this intake, great product from afe.

 

Heck yeah buddy. I love mine too. It is loud and I like that!!

 

Here is a Takeda video comparing the stock sound vs. the Takeda sound. Sounds nice!

Glad to see that you guys are enjoying the Takeda aFe intake So I guess you would say that my review was right on?

 

any of you guys noticed any more top end or is everything pretty much the same HP-wise.

 

hey can anyone help me out? which thread is it that shows how to reset the ecu by pressing and depressing pedals. I checked many of them and can not find it. I saw someone mentioned it was in the y pipe thread but dont think its there. thanks for the help

 

ok here's my perspective: Mine 09 I thought pulled pretty hard stock with the 18" tires. I switched to 20"s and noticed a drop in performance from the rotational mass turning. I put the intake on and noticed a performance upgrade. Not a whole lot, but I did notice a little. JP

 

yes you were right on with the sound too, The sound is reallly awesome , it has such a deep tone too it, when you give it the gas it sounds incredible, deff happy i went with this intake

 

I will be going to the track in the coming weeks, my best run so far was consistant 13.8's without the intake, hopefully i can pick up maybe another 10th of a second.

 

I followed suit, I could't wait any longer. I ordered my AFE Takeda yesterday and it was delivered today. I just installed it and if I had to judge it on sound alone I'm totally impressed. I got it for $219 on Amazon.com. Thanks Killa!!!!!

 

wow 219, what a great deal! I paid 250 for mine

 

The one for $219 on Amazon is a 3010P. It fits?? Amazon and AfE says it doesn't. Good find if it works!!!! Should be the 3005P. Did you get the filter cover??

 

Like this one? http://www.amazon.com/aFe-TR-3005P-T...3470258&sr=8-1

 

why is it impossible to dyno the Maxima to prove the HP/TQ claims?

 

because of the cvt transmission the car has

 

If you look up the part using the make and model of the car the price comes up as $265 or $279 according to which vendor you choose. If you purt in the part number TR-3005P and do the search it comes up for $226 and some change from Amazon. I did the latter and put it in the cart the next day I went to order it and they had dropped the price to $219. It is definitelly the right intake, I received it the next day and installed it.

It does not come with the pre-filter. The cheapest I could find it was from Oddonnellsautoparts.com for $21.16 plus $5.99 shipping. The part number is TP-7011B.

 

ok sweet. I bought the group buy for I think $228 and it includes the pre filter. So I think I got a good deal.
