another stillen question. I know but..
is this the useless piece everyone keep talking about??
I saw in another post that the piece was metal? Mines a 2012 so I was just curious if it was different?
intake will be here in the next hour so I'm just starting early :-)

DONE!!! Video >>>>

One thing that sucks is ...while I was installing the new intake I lost one of the bolts into the engine
What should I do? Will it be able to hold with just 3 bolts in the filter?

Also the air box doesn't feel secure. I guess mines a new model because they didn't give me a SILVER BRACKET at the top of the filter so it just kinda hangs there?
Ive installed CAI/SAI on my 97, 99, 02 Maxima and none of them were like this install. Does anyone feel this way too?

You won't notice anything except for a louder engine.
The stock airbox actually performes better than any CAI.
Lots of dynos and threads on it.
You may notice an increase if your FI, but if your just NA, only do it if you want to hear your engine scream.
I like mine, but it's even noisy at idle.

I shouldn't have quoted the entire statement.
Nevertheless, I installed the intake, UDP and catback exhaust together so I can't say how much or how little the intake contributed to power. The car feels stronger in the mid to upper revs. Moreover, I was unable to log fuel trims etc to confrim if the intake leans out the car or richens it up. The intake looks great but is too loud for me at WOT. For this reasaon, I removed it and now have it for sale.
Not trying to derail this thread.
OP: if you remove one of the 3 bolts(carefully) you should be able to source the same size, length and thread pitch from a local hardware store.
