I have a question...has anybody seen this type of intake before?

I know it's for a Civic, but I was wondering if something like that could be fabricated for a Maxima...we have that big gap in the front, seems like it would yield higher gains than air from a wheelwell...who knows?

Just a thought!

 

Fake me out FMIC......the "ricers" dream!

 

I don't mean as a fake intercooler, just as an intake...it doesn't even look like an intercooler. Just trying to think of new things...

 

Yes I have seen it on a crx that works at nopi.

TRUST me looks like an IC. so if your not boosted I would not buy it. Good idea, it will look like your trying for something you don't have. But it's your car do as you wish

 

It would work great as a bug screen.

 

All right...sorry I asked.

 

the concept truly makes no sense...its not "ram air" since the inlet hole is not directly facing forward but positioned to the left. also the piping is long as hell going to the Maf, and lastly a lexan screen covers the filter(to protect from dirt)....ummmmmmm, why cover the filter if the goal is maximum performance??? its just "ricer" eye-candy, nothing more!!! BTW, there was supposedly one for the 4th gen a year or two back, never saw it and the company is out of business last I heard!

 

gotcha.

 

It came out like a year ago. I forgot what the name of the original company was. Anyway, Aerospeed (FL) bought the company out or the intake design. They do have an application for the maxima. Some guy on here had that intake. It works great for GXE/GLE. The pipings got in the way for the foglight on the SE.

 

don't feel that way here is a little something to make you feel better

 

yeah its all good!!!

 

We don't all swing that way, brotha...

 

yea really

 

id get one, but since i have an SE its the intake or the fogs, and the fogs def have to stay!!

CAI is good for now

 

it looks like a waste of time
