Agreed

 

Me too.

I can't wait to go race at a track again. I hope I can maybe hit a 14.99

 

Thanks for info I bought a K&N drop in for now

 

Drop in doesn't do anything ... popcharger is the way to go.

 

This high-flow air filter has the same dimensions as the factory air filter, requires no modifications to install.
K&N uses premium quality oiled cotton gauze sandwiched between layers of wire screen.
This special design permits very high flow rates, improves throttle response and very long filter life.
Increases air flow, horsepower increases from 4 HP is typical

 

You read that BS right off the box...didn't you?

 

The answer is know, I got it from other posts



It depends on what you want to do
I am not looking to take my car to the track
I am not looking to be the fastest maxima it is fast enough
I am not looking to alter my new maxima by taking out the air box.
For what ! The stock set works quite well

I am looking for the benefits on the K&N filter
A little more power ,throttle response ,gas mileage and a longer lasting filter

 

Might want to check out the tornado too??

 

Ah that's gotta be one of the best.

 

Ah that's gotta be one of the best. I have a couple like that but I can't post 'em here 'cause of the language.

Possibly this is different on the 5th gens because of the 5k switch over to the shorter runners? I've had all intakes and my best track times are with the CAI. Best to worse times were:

CAI->OSCAI->JWT->stock

Also read Larry's (madmax2k) responses in this thread

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....5&pagenumber=3

He took off the lower CAI tube which resulted in a 0.2 increase of his time. He put the lower tube back on and the times went right back to what is was before the swap. Fluke? Perhaps, I don't know. All I know is what I've experienced myself and what I've seen on other cars.

Just presenting my evidence.

Either way, they're both better than stock.

Peace....

 

Uh oh! Clee, briguy, neal, dave

All 5spd max's, the lagg is felt greater in auto's. My friend with a '95 5spd has a pop and he feels no lag. It is definatally a tranny thing.

I know all yall like Dave, Briguy, nealoc have done pop tests, but have you actually done a back to back comparison with a CAI with YOU being the driver of both? I dont think so. Untill someone does a well layed out professional test of both, Im stickin wit my cold air.

 

GHEY

 

Ummmm... he's a 5th gen ... we're 4th gens.

You know there are differences between 5th gens and 4th gens, right?

And if by "pop tests" you mean, track times ... then yes, they've done "pop tests"... and so far, no CAI owners have been as fast as the owners of popchargers on the track.

 

Ahem,
CLEE OWNZ JOO!!!!!!







still not quite sure what exactly "joo" means

 

 

Clee, that may very well be. However, for it to be categorically stated, the intake tests should be done on the same car. I think that you would agree that there are variations in build, driving ability, other mods, etc.., which can skew the outcome.

I am intrigued by this intake issue (hence me trying all intakes) and am trying to get to the bottom of this myself but I think to do it right and have a definitive answer the methodology must be consistent and controlled.

Who knows, maybe it's pop for 4th gens and CAI for 5th?

Again, if there is a difference between the two intakes it's not by much, so either one is fine.

Peace...

 

Hey Justin,
after riding in my Max, what do YOU have to say for Pop-Chargers... ??

 

Well Geoff, I'd have to say...

Your car pulled A LOT more than my stocker does, Ima gettin' one!

Ahhh, now... don't start with me. My Max is fast, no b.s. VG, too! I believe also that it depends on the application. I am working on a CAI right now, though, and if my tests prove you right I will give you the credit for 3rd Gens but again I think it kinda depends on the application.
