I am looking to buy a good one air intake kit which really will produce extra 10-15HP, but do not have a lot of $$$ to pay for this, could it be under $30-35?
Anyone has real info or links where to buy this stuff?

Also filter has to be replaced every 15k miles or just wash it?

Thanks in advance for info!

I don't believe any intake, pop-charge, CAI, or drop-in, is going to give you 10-15 HP. You may see this increase if combined with a y-pipe.
Pop-chargers are usually around $100 unless you find a used one in the For Sale section. CAIs are usually around $200 but may or may not be more effective.

You probably won't be getting 15 HP out of an intake. Realistically closer to 10. Most cone intakes for maxima's go for around $100 like the JWT PopCharger. Then there is the Place Racing Cold Air Intake which goes for about $230. For the amount you want to spend you may want to go with the poorman's CAI, where you modify your stock intake system. If you do a search for that or OSCAI you should find some posts on that.

I have found air intake kit at http://www.procarparts.com/store/dis...20Air%20Intake

could you please tell me what do you think about that one? will it give me any HP gains? and is it true that it will save my gas?
The reason i want air intake is to save my gas usage, since i get full tank in nyc driving about 135-140 miles!

I also considered the procarparts.com intake. All it is was the filter and an adaper. I could get the adapter in ft. lauderdale for $25, and then just get a good filter. I think thats all you need.
