so naturally, i'm in the market for a new intake setup. i know a lot of guys prefer the short rams, which is what i think i'm gonna try. any recommendations on which ones i should look at?

 

that su**s. fab up your own and mix and match like i did. wait til you here the roar

 

thought about that, probly gonna mount the filter to the maf for now...

 

I had a frankencar and I loved it. Haven't shopped for a Maxima intake for some time but I remember berk also making a nice one.

 

yea for short ram i heard berk is good, thats what ima go with im goin 2 order it next week

 

Not such a bad thing happened there. Well, except Injen's cost so much and should not break like that but anyhow...

... with the SRI, you'll feel better response and like it much more than the full Injen anyhow...

...

 

Never seen this happen before. I'm curious if injen would stand behind their product in a case like this. It is surely worth a try.

Otherwise I would pm Knight_yyz, and see if still has one of his short-ram midpipes for sale. Match that with your current filter, and you have your shortram.
my 0.2

 

That hole will help keep your car from hydrolocking the next time you drive your little straw through a deep puddle.


In all seriousness: Go with a custom setup. Personally, I used the MAF adapter from my intake, and a piece of the 6" cheap-o intake from Autozone to make a SRI.

As far as the breather tube, I just attached a filter to the valve cover.

I picked up some 3" PVC pipe about a week ago. I'm going to cut it to fit, paint the outside black and mount my MAF directly in the pipe so that the airflow isn't hindered by bumps from where one pipe is connected to another.

 

make your own....... use the same filter if its good... other than that... ebay! unless ur brand crazy

 

just get this welded, or go ghetto jb weld lol

 

well im lookin for the cheap way out, ill probly end up buying a pipe from the zone and reusing the filter.

 

Duct tape FTW!

 

im getting rid of mine soon, ill sell u my berk!!

 

haha i'll take it off your hands

 

I've got a black Injen minus the MAF adapter! $150

 

pic of the temporary remedy...


tibal, how much for the berk?

cmax, thanks but no thanks, i think im gonna leave injen behind me.

 

Berk w/ AEM Dryflow FTW!!!

 

Damn dude, clean up that battery!!!

 

haha, i know, spring cleaning is on the to do list. this is all buildup from the winter.

 

WOW, I was thinking of picking up an Injen intake...Hmm I'm thinking twice now.

Seriously you should send Injen this pic and ask them...WTF!
for the price you paid this is unacceptable.

 

it DOES have about 80K miles on it, but honestly, from my experience, it's not worth the price tag. just stick with a SRI, ive already noticed a snappier throttle from the 1/2 injen setup i'm running temporarily.

 

No...BONDO!

 

Agree Berk with AEM dry flow......I was going to get a short ram from weapon R but something told me don't buy it $150 anyone ever use that brand?

 

I have the GAB mod and love it, but seeing as how you already have the airbox out, I'd go with the Berk intake w/ AEM filter. Looks like the best option for the money... That's what I'd do if I wasn't selling my house (not literally) to buy a full Cattman exhaust system...

 

knight_yyz has custom made sri's that are basically berk replicas, im probly gonna scoop one up off of him. and based on the majority of your opinions on k&n, i think i decided what filter i'll be using. too bad tho, i really like the look of the blue one under my hood...

 

jbweld and will never brake again

 

cut off the brace. it is not needed. i ran for over 50k without one. next jb welb to fix it. next twist it so it doesn't sit behind your rad sucking in hot are but instead behind you foglight getting cool air. also when you twist it the jb weld fix will not be able to be seen.

seriously.

 

Damn, all that road salt really uglies up the engine bay.

 

i already tossed the pipe. the bracket is welded just fine. the tube itself has a nice big hole in it. ive heard sri's are better anyway, so im just chalking this up as a loss.

 

tell me about it... texas must be nice

 

It is. Bottom of my car is pristine.

 

I wish! I don't have too much road salt here, but it snows quite a bit in the winter, so the bottom of my car is definitely not "pristine"

 

damn that sucks..GL
