Question TN-ers, help appreciated

[Trajjik]

Well I have my headers in, my 2.5" exhaust, new flex pipe, hi flo cat...all that good stuff already installed.

To be honest, the last of my cam-shift would be to get a CAI, but I really don't want to. I mean I do, but that's too much money for a little bit of noise. So, do you think I should invest in a K&N Drop in? Is it worth it?

And whats the deal with you guys cutting holes in your airboxes...where, and how about a little procedural information so I can attempt this myself

edit:

I took advice from venom, and now after this last bit of breathing work i'm doing all exterior. Thanks v5

oh, and dont cut a hole in ur airbox ... its just bootleg - if you really want more sound [and a little more air flow], get a cheapo Short-Ram Intake

theyre pretty much just as good as the "expensive" ones ...
http://www.cosmoracing.com/productin...id=126&pid=347
that one is only $53 + S&H

the only issue is some of the cheapo ones may not have the right holes for sensors

[Trajjik]

it's either i get that, or a K&N drop in...hmm..I don't know, more suggestions

[PtBaller]

Which headers did you get?

[Venom_5]

^ if youre looking for some, ive heard you can get MR2 headers for the 5S-FE and custom downpipe ...

but if you have the 1MZ, i have no clue

[Trajjik]

obx

[PtBaller]

I know what options are available in terms of headers for my 1mz I was just wondering what Trajjik had gotten

[bigbird]

in reality u get an intake for sound and looks. on high hp cars it does make gains but not really on ours so a drop in would be just as good, the only reason i even messed with the intake system was to get a CAI, colder air is just better, even if gains are minimal. i also built mine, i wasnt about to spend 250 bucks for somthing i could build for 25 .

[Venom_5]

im gettin my Weapon-R for sound & looks ... i still recommend it as long as you arent expecting HP gains or anything

[felonyr301]

That's all I bought it for too. Like I said before I noticed a difference in sound only when comparing the ebay intake and the weapon r secret weapon intake on the 5sfe and the weapon r looks better. Bling and sound that's all!!

you can get cone filter adapter for ~ $15 w/ shipping

or you can do what this guy did to his stock air box on his maxima

[Trajjik]

hhaaha, that maxima is nuts lol

anyone have kn experience? Any noticable sound difference? Or should I just order that..cosmo racing short ram..

[Venom_5]

K&N does give you a lil more sound, but the stock airbox really limits the sound

you could remove the intake resonator like i did ... that + a K&N filter might give you a sound similar to an SRI

but since an SRI is as cheap as like $40, i would just get one ... the Otto Racing from www.procarparts.com might be better than the Cosmo Racing, i dont kno for sure tho
