does the intake still run across the radiator or does it run srtaight out to the left of the engine compartment?? i would like one of the last type.

it just bolts to your stock MAF sensor man, its not fancy, I made it to allow for a turbo upgrade later.

ceptos: no, you cant. the apex-I cone does not have a nissan MAF bolt pattern on it, so you have to makea cusotm adapter for it, apex-i does, however make an intake for the s14's..

heh, the cone filters dont bolt onto anything, unless apex is different than other filters, you should be able to pair the adapter with any filter.

OK, number A. it does bolt on. hence why I said, its got BOLT patterns.....hence why I had to make the adapter...

christ man, do you really think im that dumb?

-chetgoto the apex-I website, its got bolt holes on the back, you can see them.

just trying to point out that you could have bought another just as good or better filter than apex and buy an adapter premade, sorry.

wonder why noone else wants one?

I like apex stuff....so that was just a personal preference...

oh well.-chet

Yeah, I bought one of those "adaptor kits" off of ebay for an S14, and the bolt pattern didn't come CLOSE to fitting the MAF! Luckily i have a metal grinder/good drill press...

what i did was get a grinder/cutter and cut out the stock air box, and cut out the plate that has the bolt holes that go to the maf. I kept on the little metal piece that flares out, but what you do is get a grinder and cut notches in the flared out part about every 3/16" or wider, and about 1/2" deep. then get a small hammer and tap in the flares toward the middle of the thing until you can get a silicone adaptor or maybe just your cone filter around it, and then once you have that around it, get the small hammer and bang the flares out so that it holds the silicone on. i'll take pics if you email me cause i can't host them.
