Ah, you finally got the K&N I see. What do you think of it so far? Where did you end up getting it from as well?

thanks man! The Trunk that trunk took some time, cutting that carpet was the really annoying part but i love the way it turned out. probably gonna throw some sound activated lights beside the amp to light up the amp compartment. The K&N I bought it from ebay for about $320, I love the change in sound and i have noticed that the truck is a lot more responsive to my heavy foot. also it makes the engine bay look awesome especially with the painted engine cover it was all scratched now it looks fresh again. has anyone else noticed that the canister that is connected to the air intake box doesnt draw any air from outside because it is sealed. well i believe its sealed, and i plan on butchering it for some cold air using a couple of hoses placed behind the grille. has anyone tried this already????

that canister u are talking about does have an opening, facing forwards, like a cold air intake. Although the pathfinder is slightly different from the Q it should be similar.
Yeah u can remove it and run a hose, that would probably be better.

according to the website (www.knfilters.com)
that SRI set up gives you 14.46 HP @ 5918 RPM gains!!!!

i still cant believe how great those fog covers look...it looks better without the fogs than with loli really do hate you man, before you i didnt really care about a system or performance and now im really looking into it. might go with a used sub and amp for starters...evn if it works like crap and blows right away. I gotta pay tuition and insurance and crap so ill get what i can afford lol the pioneer screen is just too sexy. I seen them as low as $400 at future shop...of course without nav id get that then the sub/amp..id the nav to the headunit later. The K&N sounds good but you said fuel economy is worse now? if it sounds and feels better then its probably worth every penny

Im using all stock speakers. except for the obvious 12" kenwoodsI didn't buy a bypass i used instructions from another forum, which told me i only needed to ground 2-wires so i did. the adapter for the steering wheel controls was the Peripheral SWI-PS
just go to this site and enter your vehicle info and it will tell you what to buy from e-bay thats the way i did it. http://www.peripheralelectronics.com/

im only noticing now but when i took this picture i had a 3.5 beside my LE.
 well somehow i lost that AJRK and Qxxx4 as witnesses at the last meet i did not have the 3.5 so the LE looked off and out of place. I removed the LE and this is how it looks now 
i will put pictures of the engine bay up as soon as i get them, i just painted everything that was rusted in the previous picture black, such as the prop and the rad holders.

yeah dude i dunno how your engine bay had those things rusting...mines actually in pretty decent shape under the hood (but yours is way more "slick" with that painted engine cover...freakin 3.3's dont have no cover Lookin forward to seein the blacked out parts man, itll look real new n clean now as for the LE symbol being outtie it looks way better, AJRK has a real keen eye noticing that

I have to post a correction
I posted some misinformation stating that the QX4 has a factory cold air intake
I thought it really did, I even saw the opening from the top and felt it with my hand in the fender
It wasnt until disassembling my front bumper today, that i found that my "factory cold air intake" isn't what i thought it was.... what it was, my stock lower air box simply had a large hole punched in it from my fog light, must have been from one of the many desert racing accidents i've had
Looks like it has potential for a good design but i'm ditching the (broken) air box anyways for a 3" flex tubingsorry for the misinformation.
