Does anyone have a Racingline rear sway bar for sale or know any website that has them in stick?

Also, what is the best intake for the 3.5L? Injen, Fujita, Stillen, AEM?

Thanks.

I'm going to continue to stump for it, but i haven't yet bought it, so take my opinion for what it's worth: the K&N has the best heat shield, 'cause it's a real box around the thing, not just a piece of metal on the engine side.

Does K&N even make one for the 3.5?

The AEM, in my opinion, is the best intake for the 3.5L Altima Coupe. I don't like how you have to bend the wiring harness for the MAF plug with the Injen intake, especially if you're doing a STB - just doesn't seem good for the longevity of the harness. Fujita is nice, but I need to remember the gains looking better for the AEM (AEM and Fujita put out dyno sheets for their intakes for the Altima - you can find them on their respective sites). Stillen isn't really anything special for an intake in my opinion (their intakes for the Zs and Gs, however, kick a lot of a**).

Eh, i'm still a faithful Injen person, I love the way it sounds! Just make sure that the heatshield is tightened on really well otherwise you may get a bit of rattle

Yeah, K&N makes one for the 3.5 - it's $320, though

That's why I don't have it yet.

It blocks off the engine heat better, and it makes use of the stock tubing to the grille. It's that kind of design that wins me over.

Sweet. Might try those sources later this summer, when I've replenished my cashy-monies.

RSB is in it's final stages of production (finally) and will be powered coated later this week. at which point it will take 7 days for us to receive and the a few days to give them the once over and box them all up. I apologize to all for the delay and very much appreciate the patience to all those that have pre-ordered and have been waiting. FYI Anyone currently in que for the back-order who paid via a credit card, you have NOT not been billed for the order.
