Hey everybody,

As many of you know I installed the Stillen axle back exhaust system and the AEM intake. To be honest I was not that satisfied with the gains (keeping in mind that this is still an econo-car). My friends later told me that the car is now running rich due to the parts and probably is not using them to their full potential. I then went ahead and ordered the Apexi AFC NEO. Sadly the garage had to order a tool to take off the air flow sensor in the engine bay (weird offset wrench looking thing), thus no DYNO of the car and no added HP. As soon as I go back I will post the dyno results and comments.

Besides that here are some pics of the NEO in digital monitor mode with the orange to match my V's console.

Enjoy, http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2603189

I have been away from the forum for some time but I must say WOW, you guys are fast on replying. More people are getting on the board which is good.

For MIdnkight-lude - Thanks for the comments and seriously the springs rock the house.

For remiasz - I am not a mechanic and definitely not somebody that can read circuit boards from the service manual. I had it installed by a garage a half hour away. It took 2 hours or so. The NEO was ordered off eBay for around 250. And as for the skirts, they were painted by Nissan when they were fixing my busted up car due to an accident. I am going to be going back to get the car tuned there. 550 around for painting the front and back lips as well as the OEM skirts. Installed and everything.

I seriously doubt that the CAI did anything to substantial to your air fuel ratio that you need a computer. The factory computer will add or take away fuel based on it's reading. If it's running rich or lean, than it's due to the programming not the CAI. Don't waste your money on a computer just yet. Plus an axle back exhaust will do next to nothing for performance.

for some ppl it a bump of one or two mpg, and even 5 hp. plus it leave you the option to retune if you add more parts. But most ppl dont have the money to keep retuning, so it more of one of the last things to do.
