Im about to order the injen intake sp1977 for the Altima 2007 (Its listed as that).

I just want to clarify that this product WILL work on the 08 coupe righttt? Thats what you guys have on yours, righttt?

Also, im getting qouted 280 US for intake + shipping to Canada from this ebay guy, how much did you guys pay and where did you buy from?( Stillen will not lower their price for me.. dont know why.. maybe cuz im canadian.. eh.)

yes it will fit the 08 coupe perfectly. u should try doing a search, theres already been numerous intake threads where all your questions have been answered. but yeah thats the avg price for the injen, cardomain.com had a blowout sale for $190 plus shipping but they are all out of stock now

Your car is the 3.5 right? The sedan and coupe all have the same engine layout.

yup it'l fit, but don't expect anything great but it does make the car sound better...I am holding off on performance mods as I never do an intake without an exhaust...

eh its true you wont notice any hp/tq gains but you will def. notice a meaner, aggressive sound especially in the higher rpms, and increased throttle response

Most of those intakes arn't even "COLD AIR", if that it was the case it would be sticking out of the engine compartment. If you want a REAL cold air intake. get a custom fabricated one with "Ceramic coating", which is what Race cars use.

LOL i saw that site and it says 13 HP gain, that's a good one. Most intakes if you stick on a Dyno you will see a gain of 1-3 hp at the wheels.

I know the performance aspect of the intake won't be much. I love the way the injen intake sounds.... So i found these 2 sites and I'm just trying to make sure if they were the same thing [URL][http://www.hopupracing.com/inspshraminn.html/URL]http://www.stillen.com/product...ology

Look to be the same. Just make sure you order the SP1977, thats all.

Yes, you are so right! Pretty funny what these manufacturers claim, huh? I guess they dyno with the hood up in an air conditioned room with 3 industrial fans blowing on the motor. The majority of us here, with the exception of 2 people, know these claims are exagerated. The other 2 guys swear that installing an intake will give the 12HP at the wheels!! Pretty funny that some would actually believe those claims

This is why I'm glad I have had dyno experience.
