Installed Injen intake & HID

[alphapig]

Called in sick today to get my mods finally installed...

Here's the Injen intake from: http://www.stillen.com/product...LTIMA

Fits very snug in the 2.5... not much room for anything!



Doesn't seem to vibrate hard enough to hit anything yet...



Also installed 6K HID headlight from XenonEyes. Decent product, for only $155 shipped. The only problem is that the instructions that accompanied it are awful and written in some kind of Chinglish. Bumper had to come off of course...



6K's look good!



Let me know what you guys think!

Looks sweet!

Enjoy the intake!

So give me some details, this is basically the EXACT mods I plan on in the next few weeks. How do you like them!?

You have the 2.5, so do I. How does it sound? I want it soooo bad, but I really don't want to blow my extended warranty I bought on top of everything. I lose that, I also lose my service plan I purchased.

am I the only one getting a black heat shield when I bought a polished intake? no biggie but I just wanted it to be shiny

[SHIFT_COUPE]

I have the black Injen and I got a polished heat shield. Go figure. Trade ya?

[alphapig]

Bought the extra warranty, huh desantim?

The intake sounds great actually. Around 2.5-4k RPM it really shines. But it's nothing too obnoxious or ricey... I would highly recommend it. Took less than half an hour to install!

As for the HID lights... I'de say spend more money than me and get a better brand haha. I'm sure there's a pile of content on the subject, just use search

Good luck modding!

"Bumper had to come off of course..."

FYI, the bumper didn't have to come off... there's a thread on how to do the install through the wheel well!

[alphapig]

Yeah I saw that.... But didn't the wheel have to come off?

I really didn't want to have to jack the car up... I have a feeble little thing that couldn't hold up a Geo Metro

[Shift_Perfection]

alpha.. ur car has cvt rite?

[alphapig]

Yep, it's auto CVT.

Does that matter as far as intakes go?

[jak0]

Do intakes really void the extended warranty? because if that is the case,, i will have to take mine out too

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Does that matter as far as intakes go?

Doesn't matter one bit.

[alphapig]

jak0,

Well if there's a problem with you car and the warranty covers it... Take off the Injen, plug in the old clunky thing, and pretend like nothing ever happened?

i thought the intake wont fit a 2.5 6my

[rjdmmfl1]

Doesn't matter one bit.

Tyler, I'm almost positive I read that the injen intake doesn't fir the 2.5 6MT

[SHIFT_COUPE]

haha yesss your both right. I thought his original question was on the general response of the intake to the CVT or MT. I blame lack of sleep

[AltimaOnDubz07]

Good job, it looks tight

[audtatious]

No. Aftermarket intakes do not void the warranty. The only time Nissan can say anything about warranty is if the aftermarket part itself caused a mechanical problem. About the only thing they could "void" replacing under warranty would be if you had MAF problems after the install.

Hell, one of my local Nissan dealerships replaced a blown factory strut (under warranty) 6-months AFTER I installed my Eibach springs.

Looks good! The INJEN and HID's were the first mods I did, after my wheels that is

[audtatious]

Interesting what order people did what. I did my springs, RSB and FSTB first (in that order).

[mikemart]

Alphapig,You didn't happen to come across any fog light harnesses while you had your bumper off did you??

[SHIFT_COUPE]

Interesting what order people did what. I did my springs, RSB and FSTB first (in that order).

Probably because the Max had several more mods readily available. Unlike the Alty Coupe at the moment

[audtatious]

More like the Maxima NEEDED suspension mods first

Damn thing was a floaty biach when I first got it.

The Alty needs some suspension work too. Not so much for the ride, but to get rid of that FUGLY fender gap up front

[audtatious]

The problem with the Alty and Maxima is that the front fender has a higher arch than the rear, thus while the car may even have a "rake" to the front it always looks like the rear is lower.

Eric,I just ordered a McCulloch 6k HID kit. As soon as it shows up and as soon as the weather warms a little I'll install them. I will definitely have the lap top out in the garage with me...thanks to your awesome how-to!

[D-Roll]

Looks real good mang! Gotta love the HID's

[alphapig]

Yeah, 6k's are BRIGHT!

Had two people flash their brights at me... and I've only had them for two nights!
