Intake: What are my options?

[Riceball88]

Hey guys I'm looking to purchase an intake for my 09 Versa and I'm wondering what you guys have on your cars? I wouldn't mind going with cold air but will I have to take it off when it rains or snows? If so I'll probably go with short ram.

And how about the legality of it? Do some of them come with stickers showing they're legal? Just in case I get pulled over haha. Thanks.

I've sold a few of the CAI to people in Canada and have not heard of any problems....I'm sure they can chime in here and tell us if all is well.

None that I know of right now has the sticker you refer to but I've been stopped a few times and they have checked my engine compartment and they have never said anything.....and this is California and they can be tough on these kinds of things.

If you decide to get a full CAI I've got a killer price on Fujita right now....just this side of stealing one!!!

i got the stillen cold air, no problems with it since, as far as rain, well here where i live i havent got any rain. and i hope there isnt any issues with rain ahah and as far as performance, u will notice a difference after the install.

good luck

[blindsnyper]

you should have no problem with rain. unless you drive through a flood and completely submerge the filter, and if you are worried about that then you can also get an aem bypass valve...http://www.t7performance.com/s...d=135

also there is no short ram intake available

[Johniboi]

I see you live in rockville, i live pretty close to their .

I got the aem intake and so far ive had no problem with it...

I bought the Fujita recently, but had put off installation and was thinking about waiting until next may when it will be a bit dryer. In CNY it rains almost everyday and the winters are wet sloppy mess, so I was concerned with the wetness as well. Even though I have been reassured a thousand times, it would be just as my luck goes.

As far as this bypass valve, it says it goes on the upper portion of the inlet pipe. Anyway have an pictures of this or can vouch for it's performance. Does it shut the engine off air flow when it gets wet? Or does it somehow filter out the water? thanks

[biggie]

You will not hurt your engine unless you run into a puddle that is as deep as the fiilter sits (bascially you car would be floating probably).

[Riceball88]

Thanks for the info guys, I ended up buying a Fujita CAI from versaspeed! Can't wait to get this thing installed!

You'll be happy, trust me. The sound it makes when you get on it is awesome.

finally.. another person from MD... im up in Bel Air... I just got the Fujita on... the install wasnt too bad... and there arent any legality issus... plus it makes the car sound BA.. water isnt a problem unless you drive through a big puddle and submerge the filter, but the location its at, if you submerge it, you have other problems too.

[Johniboi]

yo dude you go to school or something??? Lets meet up

[Riceball88]

Yea dude I go to UMD at College Park. As a matter of fact I just joined this club called College Park Tuning so I'm looking forward to those meets. But yea dude we should definitely meet up.

[xtwoonamatchx]

im at harford community college now... i was supposed to go to UMD:CP but its just too damn expensive =\ ill probably wind up at towson or salibury

[Johniboi]

Aww man im at Montgomery college in rockville.

DUDE you gotta let me know when those meets happens.. i bet you we'll be the only versa's up there lol...

[xtwoonamatchx]

you 2 have aim? hit me up at xtwoonamatchx... id like to try and do a MD meet like johniboi tried to do a while ago

[Johniboi]

BET!

i failed though good luck to you my friend lol...

[Riceball88]

Yea I'll definitely let you know when the meets happen. We can represent for Versa's around the globe! Buy hey, xtwoonamatchx, did you jack up your car and take off the tire to install the intake?

[xtwoonamatchx]

yeah i did... tey tell you to remove the entire bumper, but i just went through the wheel well...

[Shad0wXCalibur]

I just bought the Fujita for it's $150 sale price. I didn't really wanna pay $240 at the moment but couldn't pass that price up. I'll try the wheel well, too. No point in going through all that trouble to take off a bumper if you don't have to.

[xtwoonamatchx]

yeah.. if you get the liner off you should be good... the PITA part is the filter... other than that it should be good.

[Johniboi]

I dont have aim..barely have time for it. But we should DEFINITLY do a meet up or organize our own crew? Perhaps the 3 of us and we can take some nice pics together...and we can organize a "cooler" crew then the so-cal crew:bigthumb (No disrespect lol)

Hey riceball, jus wondering if you ever go down to rockville pike to cicis or starbucks??

[Riceball88]

I've heard about the Cici's meets but I haven't been down there, I actually just moved here a few months ago from Socal.

We should definitely do a photoshoot though, I have an SLR camera with tripod so we just need to find a nice spot .

[Johniboi]

[Johniboi]

NIIICE!! lol..

what mods you planning on doin???

[Riceball88]

I wanna get a set of really nice 17" wheels and drop it on some Tanabe springs. I haven't made up my mind on the wheels yet. I'll also do audio pretty soon and pick up a Pioneer HU along with a sub and amp.

Down the road I'd like to pick up some kind of exhaust, and maybe a wing and lip kit. I have to do something with the grill though, I don't like the stock one haha. So far I like the Impul one so I might go with that.

What about you guys, what mods have you done or are planning to do?

[Johniboi]
