K&N needs 3.5s

[Importroller]

Just an FYI for those who dont know. K/N had my car prototyping their new intake for the 07+ 3.5s. after the prototype is complete, they may need 2 more cars to test the power gains on for a comparison. But since the CVT transmission is so hard to dyno, they will most likely want a car with a manual transmission. They are located in Riverside, CA so take that in mind on your drive. It will be about 2 months from now that the piece will be complete.

They will need at least 2 CVT 3.5s, and 2 other Manual 3.5s to test out fitment and power gains. those who participate will get a free intake out of the deal, and a rental car for the 3-5 days they will have your car. They are planning that within the next 1-2 months they will start the testing. Its first come, first serve. your car has to be as STOCK as possible. No exhaust (axle back is ok since they only add sound, not power), no power adders at all so they can have a good comparison for power gains. They are fully aware the CVT maybe a problem to dyno, but they still want it for testing.

Contact: Reayna at 951-826-4000 ext 4458Let her know Shawn referred you for the intake testing.

I would be all over this if I didn't live in canada.

[Sith LL_Coupe]

I would too if I wasn't in NY. This is the Intake I've been holding out for... I'm sure people will jump all over this though, K&N is the best!

[nismofool]

called Reayna yesterday, and got my call back today. I'll be dropping my car off sometime this week. Thanks Shawn for the heads up!

[Infantry1327]

damn that sucks, I called her yesterday morning as well and left a message but she never called me back. O well

Good luck and post some pics up when you get it back

Nismo, is yours CVT or MT?

[Importroller]

call her again if you are really interested in doing it. She is a very busy woman. Its hard for me to reach her half the time, especially on mondays

No Problem Mon!

[phobs]

Yeah i called too yesterday left a message but she didnt get back. I'll again tomorrow, hope they are interested in an 09.

[jmack]

Please keep us informed of the progress. I'd would very much like to install the k&n system. Cant wait till it's avaliable.

[nismofool]

You wont be able to get a hold of Ryeana, she's away for a few weeks on vacation. Ask the operator to transfer you to Kirk I believe. Dropping my car off today at 1pm, and they'll hold onto the altima for about a week.

oh and i'm cvt

[Infantry1327]

Then I am not going to even try, because we have the same car.

[nismofool]

Shawn said atleast "2" 3.5 CVTs, still worth a shot, give em a call bro.

[Infantry1327]

Ok I just left like 6 messages for different people there lol

[Infantry1327]

I just got ahold of kirk and he is going to talk to Reayna about scheduling me in to get the intake. Thanks Shawn

[phobs]

Congrats! Just talked to Kirk and added me on the list too. Thanks, Importroller and Nismofool for the heads up.

[Infantry1327]

congrats to you as well. Now lets just hope Reayna calls us back soon so we can schedule to get these bad boys put in.

[lilojoj]

oh man. im way too late now

[Infantry1327]

give them a call, I thought I was to late and now I have a good possibility of getting this done. It can't hurt to call. All of us so far have CVT's so they probably want some 6 speeds so they can get a more accurate dyno reading.

[phobs]

I have a manual, but still call and see.

[Infantry1327]

oops sorry, well then there are 2 cvt's and 1 6er. so they will probably want another 6er. Just keep calling untill they put you threw to someone. Otherwise they will just keep transfering you to voicmails and you will never get a call back. I left like 6 messages before I talked to Kirk.

[phobs]

Or as nismofool said, just call and ask the operator to transfer you to Kirk is what I did

[Infantry1327]

yea thats what I did as well. But they transfered me to a few differnt people first.

[phobs]

ohhh hahah that's probably why it was so easy for me. At first they were "hmm Kirk..??" and then I got transferred to him right away.

[Infantry1327]

Reayna called me today and I will be dropping my car off on monday morning for them to start prototyping. She said they will need my car for 5 days.

[Importroller]

Glad I could help. I cant wait for this to be done. the sooner they have their test cars in, the sooner the finished product will be available. They originally were just gonna use cars from the dealer, but I told her I could get cars that were owned already that can get the info out much better than a dealer, so please...MAKE good use out of it

[Infantry1327]

the day I get this, there will be posts and pics everywhere. lol

About 3 or 4 years ago I supplied my truck (01 Ranger) to K&N for a prototype 77 series intake. After all of the test fitting and dynoing they gave me a call about a month later to tell me they were done and I could come by to pick up my free intake.

Awesome experience with an awesome company.

[Importroller]

**update**

dropped car off this morning. the first production piece is complete, and they are doing testing over the next couple of days. I should have dyno info and pics for you guys by thurs or Friday. Hopefully they will also have pricing info I can relay over

[alt.coupe28]

yess! getting closer and closer. i've been waiting on this intake.

[BlackMamba08]

they've finally found some time for this huh...that's always good news...i've been waiting for this...
