First off, this cost me $289CDN and the guy at Nissan ordered for me and gave me a deal. I know, some of you may say get Injen for cheaper or whatever but honestly, I cannot find it. Being in Canada, I would have to contend with shipping, duties and taxes (if I were to do it the right and simple way).
Installed the kit in about 30-45min. Took a little longer because (#1) was suppose to remove a bolt from the throttle body to install a bracket to hold the intake tube. This was a b***h to remove and ended up skipping this step. (#2) was not familiar with my car yet so took it slowly. -- BTW, the bracket I skipped is no big deal. Everything was in place firmly without this bracket.
Results? Definitely sounds good at any speed and rpm but especially uphill streets and beyond 3000rpm. Power increase? Can't tell but I'd like to think so because technically, there is an increase. Whether it be the 9HP that K&N advertises or a lot less, there should be some improvement. I understand that the car needs a little time to adjust to this mod so I will see what happens in a week. If there is something significant to write about, I'll update this post.
One more thing: I like the fact that K&N tries to utilize the oem air ducts and that it comes with a heat shield. Also will help with water splashing from underneath. After all, I am on the Canadian west coast where it always rains.
Thanks for reading!
