Opinion wanted,

I just installed a Nismo intake over the weekend and I was debating if i should leave the stock air scoop in place to feed cold air to the intake. will this help supply cold air flow to the intake?

I would leave in in place..at a stand still it will suck up air from the engine compartment but as you travel, it will help focus air onto the filter.

Thanks. That was what i thought but i didn't know for sure if that air scoop would act as a ram to supply air to the filter.....

Now i just need to get rid of the resonator on the intake.

You can order the mid pipe from Frankencar I believe.

Hell might as well be....It will probably be made by some company that just put's Nismo's name on it...just like Stillen

The parts guy that sold it to me says it is Nismo and that it is made by K&N from Nissan specs. So if its not Nismo its still Nissan.
The box that it came in has a Nissan Genuine parts stickers and part #. As long as its a Nissan part im happy bcuse i won't get crap if i need to get it serviced for intake problems. I got this from Legend Nissan and not from ebay or mail order so till its proven other wise i call it Nismo.

It is a part from Nissan Motorsports USA, that is not a Nismo part. The Nismo part will be a CAI when its released in a few months.

So Nissan Motorsports USA is not Nismo?
So then i guess what Nissan Motorsports Japan is Nismo?

Bare with me this is muh first Nissan so i don't know to much about it yet. Like i said as long as its a Nissan part im happy because it covers my ass if i need maf sensor work done.

So does that mean i won't get the extra 5-10 hp gain because its not a Nismo intake....... j/k

ALTYHOLIC

LOL!!!

I use to have that same set up before I upgraded to this:
http://www.nissanforums.com/showthre...?threadid=8435

NPM gave the Pop-Charger about a +7 hp gain on the dyno.
My Injen's at +13 hp.

psychomark

yea i remember seeing that on the forum
So you like the cai better than the wai. as for me right now i'll stick to wai cuse im still new to intakes and still afraid of cai and water. at least with wai its located high above the engine compartment.

ALTYHOLIC

Oh yes, very pleased!
The CAI minimizes the 3.5's throttle "hesitation"
considerably as well as "gives back" the small
amount of low end torque I lost when I installed
my cat-back. Injen rates the CAI tq. @ +11 ft. llbs.
