I suppose it should be suspended....but mine is just sitting there....

 

is that due to the design of the intake?

 

yes

 

its easy to get some metal and create your own arm that can prop it up. I did this to my intake. :D that way it won't keep vibrating against the body.

 

its a lot easier to just let it sit there

 

only thing is that it might start eating away at ur chasis...leaving a little rust mark or something. im not 100% sure tho, but i think thats what happened on my maxima. also if its suspended then u maaay get more airflow. probably nothing significant

 

my cars fine bud, thanks for the advice though

 

you just cover the rust mark with the ghetto heat shield, and voila, out of sight out of mind

 

ill just leave it at the fact that i really, really look forward to the day when i pull the motor again, and strip, fill, and paint the whole bay....

so a tiny rust spot doesn't even really bother me at this point....and with the fact that the paint down there is quite thick, i doubt I will even see this rust anytime soon....

 

has anyone managed to fit this setup in without the battery relocation?

if not ill let you know... because i just ordered mine without measuring...

i guess if it doesnt fit ill HAVE to move the battery.

I fit in in there without moving the battery. I will hopefully have pics in a few days when I get ahold of a camera.

 

i just installed this bitch. the sri was a tad too long so i chopped off about 2". its a damn snug fit WITH the battery next to it. woulda had pics... BUT i dont have a camera and my friend's is broken... but for the record.. it DOES fit.


i DID notice a difference in throttle response however i went from a cai with a HELLA DIRTY filter to this...

 

sigh....Ill jump in on this bandwagon too.

course mine will be at the end of a CAI......Ill try to get before n after on a dyno with and without and just the stack....when I come back from teh sandbox

does anyone have his email since my ship has the site a DNS blackhole......stupid .mil servers

 

ha, look what i started

 

sigh Blake.......you and your habits push me further and further with me car.

now...said email addy please? You cant be the only 5th gen SMR lude with the BPi stack

 

le sigh.......that and the filter.....100 ish

Blake you better be right...lol

if not Im only out some cash and still have an intake pipe to put back on the car

 

mines not SMR

 

Malano....SMR.....its fuggin red

or do you mean Flordia Fad3 Red? your a pinker car?!?!?!?!

 

honestly, i have no idea what red my car is. its darker than all the other lude reds



i wish my car still looked that good

 

maybe if you werent worried about being ohsogofast.....you could be that pretty

looks Milano Red (it was the darker)
SMR is the lighter that turns pink faster if not taken care of

 

the car has been repainted before by a shop that was completely retarded.

ok a little offtopic now.

 

For clarity's sake, i want to point out that a longer pipe will still make more power with the stack on. You're not hurting your cai by trying to get this thing in there, you are probly making a better intake than what most of us have with the shortram w/stack. Now, there is something to be said about that bend that goes into the fender, like matt pointed out, and also remember that there is an optimal intake pipe length for different motors, so, it would obviously be best to find that optimal length by adding/taking away length from the bottom of your cai with the stack on the end, but obviously we don't all have full access to dick around time on the dyno, so I would just say, there is no detrimental effect to putting the stack on the end of a cai.

Sorry if some of that sounds like rambling, my brain is a bit mushy from classes today.

 

yea werd juan...and heres all i have to say..
#1. move your damn battery if you have a problem about your "paint"
#2. dont get on this forum so you can bitch that you ACTUALLY HAD TO DO SOME PHYSICAL WORK on your car
#3. grow a dick

did I miss something?

Who is bitching? I was joking around with Blake. If this in reference to me
