K&N Cold Air Intake Kit: High Performance, Guaranteed to Increase Horsepower: 50-State Legal: 2004-2008 Nissan (Maxima, Altima) 3.5L V6, 57-6015

           I recently purchased a K&N cold-air intake for my 2005 3.5l Nissan Maxima.  I have been running (for over 6 years) a (brand removed) cold-air intake but tired of having to remove / re-install the OEM for SMOG inspections.  The K&N is CARB approved and was reasonably priced and was reasonably easy to install.  (I might suggest a common view angle to all pictures taken at the same vantage point in all customer related install papers……it would dramatically lessen having to re-orient for each install particular).            Upon completion of the installation I took the car for a drive……anxious to test the new intake.  To my surprise……the response, acceleration, and shortness to top-end of the range significantly out shined the (brand removed).  After a few days I also note a 2 MPG increase around town and 4 MPG highway.  I can even detect the car’s desire to step into the torque/power band with minimal gas applied to the accelerator…..essentially simple driving and shifting will promote a step into that increased band!  I don’t know if it is the shortness of the tube or the location of the MAF, but whatever it is, I am absolutely impressed.            I’m a 65 year old male and I do not dote on sticking my foot into the accelerator routinely.  I DO however, enjoy quick and lasting response during acceleration.  The K&N has shown itself to be a Star performer.  I can’t thank you enough.  My highest recommend going forward………

Installed on 2007 Maxima... Dramatic change in acceleration and sound. OEM mufflers replaced with [brand] resonators. Sounds exactly like an Infinit G37s now, and just as quick.
