ur kidding? you mean CAI right? Cold Air Intake? And that is a cheap price....cheapest of all i've seen....but i wouldn't touch that particular one with a 10' pole.

if you don't want to buy a CAI, you can fab your own following Skarbro's thread.

I think he accurately described it as a WAI... Warm Air Intake. LOL

Definitely pointless since you will lose power. Go for SSG's Fujita F5 group buy.

[SilentJay]

Yeah, I meant WAI. That said, I was trying to find alternatives to CAI - fears of hydrolock and whatnot.

Cosmo Racing makes okay intakes.

That's just the short ram version.

Maybe i've fallen off the modding-boat, but I remember getting my CAI that converted into a short-ram from Injen for $150 for my old altima. Why is this so expensive, and anyone know of any cheaper alternatives?

I have the Cosmo intake.. been using it for quite some time.. love the noise! I feel a bit of pull in 2nd and more than before in 3rd

[doughboyr6]

ive put on at least 5000kms since installed, no problems....i've driven in rain also...its my daily driver.

Ive had a cosmo SRI before in my integra. The quality is ok. Their prices are typically under $100 but since they are in montreal you'll have to pay for shipping. Why don't you check out Pmall? Maybe they have SRI's for our cars.

Took a quick look around Pmall, didn't really see anything. I'll have another look tomorrow.
