Intake Q?

[pathfinder01]

Is it worht it to install an intake system for my Pathfinder? I'm not sure about their claim i.e. 14 whp gain and 4% increase in fuel economy.

14 whp? No way. More like 5-8 crank hp. 4% increase in economy? Possibly. Say you get 16 mpg currently, a 4% increase would bump you to 16.64 mpg, a reasonable expectation. I saw about a .5 to 1 mpg increase with my "custom" intake, so I would beleive that claim.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll just make my own custom made cold air intake. Since the stocker has a pipe that goes under the fender, this can be already a cold air intake and add a K&N filter. I just need to modify the lower part of it right? Any suggestions on this idea!

I installed the Frankencar intake with the Apexi filter. My gas mileage is up to 17.5mpg around town and performance is noticelby improved.

check this out. This is what a couple members on here have done. i did it myself this fall, in my school parking lot. Pretty simple upgrade and the power is noticable especially at the higher RPMs.

Yeah, I just cleaned my JWT filter last week for the first time. Lots of crud and dirt in there. Then I created a heatshield for it using some materials laying around. So only air being directed in from the fender is used. Works great!

I have been thinking ofbuying the JWT pop charger, do you guys think its worth the money?
