Just had it done by Lokey and I am very happy with the mod. I don't have a pre-dyno to tell you what it gave me but, if you do a search, you should be able to get some good guidance.

No downside that I have seen. Go for it!

The Crawford Plenum is a good mod. I would recommend getting a Z-Tube to go along with the plenum. Talk to John I think he may be selling them to.

i would do the plenum & intake at the same time since they're related, so you'll notice the gain a lil more, than if you did them separate. i have a UT CF intake and crawfords plenum, luv the sound, and the lil extra power. exhaust and cats are next for me.

Install on both is easy, are you planning on do in it yourself???

Also, you've basically got to remove 1/2 of the z-tube when you do the plenum install so why not remove the whole thing and take another 2 minutes and reinstall the new z-tube.

IMO, I'd stick w/ the plastic OEM z-tube. The CF ones are quieter, more expensive, and could have problems like the "dipped" aluminum z-tubes in the future. Those stock plastic ones are pretty well designed, which is one of the reasons why Nissan uses them.

Neffster put mine on in about an hour. Thanks again.

Check out the DIY from crawfordz.com for instructions. You can probably do it yourself - just need to double check that you've hooked up all your hoses back up. I guess the 05 is alittle different than 04 in that I didn't have to relocate the wire loom.

No, it does not void any warranties (lokey installs them so warranty should be ok), but it wouldn't hurt to double-check.

you dont have to worry bout any problems w/ the CF ztube, its only the aluminum ones that had the chipping problem, mine still looks like new inside and out. but they're quiter.
install is easy, took me almost 3 hours, but only cause half way thru the install i found out my allen wrench was to short, so i had to drive around for an hour and a half looking for a longer allen wrench, which i found after going to four different stores

I still don't see how that intake is beneficial, there's barely any room for air to go in... I dunno, just from the way it looks i dont see it helping any.

Austin-I didn't think it was going to give me any power just sound until I dyno'd. It gave me 6hp.
