$317 for a filter on a stick? Really? I use to have an HKS intake for my Maxima. It was the same basic setup as linked above. I paid $175 for that intake 7 years ago. Why in the world do these companies think they can charge such crazy prices. It's a filter on a stick. That's it. You also have to change out the filter element every 15K miles or so at $40 a pop.

As for the "heat shield", metal heat shields are a farse when it comes to intakes. The metal shield will heat up due to the radient and under hood heat. A true heat shield is made to protect compontents from being burning/fatigued by high temps. Having a shield around an intake will do nothing in terms of keep in the intake air cooler. It's such a waste. These companies prey on people's ignorance and as you can tell, it pisses me off.

I won't install an intake again. The power gains are minimal. As DaveB mentioned replacing the filter is expensive and cleaning it is a PITA and can be risky to the MAF. I like having a 7 buck replaceable air filter. I rather do other mods, like plenum or exhaust.

I have HKS racing suction intake on my coupe. It fits like glove plus i love the way it sound. Definetly a noticiable performance gain.

Foam = the worst filtering performance. Might was well not even use a filter.

The Stillen and JWT intake will work as good or better than the HKS for less money.

As for the dif cooler I was thinking about one but it is a lot of work to install. Maybe the next time I have an afternoon and need to change the fluid I'll get one.

yeah f*ckin right. That place is a joke. Charging $45 for shipping...i thought people only mark up with shipping on ebay, not an online retail store! I guesss I was wrong. Where are they selling from, Hawaii? Chad is still #1.
