So after I installed my Injen CAI I recieved today (which was a complete *****to install), I had to take the bumper off & the tire well things, damn there were like 35 screws & bolts.... But anyway, after test driving her for about an hour, I was tempted to redline my baby (Listening to the air shoot into the CAI)... So I slowed down on my road to a stop, floored it, redlined 1st & 2nd.. then I let off because I was absolutly flying down my road.... cops tend to hide in the woods so I didnt want to chance it anymore.
I heard a roar like I've never heard before & damn the torque was awesome....
btw- Not saying the CAI had anything to do with it, no clue if it helps the car or not, couldnt really tell, but I love the sound

Hmmm; I redlined my Z about 10 times this morning, and I guess off the top of my head, every day since I bought it two years ago, at last 3 times a day.
Come to think of it, I redlined my VG30E SOHC MAXIMA most of it's natural life past 200Kmi, with out a leak or any mechanical failure at all. the new owner rips it too, and now it has 260KMI with out any leaks!!!
Come to think of it, I redline every car I've ever owned almost two to three times a day, and, WOW; no mechanical failures at all.
Do we see a trend?

There was a post a while back w/ people telling me to redline my car, had many posters, so this was just letting those ppl know I did it. I wasnt trying to sound like big **** or anything... lol
I had to take my 2 front tires off, inner tire wells, front lip thing, random plastic parts behind the tire wells, .. took the bumper off & then had to unbolt the factory intake, cut the zip cords around things connecting it.. but the worst part was putting the intake IN, it wasnt bad unteal I got to the partr where I put the black extender tube on that goes behind the bumper, everything was such a tight fit & sliding the black hose to the chrome intake tube was pure hell, I had to litteraly strain my nuts off to put it on there, I guess it was like that because at the other end of the black tube, it was pretty snug in the factory air duct tube spot... finally did it though, hoping I put the tube on there high enough to stay on.
Had about 3 screws/bolts left after the job
My ***** gonna fall off going down the road, haha
Everything sounded good though, I just need to clean my engine bay now, it was a pretty dirty job...
