I'm getting a intake too make my Silverado faster and a dual pipe flowmaster because soon I'm getting lift kit and it's gonna reduce speed I don't want that so I'm increasing speeds
@@asphaltrequired3708 I recently bought AEM intake for 2016 sentra SL ... NO GO ugh seems the placement of the filter is no good and dirt, moisture gets in and sets off mass flow sensor. I had to swap the stock back smh... With this 69 typhoon series do u recommend it WITHOUT setting the sensor?? It sounded great on this video. I also have a MagnaFlow resonator straight pipe on it now. So I want complete it with a sweet intake. Please let me know, since it's been 5yrs can u say it never gave u any issues???
I just put one in my 8th gen civic SI. That thing is amazing. The increased pedal response and deeper engine sound is no joke. Way louder than I expected. Was very easy to install.
Your smile sez it all! I installed a Amazon no name CAI on my 2009 Challenger 3.5 V6, 2 weeks ago. Got better throttle response, but the sound makes my 63 year old body happy!
That smile on your face once you hear your car I bet you enjoy your car . 👍 I have had many many maximal for personal and for resale purpose as I am a dealer and finally building 2013 maxima and trying to do little upgrades hope all is well with you
I'm just worried about the mass air flow having problems from the oil in the filter. I have an 09 SV. I guess I could just keep it clean, the sensor. I just hate messing with those things. I've had this filter in my shopping cart for days now. Struggling with the submit button
I have a Nissan Sentra SR CVT with a K & N CAI Typhoon 6969 high performance for 2 years now running without any issue (no engine light) you can feel the power when you push 3500 rpm or higher & it revs quick when you push hard with shell v-power nitro-plus! When you push the pedal very hard you get a worse gas mileage (thirsty) but you save gas as a daily driver! Its a good product & best buck for the money!!! Its sounds the same with AR with a stock exhaust!! Its gives freaking smile on my face every time I press hard on the pedal!! I was convinced with this guy AR when I watch his VIDEO!!
I'm on the fence about putting one of these on my 2011 Maxima SV. I hear good and bad things about it. This video swings me more in the positive. Any more comments/advice about it?
+Hung Over I'd be interested to know what bad things you hear about it. Are you on the fence about installing a cold air intake or about the K&N brand? As far as the cold air intake, it's inexpensive, easy to install (with some mechanical common sense), and doesn't add much power but makes driving your car a lot more enjoyable. Let me know what you're worried about and maybe I can clear up some things from my experiences with it.
AsphaltRequired No, it wasnt the K&N brand. That's the one I wanted. I havent found them online for less than $300. Racingline.com has them for $270, but some guys in the Maxima forum said it would prob take 3-5 months to get the intake from there. How much did you pay if you dont mind? There are youtube videos disparaging the CAI saying it actually decreases HP. I dont really believe that, because if it were disproved beyond a doubt, that would have class action against K&N for false claims all over it. I saw some videos on installation. Seems simple enough. Ratchets and allen wrenches right? Got to be super careful with that MAF sensor though. I've bought the K&N box filter for 3 of my last cars and I really like those, but I'm looking for more. I really dig the sound you got. You have 2014SV?
+Hung Over I got mine from the K&N website for $304 and it took about a week if not less for it to arrive. The fact that it decreases HP is not true. It maaayyy be true for older cars that require a tune if you change the CAI but our car has a smart ECU which means that it will automatically adjust to the increased air flow (Was told that by both K&N and by Stillen). Just disconnect the battery while your installing to reset it and it will self adjust while you're driving. The website says that your car should get 13.25 HP increase at 5246 RPM, just like mine (Yes I have the 2014 maxima, same generation as yours). You won't really feel the power increase too much but you will definitely hear it and it will make driving your car a lot more enjoyable if you like a nice deep throaty sound. The installation is really simple and is all just bolt on. Check out my installation video for the tools you'll need and the process (one thing to make sure you have is a pretty long ratchet extension). ua-cam.com/video/qRdT2VvgyYc/v-deo.html
AsphaltRequired And I do like the throaty sound. So you cant tell any difference in performance other than the sound? Thanks for the advice. I'll check out your vids. Have you thought about a Y-pipe or an exhaust upgrade. I have considered that too, but I dont like that "riced out" sound you know. I like the subtle throaty sound from the intake, but I'm scared that an upgraded exhaust will give me too much noise that I dont want. Its not a Mustang ya know...dont want to be loud like a Flowmaster or something. I asked around if you can have an upgraded exhaust without changing the sound much if at all, and nobody has been able to give me an answer on that
+Hung Over You can notice a small performance upgrade when your driving above 5000 rpms but not too much. You won't get huge power gains for $300...I really want to get a cat back exhaust as well. Through all my research, I would strongly recommend the Stillen cat back exhaust. It's probably the best exhaust you can get with the most power output for your maxima. It also doesn't sound like a ricer at all, it has a very nice sound to it ua-cam.com/video/6EX3qzx9POw/v-deo.html . If you have some money to spend though, I would get the motordyne cat back with an Art Y-pipe ua-cam.com/video/CAEncCic-uA/v-deo.html . It sounds reeeaalllly nice, buuut it does make it sound more like a mustang, but I like that in my opinion.
Good video,and thanks for taking the time to demonstrate the sound under acceleration.k just had the dealership install this new clutch pack that also seems to have corrected that shudder issue some folks have been having and now the car seems to drive perfectly.and there was an increase in fuel economy too.this is something that anykne who has a focus and whos having that shudder issue should look into,for me it has made the car one sweet machine.
I got a 2018 chevy 1500 with this intake,, ive driving for 500 miles and i already heat a knoking noise under my truck. Like and old house clock ticking
Would love to know which one you got cause k&n for my car is more expensive than all I’ve seen it’s ridiculous price but I did order it how much was yours?
Hey buddy, love the review. Followed your video to install on my Maxima as well. What would you recommend for custom exhaust options? I'm considering my next mod
+Achilles Hey thanks!! I hope the install video helped out. I've been looking into getting an exhaust system as well but just don't have a grand laying around to drop into my car right now...But I would recommend two options for you as far as an exhaust system for your maxima (although I don't know which gen maxima you have). But I would get a Stillen cat back exhaust. That will run you $840 off the Stillen website and give you the most power output for your maxima. Here is a sound clip of it ua-cam.com/video/6EX3qzx9POw/v-deo.html . But if you want to spend over two grand and have the best sounding maxima, I'd get the Motordyne shockwave exhaust system and ART Y pipe. Here's a sound clip of that also ua-cam.com/video/CAEncCic-uA/v-deo.html .
I recently installed a K&N full intake on my 2016 Chevy Silverado 5.3L. According to the supplied print out by K&N of an actual dyno test of my vehicle , the gain was about 8.3hp. The stock airbox is not really that restrictive, it just has a large reservoir to quiet the airflow before entering the throttle body and the intake manifold plenum. Naysayers aside, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY, an engine could loose hp by installing a quality air intake like a K&N, Volant, Banks, etc. Since an engine is basically a high pressure air pump, basic physics dictates that the more air you can force into a engine the better, this is why superchargers and turbos work so well. Now on some applications like NA 4 cyl engines the gain may be very minimal and not near as much as a V6 or V8 engine, but again, you certainly won't loose hp. Be sure and use a reputable brand like those listed above and avoid buying no name junk from sites like Ebay.
Seatbelt??!! Also they can't void your warranty! FTC Validates Right to Install Aftermarket Parts. In a Consumer Alert issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the agency confirmed that “The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act makes it illegal for companies to void your warranty or deny coverage under the warranty simply because you used an aftermarket part.”
I had been on the fence about spending the money to get a cold air intake for my '14 Maxima. And long as there aren't any cons to it I'd say it's a safe investment. You didn't mention any, so thanks for the video and helping me make that decision.
I don't think there are any cons. I've had the intake on my car for 3 years now and have not had a single issue with it. Some people say that the pod filters let in more debris than the stock air box, but I don't know if there is any truth to that.
Hey Jonathan! I did sell the maxima a little while back but I did not have any issues with the k&n cai when I had it. I can't speak for the newer models of the maxima but the one I had had 0 problems with it
wouldnt you get better response just replacing the stock engine filter to k&n brand filter? Always felt that CAI lose power since it takes away the vacuum the stock airbox creates, you just need the better flow which is why they make regular k&n filters for the stock airbox
I have a K&N filter for the stock intake and I don't notice any difference as far as performance on my 2014 Maxima. I'm looking to upgrade to the cold air intake in the future.
Have you had any issues with the check engine light/oxygen sensor after installing? Thinking about getting this for my 2014 Maxima, but I read that others have had this issue.
Yeah definitely do it up! I have a 2014 maxima so pretty much the same car. Check out my installation video if you'd like to get an idea of how to install it: ua-cam.com/video/qRdT2VvgyYc/v-deo.html
+Brandon I have a 2014 maxima so I'm using a model 69-7002TTK intake. If you have a 04-08 maxima or a 04-06 altima then you'll need to get either the 57-6015 or the 63-6015. The differences between the two series is explained on the the K&N website. Just follow this link www.knfilters.com/cold_air_intakes.htm Scroll down a little and it will show you all the series. But the two models look pretty much identical as far as the material it's made of and the horsepower gains.
Yeah definitely go for it! Just make sure you have the right tools first, nothing worse than starting the project and realizing that you don't have a tool. Other than that it depends on your car make. For example I know hondas and subarus aren't too intake modification friendly and may need a tune after installation where as nissans for example should auto adjust for the increased air flow, at least the newer models. Just some things I've heard from other people that have installed this on other cars. Very simple install though, definitely really happy with it.
Not sure about that one. I would probably recommend going on some Chevy forums and see what kind of experiences people have had so you know what to expect.
ive had it in my car for over a year now and my check engine light is on, i had to take it out to pass inspection and it came back on after it was reinstalled it, is your light on?
+RockSteady67 No I've had mine for almost exactly a year now and I haven't had any problems with the check engine light. Did you check what the code was when the light came on?
+AsphaltRequired no i dont know anything about cars lol when i took it to the mechanic he said theres no way to clear it except take it out and it will be clear for the first 50 miles but then the light will come on again, idk my car is a 2011 maybe somethings different
+RockSteady67 If you still have the intake installed, next time the light comes on take your car to like an autozone or an advance auto parts store and they will do a free diagnostic scan and tell you the code which is causing the check engine light to turn on. Then you will know if it has anything to do with your intake.
+AsphaltRequired its definitely the intake and the light just stays on, it used to go on and off shortly but its been permanent now, the mechanic explained to me that the car cant compute all the extra air coming in so its causing the light just weird that it would happen to mine and not everyones if that's true so idk lol the car runs good i love it
+RockSteady67 Ahhh I see. It's probably something up with your ECU. Nissans are usually good with the ECU auto adjusting to the increased air flow after installing an intake, especially on newer cars. On other cars that are finicky with that, you have to take it into a performance shop to get it tuned. Your car is fairly new since it's a 2011 but I'm not sure if your ECU auto adjusts (I think it should) or was ever reprogrammed. You might need to go reflash your ECU.
I did the same with my Nissan Sentra SR 😊🖒🖒I got the same sound!! I'm very happy & satisfied with the proud . I was convinced when I watched this video!
Thank you for the video, very informative! I saw the installation process as well, you did a great job and made it look like it's easy to install. I'm going to order mine in few days. I would like to ask you a question that's unrelated to the video though, have you had any problems with the CVT, they say a pretty bad things about it, I'm asking because you look like an aggressive-style driver like myself? Thanks again.
+peter abu-jaber Thanks I appreciate it! It was a little weird and took some time getting used to the CVT transmission but it's ok once you get used to it. My car has about 45,000 miles on it and I have not had any issues with the transmission so far. In this video I switched it over to manual mode or tiptronic to change gears "manually". The CVT is different but a lot of manufacturers are moving over to it and it's been available for a while now so it has only improved. Honestly, I prefer a manual transmission but if you're going to get an automatic then I don't think a CVT should discourage you from buying a specific car, especially if it's a newer model. Like everything it depends on which make and model of car you want to get. I wouldn't say a CVT is a reliability issue, just test drive one and see if you like how it drives because it is a bit of a different driving experience than a normal automatic. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
What you had was a CAI stock, what you have now is not. I have seen a lot of tests on these filters and have used them in the distant past on racecars. They are designed to increase airflow/horsepower at the expense of filtration. OEMs spend billions on engineering their cars, why don't they use these filters?? Because they have to warranty their products. I understand using this type of filter element on a race car, I don't get the point on a 150hp. daily driver.
+corey chambers Yeah I'd rather just buy a new filter than spend time cleaning it. Although on the K&N website it says that unless you're driving in extreme conditions, you don't really need to clean the conical style filters for up to 100,000 miles.
im gonna let you geniuses in on somthing, if the intake filter is located in the engine bay it is NOT a cold air intake. "heat shield" or not, its sucking in hot air from the engine, if you dont get a long ram intake just save your money and keep it stock!
Wrong!! The short tube kit is a little better. I'll explain: Thing is, with say...the stillen long tube , that has the air filters resting on top the crash bar, Is less effective due to the fact it utilizes chrome plated steel tubing that holds heat, running the entire length of the engine bay, how ever the location of the air filters is not relevant to this application explanation. As for the short tube kit, K&N with heat shield. Well, yes the actual air filters are inside the engine bay, but the air tubes are anodized aluminum, which aluminum dispels heat more efficiently then chrome plated steel, Now you claim engine bay heat is being pulled in, Wrong. The K&N kit situates the air filters right in front of the core support cold air circulation cut-out ports, with the heatshield acting as a effective air foil only allowing the draw of cold fresh air immediately to the air filters. The only way that engine bay heat could effect the K&N short tube kit, is when you are sitting still idling and the same thing could be said for the stillen kit as well. Remember you are in motion when driving causing severe air turbulence in the engine bay. How ever, both kits will have a certain degree of variant heat soaking, Both kits are a modification that will have similar results, but one kit is more efficient at avoiding radiant heat. This explanation applies to my situation with my 2015 Nissan 370z, with dual intakes. Your particular application may be different.
did you watch this video ua-cam.com/video/gCi2yo4UqPI/v-deo.html just curious what your thoughts are. I was thinking of going with the K&N typhoon until i saw that video. seems like aftermarket intakes are just to increase the sound under the hood and do nothing for hp gains. they might even decrease performance.
+Zachary Symmes Yeah I did see that video, I actually watched the same video before I got mine. I love those guys at Mighty Car Mods! Yeah you're not going to see any big gains by installing a cold air intake on a naturally aspirated engine over the stock air box. The only time that you would really need to change the intake is if you're installing a turbo or supercharger kit to really see a difference. It won't decrease your performance unless you have no heat shield and your intake is baking next to your engine, but the K&N intake comes with a pretty good heat shield. But yeah overall I think you'll get some power gain but it won't be very noticeable, but it does sounds amazing at higher RPMs.
Nice video: Last month, I just installed the K&N cold air intake system & the Flowmaster Force ll exhaust system, on my 2012 Tundra Crewmax! My truck sounds so sexy and I do notice the difference when I step on the gas pedal! Wow! I'm glad I add these components to my truck! Checkout my channel!
Glad you like!
I'm getting a intake too make my Silverado faster and a dual pipe flowmaster because soon I'm getting lift kit and it's gonna reduce speed I don't want that so I'm increasing speeds

hope you like buying gas more often
Why would an intake decrease your gas mileage?
No horsepower increase just noise induction increase. Myth busters proved it.
Seatbelts save lives.
+Travis Williams Haha yeah I realized I wasn't wearing it after I uploaded the video.

In all honesty .. is it worth it ? I feel sucking in too much air to the engine leaves it with a lot of gunk
I agree. Why take any air at all? Surely you could just put bubbles in the fuel and that would suffice?
Can you send a link of which one you got?
I have a 2013 automatic Nissan maxima and I want to add an air intake what's your opinion? I want the same sound as ur car it sounds dope.
Yeah definitely do it up! I have a 2014 maxima so pretty much the same car. Check out my installation video if you'd like to get an idea of how to install it:

+AsphaltRequired thanks I just want that sound it's sounds great and I watched it already thanks dude.
sounds good, i love it my intake!
Happy with K & N.
what engine is that. Im installing on the v6 to give it a little better sound
It's a V6
Isnt that really a short ram?
Hey man which model do you have "57-6015" or "63-6015", and do you know the difference between the two?
+Brandon I have a 2014 maxima so I'm using a model 69-7002TTK intake. If you have a 04-08 maxima or a 04-06 altima then you'll need to get either the 57-6015 or the 63-6015. The differences between the two series is explained on the the K&N website. Just follow this link www.knfilters.com/cold_air_intakes.htm
Scroll down a little and it will show you all the series. But the two models look pretty much identical as far as the material it's made of and the horsepower gains.
Hey man, not really too car technical here lol thinking about doing this mod to my car. Any tips?
Yeah definitely go for it! Just make sure you have the right tools first, nothing worse than starting the project and realizing that you don't have a tool. Other than that it depends on your car make. For example I know hondas and subarus aren't too intake modification friendly and may need a tune after installation where as nissans for example should auto adjust for the increased air flow, at least the newer models. Just some things I've heard from other people that have installed this on other cars. Very simple install though, definitely really happy with it.
+AsphaltRequired I have a 2015 Chevrolet Sonic LTZ Turbo
Not sure about that one. I would probably recommend going on some Chevy forums and see what kind of experiences people have had so you know what to expect.
+AsphaltRequired thanks for all the info man!
No problem. Let me know how it works out for you or if you have any installation questions!
i have maxima 2012 and i want this intake on this video do you have any upgrades on your exhaust?
Michael Thompson Nope just the stock exhaust
ive had it in my car for over a year now and my check engine light is on, i had to take it out to pass inspection and it came back on after it was reinstalled it, is your light on?
+RockSteady67 No I've had mine for almost exactly a year now and I haven't had any problems with the check engine light. Did you check what the code was when the light came on?
+AsphaltRequired no i dont know anything about cars lol when i took it to the mechanic he said theres no way to clear it except take it out and it will be clear for the first 50 miles but then the light will come on again, idk my car is a 2011 maybe somethings different
+RockSteady67 If you still have the intake installed, next time the light comes on take your car to like an autozone or an advance auto parts store and they will do a free diagnostic scan and tell you the code which is causing the check engine light to turn on. Then you will know if it has anything to do with your intake.
+AsphaltRequired its definitely the intake and the light just stays on, it used to go on and off shortly but its been permanent now, the mechanic explained to me that the car cant compute all the extra air coming in so its causing the light just weird that it would happen to mine and not everyones if that's true so idk lol the car runs good i love it
+RockSteady67 Ahhh I see. It's probably something up with your ECU. Nissans are usually good with the ECU auto adjusting to the increased air flow after installing an intake, especially on newer cars. On other cars that are finicky with that, you have to take it into a performance shop to get it tuned. Your car is fairly new since it's a 2011 but I'm not sure if your ECU auto adjusts (I think it should) or was ever reprogrammed. You might need to go reflash your ECU.
What car u got
What kind of K and N is this?
Is that all intake noise? Sounds great .
Yep that's all intake. Everything else is stock.
I did the same with my Nissan Sentra SR 😊🖒🖒I got the same sound!! I'm very happy & satisfied with the proud . I was convinced when I watched this video!
Would you recommend this product for an automatic car?
Yes, I drive an automatic car. I was using tiptronic gear shifting in the video.
What car are you driving?
it was a 2014 nissam maxima
Thank you for the video, very informative! I saw the installation process as well, you did a great job and made it look like it's easy to install. I'm going to order mine in few days. I would like to ask you a question that's unrelated to the video though, have you had any problems with the CVT, they say a pretty bad things about it, I'm asking because you look like an aggressive-style driver like myself? Thanks again.
+peter abu-jaber Thanks I appreciate it! It was a little weird and took some time getting used to the CVT transmission but it's ok once you get used to it. My car has about 45,000 miles on it and I have not had any issues with the transmission so far. In this video I switched it over to manual mode or tiptronic to change gears "manually". The CVT is different but a lot of manufacturers are moving over to it and it's been available for a while now so it has only improved. Honestly, I prefer a manual transmission but if you're going to get an automatic then I don't think a CVT should discourage you from buying a specific car, especially if it's a newer model. Like everything it depends on which make and model of car you want to get. I wouldn't say a CVT is a reliability issue, just test drive one and see if you like how it drives because it is a bit of a different driving experience than a normal automatic. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
What exaust system are you running on?? Mxp??
Just stock exhaust
Great vid my brotha you definitely got my sub bro
And your car would be?
It's a 2014 nissan maxima
What you had was a CAI stock, what you have now is not. I have seen a lot of tests on these filters and have used them in the distant past on racecars. They are designed to increase airflow/horsepower at the expense of filtration. OEMs spend billions on engineering their cars, why don't they use these filters?? Because they have to warranty their products. I understand using this type of filter element on a race car, I don't get the point on a 150hp. daily driver.
Sounds amazing!
haha at 2:34 that would be the truck that i want to through a cold air intake on.
Car sounds real nice
Thanks man!
i always buy 3 boxes of k&n filter so i wont clean 1 of them
+corey chambers Yeah I'd rather just buy a new filter than spend time cleaning it. Although on the K&N website it says that unless you're driving in extreme conditions, you don't really need to clean the conical style filters for up to 100,000 miles.
What other mods do you have on the car. What exhaust?
The amazing thing is that everything else is stock! Stock exhaust. It's on a 2014 Nissan Maxima.
Sound is awesome 👌
im gonna let you geniuses in on somthing, if the intake filter is located in the engine bay it is NOT a cold air intake. "heat shield" or not, its sucking in hot air from the engine, if you dont get a long ram intake just save your money and keep it stock!
TURNS2STONE89 keep it stock ant remove the lid, you get the same effect lmao
Wrong!! The short tube kit is a little better. I'll explain: Thing is, with say...the stillen long tube , that has the air filters resting on top the crash bar, Is less effective due to the fact it utilizes chrome plated steel tubing that holds heat, running the entire length of the engine bay, how ever the location of the air filters is not relevant to this application explanation.
As for the short tube kit, K&N with heat shield. Well, yes the actual air filters are inside the engine bay, but the air tubes are anodized aluminum, which aluminum dispels heat more efficiently then chrome plated steel, Now you claim engine bay heat is being pulled in, Wrong. The K&N kit situates the air filters right in front of the core support cold air circulation cut-out ports, with the heatshield acting as a effective air foil only allowing the draw of cold fresh air immediately to the air filters.
The only way that engine bay heat could effect the K&N short tube kit, is when you are sitting still idling and the same thing could be said for the stillen kit as well. Remember you are in motion when driving causing severe air turbulence in the engine bay.
How ever, both kits will have a certain degree of variant heat soaking, Both kits are a modification that will have similar results, but one kit is more efficient at avoiding radiant heat.
This explanation applies to my situation with my 2015 Nissan 370z, with dual intakes. Your particular application may be different.
Joe Jones nice explanation, I'm looking to install this summer
Sorry bro but that's not a cold air intake, it's a short ram intake and you are getting hot air from the engine bay.
damnn sounds sweet !!!
is that a Nissan maxima?
Yep 2014 maxima
I ride a motorcycle. I don't wear a seatbelt.
Watch out for the cops.
k&n filters get oil on your sensors and than dirt gets trapt on the oil because they don't filter. personal experience. don't use k&n
BAD BOY, no seatbelt :(
Good shit dude
Thanks man!
did you watch this video ua-cam.com/video/gCi2yo4UqPI/v-deo.html
just curious what your thoughts are. I was thinking of going with the K&N typhoon until i saw that video. seems like aftermarket intakes are just to increase the sound under the hood and do nothing for hp gains. they might even decrease performance.
+Zachary Symmes Yeah I did see that video, I actually watched the same video before I got mine. I love those guys at Mighty Car Mods! Yeah you're not going to see any big gains by installing a cold air intake on a naturally aspirated engine over the stock air box. The only time that you would really need to change the intake is if you're installing a turbo or supercharger kit to really see a difference. It won't decrease your performance unless you have no heat shield and your intake is baking next to your engine, but the K&N intake comes with a pretty good heat shield. But yeah overall I think you'll get some power gain but it won't be very noticeable, but it does sounds amazing at higher RPMs.
+AsphaltRequired i was refering to the turbo with CAI. what engine do you have?
+AsphaltRequired nevermind, i think yours is a non turbo.
+Zachary Symmes Yeah I have a naturally aspirated engine.
hot air intake for the win!!!
sucks the market for that gen is almost non existent. too bad JWT doesnt make one. their kits seal to the hood to actually keep the heat out
You're handsome, dude
so many test that concluded that that shit doesn't add any horse power .what a fucking joke .it only gives a nice note thats it people.
That's all people that get an intake are looking for, a better sound.
Then don't say you got 13 more horse power cuz we all know you didn't.
Your grammar is horrendous...yikes
Nice video:
Last month, I just installed the K&N cold air intake system & the Flowmaster Force ll exhaust system, on my 2012 Tundra Crewmax! My truck sounds so sexy and I do notice the difference when I step on the gas pedal! Wow! I'm glad I add these components to my truck! Checkout my channel!
Lmao...13 more hp... what kind of fucking Dino are you using
hotness
😍😱
sounds like a Nissan/infiniti
+Keon Cooke You're right! It's a Nissan Maxima.
+AsphaltRequired I knew it lol. my mom has a 2k maxima they almost sound similar
Ok kid
sounds nice
