Yes i know it is not like a aem of nismo but it works the sameand with the 80 bucks i saved i can get more stickers to increase my rear wheel horsepower

You have to get GT-R stickers there the only ones that work

i did the exact same thing on my 06, but minus all the tubing. i have it laying around here somewhere and might do it one day. good job on doing stuff for yourself on the cheap, respect up +10.

just remember, dude, not everyone has had 3 hondas, so not everyone will have access to a bunch of pipes (even though they're pretty cheap).

i just finished making my own intake yesterday and was coming on here to make a thread. i did basically the same thing as this but the tubing i had laying around had a 90 in it so i had to use 3 couplers. I just bought an AEM dryflow filter to go with it.  I'll post pics later, mine looks a lil more ghetto tho cause i was one coupler short so i had to use one i had with a crack in it and cover it in duct tape until i can pick one up. either way, it sounds loud as fuck, and beats spending 150+ for an AEM SRI.  DIY ftw!

pics added!

At Pep Boys they sell various pipes by Spectre that you can build an intake out of.   Here's mine on the SE-R

In reference to the hose that comes off the top of the head and connects to the stock flex pipe....do you have to make a special arrangement for that of can you just zip tie it out of the way in a dry place?

what have you done there with that breather hose from the head? It doesnt look like you tapped it back into the intake?

it's just hanging out there going nowhere

That wont cause any problems?
I guess if its going into an air intake anywhere will do if its in the air?

Sweet, Im going to go to my exhaust guys and see if they have a spare peice of 3 inch scrap exhaust pipe I can get off them and some fittings and do this. I have the JWT pop charger but I wanna get rid of the stock flex pipe.
Maybe Ill zip tie a coffee filter on the end of the breather just so no crap gets sucked up, lol.

Incase ur still wondering I got the 22 degree elbow peice. Looks like cute02 has the 45 degree? I should take a pic but just FYI the 22 degree fits perfectly.

Great news.  What was the price?  I'm going out tonight to get parts.

lol what's this add...3hp?  Meh, I like the sound. lol

I might have paid more then its worth just cuz its harder to get parts up here but it was 20$ (CDN) for the elbow and 14$ each for the couplers.
Maybe in total 3hp if ur lucky, but it does sound alot better and gets rid of the shitty stock resonators and stuff. I already had the JWT pop charger so the new pipe maybe adds .5hp to that...? LOL
They had spectra pop chargers where i got the other parts but I didint look at the price so I wouldint feel bad after paying 100$ for the JWT pop charger.
They also have all sorts of maf adaptors and other peices if you wanted a CAI.

So basically what I need is the 22degree pipe (any cutting?), the couplers which bind it to the TB and MAF (right), the MAF sucker (from MAF to cone), the cone, and something to hold it to the fender?  Or is that even necessary?

I'm painting this shit red lol.

Who sells the fender mount, Spectra?  I'm going to leave and go to Pep Boys whenever my friend gets here.  Homebrew FTW.

What are your first impressions- sound, performance, etc?

That mount came with my JWT pop charger. The performance didint seem to change much from the pop charger and the stock tubing. I find the Pop charger makes it much louder and sexy when those butterflys open up at 5k rpm, after I got my exhaust done my motor sounded like crap till I got the pop charger on. The spectre piping I got cleans it up some but I cant say how much an improvement it is over the stock piping yet, if anything might just help air flow at the top end.
Looks less ghetto tho.

I think they should be around 20-25$

Now I just gotta find some good red paint lol

Orangeblast or heidi- does your filter have any form of support or attachment to the fender?  I don't want that fucker smacking the fender nonstop, that can never lead to good things lol

they should have this funky universal bracket thing with the rest of the spectre parts that you could use, id suggest making something urself to save the $$. They sold these little metal peices that looked like mecano or kenex that you could fit together to make a braket but it looked ghetto and not worth it.

i made mine for 15$ my cousin works at autozone and they where getting rid of a bunch of the universal intake pipes and couplers. they were jus going to throw them away and i was like WAIT!!!!!!!!! ill take those off your hands lol they actually sell something rather close to an adapter for the MAF with a small bit of drilling(holes are like a slight bit off) but it works great my cousin used here discount on the filter and i was in business
