AEM dual cold air intake (long tube)

No no no you see it doesn't matter if the regular intake will fit or not. If the box says "DESIGNED FOR THE NISMO EDITION" It's going to sell even if they charge $900. You say "but wait thats stupid, no one would do that i wouldn't buy it for that much" OOOooohh but people will and so what if you don't buy it you'll just end up buying the regular version so either way they sell you an intake, and they make a killing off of uninformed NISMO fanboys <---smart buisness

EDIT: proof = people buy the nismo exhaust for almost 2 g's when it makes less than a fourth of the power of similar 1500 catbacks

My point is a simple one.

If you are in the design phase why not make one that fits every model. It's just simple logic. AEM makes good intakes (one I'd consider buying) and if they make one that doesn't require cutting the longer air guides that direct air to the cooling parts then +1 for me, other NISMO owners and people who are upgrading to the NISMO front end.

If the above was directed at me maybe you should click on the intro post on my signature and come back and tell me I'm a NISMO fan-boy who doesn't know anything....

Actually, people bought the Nismo exhaust because it was covered under warranty and added some power/sound.

Not to get too OT but after getting a baseline dyno done on my car, then doing a back to back with the HKS Hi-Power exhaust I have some respect for the NISMO exhaust. It was pretty close.

no it wasn't directed at you. I'm just saying they do exist and 400 extra dollars for something that says nismo is nothing to them. You kind of have to take it as a satirical insight into the world of capitalism and big business preying on the ignorant and willing to spend it isn't directly aimed at anyone.

the s-tune is different from the version that comes on the nismo and it sells for a bundle
