I have it on my Nismo, and its a badass intake non-the-less. Honestly i don't feel ANY difference at all but its sounds 100x better under open throttle. The fact that you won't feel a difference isn't suprising though so take that with a grain of salt. Most individual mods you won't feel...but they add up. So when you are ready to sell your car and you put it back to stock...and you replace 6 or 7 parts...it will feel SOO slow. But me personally...the vast majority of minor mods like this are unfelt.

How was the install fit, did they have to cut much of the NISMO bumper fascia? (Same question to you "Armhunter")

I did the install myself. I'm not sure what you mean by "cut much of the fascia"??? I didn't cut ANY part of the fascia. The only part i had to cut was making the openings bigger for the pipes to exit the engine bay. But i don't consider that the fascia...the fascia is the bumper itself. I didn't touch the bumper.

Oh and i had to cut a bolt in half to prevent it from scraping the drivers side pipe.

....was i supposed to cut something? Lol...it fits fine...though the hood requires more pressure to close now.

You don't cut any of the front fascia. You do however have to cut or remove the black metal plate attached to the aluminum crash bar. By doing this I also relocated the horn.

LOL...... I haven't bought one yet & when I do I know I will LOVE IT & will let you guys now. It is b/w the Stillen G3 & the Takeda CAI. I know as soon as I purchase a CAI I will have to get a tune. I'm probably going to pull the trigger in Aug. or Sept., but in no super rush though. I believe to-do both (CAI & tune) I will be looking at $1-1.2k.

How fast were you going, or what was your avg. speed that you were avg. upper 26mpg? Man
