I installed this CAI on my brother's NX a few weeks ago. As last time, I used 3 inch exhaust piping, one genuine coupler (the red one) and two 3 inch couplers from Home Depot. I pretty much copied a Place Racing intake that I saw at the previous Queens meet at Riis Park. However, someone recently posted AEM pics and the bends in that intake follow the original contour of the stock rubber hose. I may make my "3rd gen" more like the AEM who says they dyno more than other CAI's. :)
I had the connections for the vacuum lines welded on by a friend, and for some reason he only polished the TB-MAF section of it. Eventually, my brother wants to remove the CAI and paint it red anyway. Without further adieu, here are the pics:

The car definitely feels nice....although when we went to the track my brother was having...ahem, problems launching, so we won't discuss that. Anyway, what do ya think??
