Wats up everyone, so i just got me a xA a week ago and i love it, its a automatic, but i can deal with that, now a few questions for u pros out there, i used to have a 96 eclipse, which of course i threw on a intake system first, so i kinda know about cars, so i was wonderin where to start with my xA, if i should go ahead first and throw on a intake first, and wats a good one for it? and help is much apperciated. thanks everyone.

 

CAI is a good place to start if you're looking for "performance" modifications. In my opinion the looks of the car really stand out from others so that's where I would want to start - make my xA stand out even more.

 

Go with the CAI, I prefer the K&N, I've heard other folks had trouble with other brands, then, tint the windows, upgrade the wheels and throw in some sound deadner.....
I am not a huge fan of a louder exhaust on a slushbox, that is why mine is still stock.

 

I would suggest a Short RAm intake... this is a topic thats debatable by many...but bottom line, the less pipe distance and bends the faster response. The ambient air was tested and was basicly the same temp in the bay as where the CAI was housed. That and unless you go JDM on your intake a heck of a lot cheaper then Cold air.

 

True.. there are some sweet looking short rams.......

 

Let me be the first to say screw the intake and save your money for suspension upgrades. Will give you the most bang for the buck, for sure.

 

you can get some good springs and a short ram for the cost of a cold air. everyone wins!

 

you'll get the most power from a header and an axle back if your going all N/A
