i have sinned
so i checked my air filter today, was dirty as shit. and i went to go buy a new one, they are very expensive. and a thought poped in my head as i looked at the stock tubing. so i did it, i bought an 3 inch apc high flow filther, pulled my air box out, and stuck it on the stock piping. so it pretty much looks like an intake with the stock pipe. its ghetto, but it sounds hella good.
anything wrong with this?

nice, nothin wrong w/ a little ghetto SRI while tryin to save up for a real one...not nearly as bad as when i had my 98 maxima and hacked my airbox (talk about ghetto). I definitely drilled some large holes into the bottom of the airbox and popped in a K&N, it definitely improved the sound and the performance was a little better.
