installed cold air intake
#18
I might look nice but it would also defeat the purpose. The thick black powdercoat on the CAI tube is designed to deflect heat from the engine and keep the inside of the intake cooler. If you had anything metal (ie: can be polished/chromed) it would get very hot and hence create a Hot Air Intake, defeating the purpose.
It would look perrdy tho

I had an intake in all of my vehicles so far and currently I have what's considered a CAI by Injen in my 97 maxima. Altho it's NOT a true CAI. I only have it for the noise. All of them were silver/chrome polished. GX is the only vehicle that is not modded and I was actually looking for something like this for the GX.
Now going back to what I was saying, polished or not, the loud monstrous sound will be there without any performance hp gain. So why not just make it look pretty? Here's a pic of what i'm talking about. I grabbed this pic off google so it's not my pic.
Now time for video clips... i'm dying to hear how this beast sounds
PS - If i've said something irrelevant to the GX, then please excuse me because i'm still messing around with the GX and still at the learning stage. All my experience come from Nissan's VQ30 and VQ35 engines and mods. Also, your truck really motivates me because I love your tastes in mods.
