New Airaid Intake for Xterra's!

I just got off the phone with an technical advisor from Poweraid, and he said next week they start shipping the new Airaid intake for the Xterra. The kit uses the stock factory bottom half of the airbox (along with the intake tubes), but replaces the top half and comes an adaptor/cone air filter. This is a "sealed" unit, so heat soak or water splashing up into the engine compartment should not be a problem. Their list price was $219, but he said dealers like www.truckperformance.com would have them cheaper.

I've emailed them a couple of times myself. Just been waiting for them to release. I looked at TruckPerformance.com and found the airaid for the Xterra list. web page $153.00 However, it shows that it's ships in 24hrs. How can that be right if airraid hasn't released it yet. Jim

the spacer you have is for the 3.3L frontier engine part number right? air raid doesnt list a part number specifically for the xterra yet that i know of. what are the benefits of the spacer?

Hey Stormy,
How much did it set you back? I have been looking at getting an intake, and would be interested to also know if you have seen any performace gains? Thanks, Kevin

There is a guy on eBay who will occasionally sell that exact same Stillen kit. Going rate was about $189.

Resetting your ECU does not help your ECU adjust quicker to changes. Your ECU is constantly evaluating the condition of the engine sensors and making adjustments. By resetting the ECU you are causing it to go back to factory defaults and relearn EVERYTHING instead of just letting it adjust for the air intake change. You will only get shitty gas mileage and poor power for 30 or 40 miles until the ECU re-learns what's going on in your engine. Leave the ECU alone unless you are changing something inside the ECU.

Originally posted by xoc: Never mind, I had them confused with a velocity stack. It seems the PowerAid Spacer is nothing more than an expensive Tornado.[/QB] My thoughts exactly. Why would you have to wait for an Xterra part number. The two engines are identical. Either way don't waste your money. I have talked to several people who noticed no change whatsoever.
