Yea I noticed a difference with the solid there is no play when you turn the steering wheel side to side while you moving at a decent speed. I recommend it. the feedback from bumps is much greater but I dont mind the aggressive ride.

I just wanted a low-key setup to fly under the cops radar.

yeah. there was a coupe there with KA-T, but he had aftermarket mani and piping. but they were all paint flat black, and from what he told me, cops let him pass being dumbfounded and stuff... cuz of his stock intake box an what-not, but i think yours looks much more stock than his, maybe clean up that intake piping and that zipties...other than that, it would def fool a newbie fan boy if you play your game hard. lol good shit though man.

Yea I was at the k1 meet I ended up taking the trophy for best wheel fitment home that day. I dont think I saw that coupe, I cant remember. Are their any pics of his bay? He got lucky lol I'm curious to find out if the cops will know its turbo or not. But I'm not about to go get pulled over on purpose just to find out lol
The zip ties are all gone now, only thing i need to do is clean up the intake piping or paint the couple black.
Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome on the factor manifold conversion. I will undoubtedly use a stock FWD sr manifold on my next turbo altima!

Hell yea hopefully they wont even think twice about the engine being modified. Sweet let us know when you do that I'd like to see how that comes out.

This setup will fly under the radar no problem!

You got any pics of your set up? I'd like to see what Steezxit is talking about.

yours and the OPs are pretty dope set-up, considering its mostly OE stuff and under the radar type...but you did have a front mount, OP still have the sidemount..still dope though. i like.

I considered front mount but still thought it was too noticeable so I went with side-mount route, I found an OEM duct for it so that made me lean towards the SMIC too haha

Look closely under the cold pipe coming out of the SMIC.
