Is there a nismo air intake available for dealer install on a 2008 altima and if so is there a warranty impact if installed? I can get them put in with Mazda or VW with no impact to warranty, but the description I see in the online nismo catalog leaves me thinking the same is not true with Nissan.

It appears there is no way to tow anything in an altima? Is anyone aware of why this is? It is a compelling reason to consider another vehicle. Must mid size sedans have a 1000 lb tow capacity.

| That towing thing was really the last piece in the puzzle. Unless I decide to hold off for a really long time on buying I think this settles it. The Altima is what I need for me. | |

Replying to: milkman1 (May 02, 2008 2:30 pm) There is not, but there are 4 manufactures to choose from: Injen, Fujita, Weapon-R, and Stillen. Installing these will not effect the warranty, unless it's determined that the reason for whatever went wrong was caused by the intake. Fujita is your best bet, because they are all basically the same and it's the cheapest. Good info: Intake info for Altima

Replying to: karpediem (May 05, 2008 5:18 pm) In this era of horsepower & efficiency competition between the makes, I would assume the engineers had optimized most components like that.  If you're looking for some aural boost from the QR25, beware that they don't sound particularly tasty (not like a rev-happy SR20DE or Honda S2000) when they're louder. Trust me, I absolutely Iove the very ample low-rpm yank from our Altima 2.5, but it's better felt than heard.

Replying to: karsick (May 05, 2008 5:50 pm) I do have to disagree with you on the sound though. With the stock intake when you get on the gas, you hear the car rev up and it sounds like a weinie car...thanks to the 4cyl. Throw on the SRI, and you get a much lower tone, somewhat throaty, and not near as "weinie." This can cause a lower mpg though, because you find yourself wanting to hear that beautiful sound, so you get on it a little more often. Also, it's a heck of a lot easier to see when the filter is dirty, and clean the filter. (don't have to buy new ones) I've gotten aftermarket intakes on my last 3 cars, and will continue to get them on all my future cars. |

Is there any after market grill or front fascia that gets rid of the stupid looking fog light plastic inserts? If not that, are there any after market fog light systems for the altima that look better than the factory lights?

| That is a really nice front end kit. I doubt it would be cheaper than actually getting the fog lamps though. Definitely will keep an eye on it though. | |
