$261.00
Free Shipping Hurry Low Stock

If you’re looking to give your 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima a bit of a boost, check out the HPS Performance 827 Series Air Intake Kit. This isn’t just another air intake; it’s designed specifically for the V6 3.5L engine, and it really knows how to breathe. The 3-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing is a game changer, allowing for better airflow, which means you’ll feel an increase in horsepower and torque right off the bat. Plus, it sharpens up that throttle response, making your drives a lot more engaging.

One of the standout features is the heat shield. It does a solid job of keeping hot air away from the filter, ensuring that the engine gets the coolest air possible. This is crucial for performance, especially if you're pushing your car a bit harder. And don’t worry about complicated installations—this kit comes with a manual that’s got clear pictures and instructions, so you won’t be scratching your head trying to figure it out.

Installation is a breeze, too. You won’t need to make any modifications or mess with tuning, and it won’t trigger any check engine lights. Just bolt it on and you’re good to go. The lightweight aluminum alloy not only replaces the stock air box, but it also optimizes airflow while providing excellent heat dissipation. This means it’s built to last, even if you’re taking your Maxima for a spirited drive.

HPS didn’t skimp on quality here. The kit features reinforced silicone hoses that have been tested in racing conditions, and the industrial-grade stainless steel T-bolt clamps ensure everything stays secure, no matter how hard you push it. The air filter is washable and reusable, so you won’t have to keep buying replacements every few months. It’s designed with performance in mind, balancing filtration and airflow seamlessly.

Features:

  • Boosts horsepower and torque while improving throttle response—no tuning needed post-install.
  • Lightweight 3-inch aluminum tubing for optimized airflow and heat dissipation.
  • Race-proven silicone hoses and durable stainless steel clamps for reliability.
  • Heat shield included to keep your air filter cool.
  • Easy bolt-on installation with no modifications required.
