So with the K&N, fitment was good? I am tempted to get one for my sedan...

Fitment was great, two things that were not talked about in the instructions.

The first is a transmission breathe tube. That has a place on the stock air box. On the K&N it does not. So I zip tied it to one of the wiring harnesses.

The second is the bracket that you install on the heat shroud took me a few minutes to know where it went. It actually goes to what I believe is the A/C charging male connector bolt. Other than that I have not had a problem.

One big selling point for me was this integrated the factory air intake pipe, where as the others leave it sitting there making it look half a$$ed

Hmm have any experiance with the shift kit?

[mikejamesbyma]

Nope. For the Altima community though, there is no better vendor.

Excellent may order one this weekend. My only concern is warranty being voided!!

Now if only EBC comes out with rotors and pads for my car. Because the stock brakes S***

If you're worried about the warranty then just call the dealership and ask them about it.

I'm not sure how difficult it is to take on or off, but if it's easy enough you can just take the modification off before taking it in for warranty work. It's such a basic mod but you're better safe then sorry.
