As you can see from the pictures below there was a problem with the install of the box. I guess Nissan decided to change an air conditioning line near the air box for 04 which is what caused the problem. Other than that ever thing else was fine. Love the growl it makes when you get over 2000 rpms. I still have to remove the fender resonator but that will eventually get done. Installed: Problem: 2004 LE-V6 Crew Cab Electric Blue

I was not going to do the mod until a had the exhaust done first, which I think whould make it work better. But, the intake was on clearance and I just could not pass it up. 2004 LE-V6 Crew Cab Electric Blue

I had the first production unit and ran it on the dyno for Tony and paid $200. Looks like I am going to have a similar issue as you did when I go to put it in my 04. Did you have to modify anything to make it fit? Thanks, Joe 04 Brawn Red SVE 4x4 CC LB

I am still thinking of ways to make it fit better, the only problems i had are the air temp. sensor wires are a little snug, and there is a rubber hose on the other side that is a little snug to. But if go buy some more hose and modify the box to fit around the air conditioner lines everything should be fine. Since it works right now and there is no problem I am going to wait until it warms up to start working on it. 2004 LE-V6 Crew Cab Electric Blue

It didn't really affect the install at all, just made it a little more of a tight fit (added maybe an extra 3-5 minutes on the install). I assumed from the shape of the volant box that they had designed the box to work around it, but maybe i'm mistaken.

I will say I had the hardest time getting the bolt closest to the firewall out. Then it just took some time to remove the wheel liner and position the resonator to the correct spot to get it out. Second, I fixed the tight air temp wires by cutting the zip tie around the big large group of wires and moved it up some and zip tied it trew some holes that were below the old air box. Third, I used some of the left over rubber that was for the box to seal up to the finder and put it around the intake tube were it came through the box to the air filter to help seal that more tightly. To keep out the hot air. Also I removed the volant badge from the top of the air box. I will try to get pictures up in the next day or so. 2004 LE-V6 Crew Cab Electric Blue

Nice to see how everything fits together outside of the truck. -- Brian Asheville, NC 02 SC/CC Silver Ice

On the rubber hose on the firewall side of the box - if you get an elbow from your local parts house everything works like a champ. It's just 1/8" pipe thread. I got a 45 degree (instead of the standard 90 deg. ell) male/female brass elbow. Pu it in the box and the nipple into it. The hose routes fine now and it sure beats that nipple sticking straight out the side of the box (funky). Sure wish Nissan made the temp sensor wires about 2" longer! Cheers Paul_F
