Overland Frontier Mods: Install and review of the AFE intake.

I unbox and install the new AFE Intake system in the overland Nissan Frontier. This intake is one of the best in the market and works amazing when coupled with my 3” AFE cat back exhaust. The AFE intake buts it’s itchy up to the Tjm snorkel inlet port. The intake was very easy to install and I give a easy how to Vid and first impressions/review. Check it out!

I like your video because you started with "im happy!." You know how many people never do that?? Makes a huge difference. Blessings and sweet setup bro

[@taolang1089]

Nice man! I hear the growl of your frontier!! Nice Mods!!! Very cool!! 👍

[@OpieDogie]

Awesome, i agree with the oil filter part. I used to run oil filter but switched to aFe dry about 15 yrs ago.

[@carlosizz89]

nice I got the same intake to set it up with a snorkle, once I get the snorkle in I'll share more input. love your videos keep up the good work

[@Dagrootx]

carlosizz89 sweet thanks man.

[@benperea8483]

Awesome video!!!

[@AllTerrainNation]

More power is always a good thing!

[@corradettimotorsports360]

Nice detailed install!!! I like the sound it makes when you put your foot on the accelerator! ahaha. Next test is a deep water hole! ;) can't wait to see how you like it once the tune is all set up!

[@Dagrootx]

Corradetti Motorsports it’s does sound amazingly more throaty in the higher RPM. Not annoyingly so though. After having it on for two days I’m even more happy with it.

[@paulmcentyre1689]

dang just got my truck, was gonna be conservative but damn now I need this stuff

[@Emgsd]

Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing! Have you been leaving the cap on or off?

[@FoamSquatch]

I like this intake, if for anything how clean and solid it looks. I do kinda wish they rotated the sensor bung to the back side to make it look even cleaner.

[@Dagrootx]

Since this one came out Z1 off road has developed and even nicer setup! That’s prob the one I would go with.

[@a.t.f.affectiontolerantfun2946]

Awesome video, just got my Frontier. Noticed your bumper during install (will watch other videos) love it what brand is it?

[@Dagrootx]

A.T.F. Affection/Tolerant/Fun thanks Man. It’s a hefty fab aluminum bumper. Amazingly light and super heavy duty!!

[@a.t.f.affectiontolerantfun2946]

DaGrootX thanks, I really like those. Top of my budget though, will be a consideration.

[@jesusc7518]

Way better than k&n air filter kits

[@benperea8483]

You ought to post a video with a walk around of your red Nissan

[@Dagrootx]

Ben Perea I have one. It’s a little bit older. I’ll be doing another one with all the updates!

[@goulartaf66]

Have you thought of getting the AE headers? I'm thinking of that. Also, I'm wondering about engine swap. 4.0 to the newer 3.8. Wondering if it's a plug-in play or if there's a lot of differences with mounting. I have about 240k miles on my '06 Pathfinder.

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

Any thoughts on doing the poor man’s air box drilled holes and K&N filter mod?

[@Brandon-yp2wy]

I like it! Is it still CA smog compliant? That's my biggest fear with modifications is the crappy smog laws

[@Dagrootx]

Brandon yeah. It’s one of a very few that are. It comes with a sticker that shows its smog legal.

[@curtisb1824]

Let's have a up graded upgrade done on the Nissan Armada !

[@KTPRODUCTIONS90]

Also, how would I go about taking mine to get tuned after a new intake? I've never had a vehicle tuned. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do exhaust upgrade or not yet.

[@jhonsauceda6024]

A purge and rattle would be awesome if you're in a really dusty environment.

[@DimplesDon9]

New subscriber here man. I starting to love the contents. I noticed the battery you have. What brand and size? And also the battery clamp or bracket to hold the battery i like it, what brand is that and where did you buy it? Thanks

[@Dagrootx]

DON Q thanks man! I’m running a yellow top optima. It’s been pretty good. My next battery will be a full throttle battery though. Best in the biz! The battery hold down is from Offroadgorilla.com

[@DimplesDon9]

@@Dagrootx hey man. I would love to request a video of modifications for the halogen stock headlight bulb. Would it be possible to use a led on our cone type reflector housing and which one is compatible with the retainer ring and to provide perfect beam pattern. I know there are tons of 9007 bulb in the market. Please...🙏

[@jerz732]

Hey don q, just to help I just installed the hikira 9007 led bulbs on mine they are 40 dollars on Amazon and you can use the retainer as well the bulb comes apart.

[@DimplesDon9]

@@jerz732 thanks for the input man. I wish you have video of the beam pattern for low and high. How was it ? Would you recommend?

[@jerz732]

There is a video on how to install them it is a different brand but i have bought these before and the peam pattern is perfect even in the regular housing. You don't need tools but the passenger side is a little tight

[@brandonmcgurk7925]

15 Xterra. Installed a K&N open intake almost a year ago and was unhappy with how loose the heat shield was around the filter and of course as i checked under the hood one day the filter was a little damaged. Checked to see if any of the bolts were loose but it was just a loose fit by design. Really looking into these intakes. Do you have the specific model intake? Also coming from the east coast should i stick with an oiled filter? Or would that matter? Thanks!!

[@Dagrootx]

Brandon McGurk link is in the vid description. Also, I totally know what you meant on the KN. I’ve seen that before! I would suggest going with an oiled filter on the east coast though.

[@andresreza9911]

What battery are you using? What size of optima

[@KTPRODUCTIONS90]

Why did you say the intake tube wouldn't last? Is it the quality? How long will it last? I'm trying to decide between K&N or aFe for my 2019 Frontier 4.0

[@charlesnickell7257]

So after running your afe cold air intake and your afe exhaust is it still doing good. I ask cause I just order mine today and I hope I'm happy with it. And any advice you can give would be much appreciated

[@Dagrootx]

Absolutely!!

[@charlesnickell7257]

@@Dagrootx thank you

[@christianmartinez7802]

Will this fit onto a 2022 frontier CC 3.8?

[@marim4478]

Did you experience any intake vibration in the cab days after install?

[@Dagrootx]

Nope.

[@cyyanagisawa9168]

Do you have a catch can installed?

[@maicoknight]

What snorkle modle did you use for you truck ?? I'm trying to get something similar for a 06 xterra 4.0

[@williamdenke8653]

Hey Danny do they make these for frontiers without snorkels?

[@Dagrootx]

William Denke yes. The snorkel was actually in the truck and is a TJM. Totally different part. It just so happened to fit really close when I installed the intake

[@stevemcc8182]

Did you ever do the Uprev? What happened? Can't see a video of it in your upload list...

[@Dagrootx]

Check the Nissan overland frontier Uprev tune vid. Also, the second Uprev vid is when I do all the burnouts.

[@f1y7rap]

Danny, do you know if AFE's claims are with or without tune? also... please POST NUMBERS!

[@Dagrootx]

My understanding is without a tune. As for tune numbers I won’t get dyno numbers when I tune because I’ll be just taking eng info and getting a tune built remotely. So I’ll give you a solid burnout and butt dyno review!

[@philc.9280]

Just wondering as I look at mods for my Frontier. Wouldn't a K and N air filter do the same as this as the AFE website boasts 1-2 horsepower increase as does K and N. We are talking $400 vs $59. Both of these are oiled filters

[@russtover]

I noticed when I changed out my intake to a cold air intake that the box is built totally differently. It allows for more air flow and not sucking air through a straw. I think just the design of the air box alone and the tube being bigger to your throttle body is a game changer alone.

[@philc.9280]

@@russtover I wouldn't call the original air intake a "straw" as engineers design the engine for thus truck. The original box and filter are pretty large. California DMV emissions are pretty picky when they see a modification. They often fail vehicles with cold air intakes. I used to have a Honda with a cold air intake. I'd have to swap back to stock intake every few years to pass the visual inspection at the smog center. This unit appears to have a CA approved sticker but I think the smog center can still give you a hard time

[@DavidNarita]

Lol suck ratios!! 🤣🤣🤣 awesome install video!

[@Dagrootx]

FrontierLife.Club heheh. I’m still a child!

[@DavidNarita]

@@Dagrootx aren't we all? Lol we still like to tinker with our vehicles like they're rc cars or erector sets hahaha

[@hornetsboy5485]

Sorry for late comment post but are these intakes good for daily driver and better good gas mileage ? I have 2015 frontier

[@Dagrootx]

Totally fine for daily. You prob won’t see much of a fuel mileage improvement though.

[@hornetsboy5485]

@@Dagrootx Oh I have also have Flowmaster super 44 too wonder if can handle same speed with afe momentum intake for my truck or what you suggest for other intake for flowmaster super 44 ?

[@johnrommelt6560]

Does anyone Performanc Tune the New Nissans 3.8 L?

[@kennethhuff7158]

Want to make it a little quicker on the get up and go , put a throttle control on it.

[@jackgleeson9522]

Jist a tip... you should never power wash the top of your engine like that. Try a spray cleaner degreaser and rags. You could get water into a lot of places that will ruin your day....

[@Bikepro4x]

What did you spray to clean your engine?

[@Dagrootx]

Jonathan Elswood just some gunk engine cleaner.

[@scottfelts6785]

Any improvement on gas mileage?

[@Dagrootx]

About 1mpg ish.

[@swiley223]

Same gain as an oil change or a fresh coat of wax....

[@martyrafter5588]

That's what she said @6:35

[@crisikingful]

Afe vs volant 🤔

[@Dagrootx]

crisikingful I chose AFE because of its seal and fit and finish.

[@crisikingful]

@@Dagrootx ah I see
