Re: 03 Maxima Upgrades
if you're gonna get a ypipe, might as well get the hotshot headers, they include a y pipe. 18 fwhp gains, that's my next venture if i could only find a place with a soundclip to make sure it's not too obnoxious with a cat-back. an intake is the first thing you should buy. the car sounds sick at 4K rpm and it gives it a little more pep.

Re: 03 Maxima Upgrades
stillen is shitty and makes false claims, but hotshot is supposed to be definite gains. you can get 18 whp from a 4th gen y pipe, but you're at around 8-12 on a 5th gen+.
the reason for such drastic gain on a 4th gen is that there are two precats on the y pipe that are removed when an aftermarket y is installed. this frees up the exhaust a lot. on the 5th gens these precats are on the headers not the y pipe. the new headers are lighter and mch more free flowing. ym only worry is the noise factor. my 4th gen with y pipe&cat-back was really really loud, from what yskevse on the ORG says they sound good with an exhaust system but i wanna hear it for myself before i spend 600-something dollars.

Re: 03 Maxima Upgrades
Frankencar exhaust doesn't sound that loud, that's what I'm gonna go with. Headers, man, too many debates still going on, I would prefer to see some numbers instead of sound actually. especially for that price. btw, some mat, if y-pipe gives you 12 whp, headers give about 18, right?
$300 for 12 horser $600 for 18 Doesn't add up...
