Just so you know, on something like a maxima, Intake, exhaust, and chip MIGHT give you 20-25 WHP all together, which you likely will not be able to notice. There may be some exceptions and if so I'm sure people will point them out for you in later posts. If the car had a V8 or some turbos, then the above mods would give you much greater gains. That is a massive waste of cash in my opinion. Save your money and put it into some rims or a nice set of coilovers, or perhaps a proper stereo (i.e. no crap like rockford). I also personally think yellow fogs look horrendous, but it isn't my car. For tint, I would go with 35% all round. Its not too dark, still looks good, won't attract attention from the cops, and you can see out of it no problem at night. Any % of tint (non-factory) is illegal. For visual things, if you like it, then it is a good choice. It's your car.

A Y-pipe on these cars has been known to yield an average of 15hp alone, and it's very inexpensive. The classic route people go with the 96-prior models is to upgrade to 97-98 bumpers, stillen lip kit, springs/shocks, cefiro headlights, tint, wheels, etc. They all look pretty much the same after a while lol. Check out maxima.org, it's a pretty good resource for the 5th gen. I'd just slap on some g35 wheels, lips, lower it, and call it a day.

Get intake first, it sounds amazing!
Then get cattman headers, stillen Y-Pipe, and a good catback system.

Then I would have bought the stillen Supercharger.

One of my friends in Calgary has the supercharger and is around 275WHP, and one of them has nitrous and just about every bolt on part and is probly around the same power!

Enjoy your maxima. I still miss mine some days!

I've always been a fan of the Catman y-pipe and catback.

The best site to go for your Maxima needs is maxima.org

supercharge it for the win!
save the cash on the other things!

what color is your max?
and by the way, don't be gay like some maxima.org owners
and remove the backseats to decrease the car's weight.
They treat it like a 4 door coupe...

I have taken the back seat out for stereo installs, on my old one. I drove it to get some parts and it felt like I just cut the weight in half, I don't know why that would make them gay!:banghead:

they do it to be cool and 'reduce weight' ... its not, you're driving a 4 door and its gay to make a 4 door car a coupe with 4 doors.

dont get cefiro headlights... if you want one piece you can buy ones made for the 95 maximas. withte cefiro's you have to cut stuff away, and are left with a awkward gap.

i have a magnaflo euxaust and a CAI on my 95' 5spd, makes it sound so mean, yet not loud and annoying.

a Y pipe would show the biggest yield in power for cheap.

i would suggest registering on maxima.org, lots of info on there.

heres a link to a part on the forum with simple mods for the car

enjoy the car, they are nice rides.

Because you have a 5spd, CAI, y-pipe, JWT/TS ECU w/ 7,200rpm rev limit OR E-Manage, MEVI or 00vi upper intake manifold. It'll be a beast.

I'd upgrade the brakes in some capacity (ie: 300zx caliper/13" cobra rotor bbk or q45 caliper/13" cobra bbk).
