NDI(Nissan Design International)32 hp advance explanation
#1
For 2000, the engine has been refined through use of new intake and exhaust manifolds, Nissan Variable Induction System (NVIS) air intake control with a resin intake collector, new equal length exhaust pipes and the addition of a new variable capacity muffler derived from the one on the high performance Nissan Skyline GT-R. A special muffler flap valve, using high temperature aerospace spring technology and materials, opens at 2,000-2,400 rpm and above - reducing exhaust system backpressure. These changes help increase the engine's horsepower from 190 to 222 and torque from 205 ft-lbs to 217 ft-lbs.
The Maxima's DOHC 24-valve V6 continues to utilize micro-finished crank journals and cam lobes, molybdenum coated pistons, digital knock control, six coils (one per spark plug) and a cross flow coolant pattern. Additional refinements for 2000 include a new programmable engine control module (located inside the passenger compartment to increase reliability), a larger air intake chamber, a thicker radiator and new cooling fans and a new four-point engine mount design with two liquid filled (manual transmission) or electronically (automatic transmission) controlled fluid mounts for reduced vibration.

I mentioned that muffler in an older thread and said I didn't know what I was talking about? I had seen them advertised for the Max in a magazine and I've got the poster somewhere just didn't look for it. That's the muffler I wanted to get and was told didn't exist. URRGH!
