Matt93SE,
Please humor me and leave this post up. I actually e-mailed this guy. Apparently we don't know jack about Maximas.
My e-mail:
"Your list of modifications are minimal at best. A single turbo VG makes 230 horsepower.
You have maybe 175 hp. Get real. Better yet. Post a dyno run. "
His response:
"Check with Greddy. They claim to gain 25-30HP with cat-back system.
I never dyno'ed the car. The car beats 97' BMW 528i (190HP), 1997 Maxima (190HP).
"Jet performance" claims a gain of 30HP on an ECU upgrade. Where did you get 175 from?"

follow up
well, hope you don't hate me for adding to the thread. this should be my last ebay maxima contribution. i'm sure this might be locked down because it's only sole purpose is to inform others of the lack of gains they can expect from these mods. here's his follow up...
<B>
Well, lets think of it together.
Free flow exhaust system "cat-back" adds around 20HP,
Air intake system that is routed outside of the engine compartment and does infect bring in cool air 15HP.
Computer chip 25-30HP.
Catalytic converter taken out from the exhaust allowing better exhaust flow - 10HP
Wider Y-pipe 3" stock is 2.5" (goes out of manifold and connects to catalytic converter) -10HP
That's 240HP.
