Intake/exhaust changes

Right now I'm running a Stillen intake and muffler. B4 you all jump in I bought them years ago when they were really the only people makin stuff for Max's.

Anyway, I like the way the car drives, but I want more power. I'm really at the peak of how much noise I can take though (it does sound good at WOT). I was thinking of getting a Frankencar mid-pipe. Can I use this with the Stillen filter? Also thinking of getting a Budget y-pipe and putting my stock muffler back on. Any thoughts?

The stillen is the loudest muffler in existance for the maxima, I can imagine you couldn't take any more noise. And yes, all those ideas are good, for even more ideas:

Well here is my opinion. I have a stillen intake w/ mid pipe (top part of a CAI, but the same thing as frankencar anyways)budget y pipe and b pipe w/ magnaflow resonator and a stillen muffler. It's loud to say the least, but not too much for me. The stock muffler will keep everything quiet for the most part, but it's a waste of money if you spent all that for the stillen. It's all a personal preference, my car isnt too loud for me but you probably think it's ridiculous. So yes the franken car will fit fine, it will make a slight amount of added noise thought, but nothing much. If you have any ?'s just pm me.

Its really not too loud for me, it's the girl. But you gotta pick your battles, right? I like the way it sounds except when I'm cruising between 2 - 3K, which is unfortunately where I spend a lot of time, when the pedal is not on the floor.
