Sigh...

- If you want to know which is the best Maxima, then its a fully loaded SE model. There is the base GXE model, then the luxury GLE model, and finally, the Sport Edition SE model. Frankly, with a fully loaded SE, you can get all of the options that the GLE offers, plus a "sport tuned" suspension and a MANUAL TRANSMISSION. That's why it is the best of the line up.
- If you want to know what the best car in the world is, that depends on your own preference. I'd take a Ferrari 550 Maranello, personally. Sweet V-12 power, gorgeous styling, Ferrari exclusivity, world class civility - or sport, and did I mention how gorgeous it was?

CAT not car!

I think that a 2.5" RT cat might be the best bet although testing will still be the determining factor. I don't know if anyone has compared a 2.5" cat to a 3" cat on the same car to see what the differences are. Might be interesting, but I don't have the funds to do that now. I prototyped and tested the 3" cat on my car and gained 6hp and 17ft-lbs of torque to the wheels.

Re: CAT not car!

-Oops!!!
- That would be, uh, my bad. That's also probably why the text made no sense compared to what I read on the title. Sorry guys!

- But, yes, I do agree with the RT cat being the best. Carsound makes one, but a few people have complained of their products deteriorating after a few years.
- If you gained that much out of the 3" piping, that is incredible! Most people have been getting, like, 2-3hp from the 2.5" RT cats. Wow. Was that power you gained measured at the wheels or at the flywheel? What other exhaust mods have you done?
