do those things hold up? they all look like they wouldn't do crap. also, what's a decent sounding (not too loud) & priced muffler/catback for a 97 max? ebay's got a rack of those $30 bumblebee tuna cans too... crap...

I don't see why the strut bars would be crap. They all serve the same purpose...stabilization. some might be expensive 'cause they are brand name. I have a no nome strut bar...and it has held up for a couple of years. as for the exhaust...save more money and get yourself an Apexi,Stillen or OBX..lotsa of people are trying out the OBX and have had good reviews about it.

got a ebay fstb from pro car parts and it is fine.
they all serve the same purpose. as long as the bar produces tension between the strut towers. If you care that much about looks get something different

But, I'll say it and say it again...
GET ES FSB and END-LINK BUSHINGS FOR YOUR MAX. I notice A very big improvement in all areas of handling and the car feels way more solid. Great buy for only 30 bucks

Energy Suspension does not actually make a end-link kit for our cars but if you get a hold of courtesy nissan, they sell the end-link ES bushings for something like 20 bucks shipped, and you can get the part number for the sway bar bushings from energy suspension. they are like 10 bucks.

I got ripped off buying a $25 strut bar from e-bay.
The bracket bolts that bolt it to the bar were cross threaded and forced in.
I got another from e-bay, and it's been installed for for 1 year now. Tighter
feel when turning at high speeds.
