First :: the mesh that everyone uses for the grill is gutter guard, correct? Would it look good as well if i used this for any of the other holes like behind the license plate part? ( my fog lights have been busted so i was also thinking of filling the gap with this for now..) I found a place that sells a bundle of 18 pieces that are each 36'' long for 15 bucks [ thats a lot of gutter guard! lol ]

Second :: My warpspeed y-pipe and catback came in today and am having it installed very very soon... How much of a difference is these two going to do to my max from stock ? I've never driven a max with any mods but a muffler and an intake!

Third :: My car is throwing 2 knock sensor codes...once i replace this will i get the feel of my max's performance back? Should go great along with the ehxaust...perfect timing.



Thx ahead of time for anyone who takes the time to reply and give a fellow .org member some input! I love having such a good community...

 

1] using the gutter guard on all the openings in the front clip will look good as long as it's done right

2]from what i have heard the y-pipe will make a fairly noticeable difference mainly in mid to high end.

3] replacing the KS will give you a better perfomance feel to an extent...you won't notice much of a difference to make you go "wow"

 

I put mesh in my foglight holes bc the stock fogs got stolen..and the brackets and wiring inside look like ****. Painted the mesh with the charcoal wheel paint I had left over to hide the mesh.

after


Youll feel the car pull quicker above like 4.5k rpm with a ypipe..

 

no, y-pipe starts to pull above 3.5k rpm

lol alrite i'll help him out a bit more now.

getting an aftermarket exhaust system will not fix your KS problem. first of all, read this thread and understand and choose ur solution to fix ur KS problem >> http://forums.maxima.org/showpost.ph...3&postcount=42

i suggest replacing a new KS, then get install ur aftermarket exhaust to feel the full performance gain.
