what are ways to make the 4th Generation faster than stock besides an engine swap, turbo kit, or cold air intake? im trying to hook my max to the max performance, but at the same time not trying to go too crazy

 

If even a cold air intake is too much for you, then I think you gotta start ripping out your backseat and ditch the spare. There's nothing much you can do that's simpler than a CAI.

 

no i already got a cold air, what else can i do?

 

Y-pipe and start to work on handling too. Our Maxes aren't too bad with power, but the handling is garbage.

 

Try searching a little, this question has been answered 100x your post count

"im trying to hook my max to the max performance, but at the same time not trying to go too crazy"
Doesn't that contradict itself? Read the faq's and stickies.

 

That statement = I'm broke, but I'd like something like the Ebay chip... does it really add 15HP?

 

^^^^^ ahahahah LOL!
Yeah get a Y-Pipe, it adds a lot of HP and it's not too expensive.

 

will my muffler get loud from that, because i wouldn't want that

 

^ if you read your stickys and search then you would know the answer. but just to throw you a bone. most Y's wont give you a loud muffler. about 15 ppl out of maybe 500 ppl said they got bees in a can, which is a noise in the muffler but your odds are slim.

 

00vi and ecu upgrade, do the search for 00vi

 

nitrous baby, come on u live in bk, you dont go out to flat lands or greenpoint? or what about lyndn? they got crazy turbod maxes out there.. talk to some of those guys, and check out there cars

 

... maybe you meant the flex section .... not the muffler ...

 

i think he meant that little rumble you hear from the stock exhaust at idle

 

... Ok ...

 

my y-pipe made my exhaust significantly louder...but thats wut u get wit a k-mart muffler, lol...

 

a CAI makes your car faster? crap thats next on my wish list then.

 

The first mistake you made was to buy a nice 98 Maxima SE with an autotragic transmission.
