IS IT All worth it?

Hi I was wondering if all that work that went into installing an 00vi onto a 99 and below model year vq30de worth it?
Like does the car feel that much faster or better responsively? Also when installing one does the ecu throw cel's at you left and right!
I couldnt stand it with my max's ecu when I redid the exhaust, especially eliminating the cat! Sorry for all those people that hate seeing the 00vi bug arise, but its one of the hottest topics for a 4th gen max! Also on car websites the specs ar quite diffirent for the motors! Even though they have the same motor! What else is diffrient on a 5th gen motor than a 4th gen other than the intake? Also when did Nissan put in the 6 speed gearbox in the max? Was it 5th gen?

Internals, slightly different exhaust cam.

Read, not post in, the all-motor section. They cover alot of 00VI related issues.

1. yes
2. yes
3. no
4. cams are different, but not by much. it's mainly the intake manifold.
5. 2002, 5th gen maxima.
