As many of you know I previously stated interest in selling/parting out my car. I've made some decisions and am now going to see what the options for me are. Anyways, my main reason for doing this is actually the fact that I think I'm moving to a different step in my life. One focused more on business, and less on cars and stuff. I love my Maxima, but driving clients in it is sometimes embarrassing due to it's loudness, rough ride, and inability to access certain areas due to its height. I'm going to do one of the following soon:

-Part the Maxima out and keep it as a stock loaded 5spd
-Find someone to straight up trade my mod'd Maxima for a loaded SE or I30(t) of newer model year and less mileages
-Find someone to trade my mod'd maxima for a similarly equipped stock maxima or I30 and have them give me some cash for the mods.

Currently I really don't want another car other than the maxima/i30 line, but I am open to other offerings. However, at this point I'm focussing my financial energy on business and not on the car so I really don't want to spend more money being that my first option would warrant me money after the car has been part'd out. There are no cars for less money that come close to the maxima/i30.

If you are interested in trading, or know someone that is (it's not really trading due to used car tax, but basically I sell you mine, you sell me yours) please let me know.

Please do not post, "I got first dibs on the exhaust if you part out." or anything like that because they just flood the post. I will post at a later date what I'm offering if that's the choice I make.

I dislike this idea

I think your ride looks phat man, you should keep it together. What you're complaining of is easily fixable.

Get rid of the muffler, put on the stocker. Majority of noise = fixed. Get some H&R's, and boom. 99% driveable, nowhere near as bumpy, and fairly quiet until you put the hammer down.

It's a fantastic car for driving other people in, yours looks really .. REALLY low though. Mines noisy, but still at the stock height, and I'm always pumping tunes out, so it's hardly noticeable.

Hey if I my I30 was paid off Id offer you a trade. You have a way nice car. Just throw some different shocks on and stock muffler like the other guy said.

Hey Brian, you wouldn't be interested in a stock 97 auto GXE and some cash now would you?

Yeah I may do that because it seems to be an easy way out. Does anyone know where I can get the Apex WS Muffler only. I'll throw it on my already modified Greddy Piping and then sell the greddy muffler as just a muffler. The H&R's ride pretty nice I hear, I may go with that. Anyone have pics of a H&R lowered Maxima with 17's and stillen kit?

I think with that exhaust configuration it would still be loud.. if your looking for near stock sound i would go with just the hks muffler... put the stock b pipe back on. Spray a sealer onto the muffler and you will never have a problem w/ it rusting like some people say. I have this configuration and it is absolutly perfect for what i want. No ricer blah or anything just a deep almost unnoticable tone until 2500 rpm then nothing after that. I have riden in an HR/Tok combo and must say it is very near stock ride. Clearance isnt as much of an issue with these springs, but the look isnt as good as other setups.. like yours.

ya i would definetly just get some h/r's and change out the catback to a apexi ws catback and if you really want to go to a OSCAI and it will be quiet and ride good. keep your car the way it is.

here are some pics with just the front lip... no its not slammed like your car... but the ride quality is very good. Also its higher so you dont have to worry about hitting things as often... i should have the rest of the kit on soon and can show you what that looks like if youd like..... also i emailed you a few days ago...
