Catback exhaust... even an ebay one will gain you a few hp...and a ypipe those are a bit more costly...around 200-375 pendin where you go but.offer the best bang for your buck imo... aside from that get a grounding kit.if youre automatic itll provide better shift time and throttle response and shift smoother...

Have you searched the site much. These answers and more are awaiting your eyes if you just try the search button. Be creative with your search words and you will be surprised what you come up with. Go read the "How to" thread and the NOOB thread as well. Otherwise you will get flamed or just no response.

false, the 4th gen maxima does not "sound" when you activate the alarm, only the lights flash (unless you have done the "alarm beep mod").

Check the "LED" link in my sig. That is a very easy thing to do and pretty cheap. I've LED'd almost all of my lights for under $30

^^ probably not a factory alarm if it's ever honked ^^


Grounding kit: Search around the forums for them, but basically, they are a bunch of big-azz wires that attach to several points in your engine bay. What they actually DO, is provide a new, clean GROUND for the vehicle's electrical system. Folks who have these installed in older cars may notice brighter headlights, better shifts, windows go up/down faster, etc...

+1 on LEDs, at least the door/map/trunk to get started.

+1099238387 on searching and reading through the FAQ thread...it's got an entire post, actually, on cheap mods!

Didnt think about an AM alarm.

and yes OP you really need to search, there are hundreds of threads on modding, and sure we can tell you all kinds of stuff..but it's your car, mod it how YOU want, not to please others.
