What would you do?
I just purchased my second max, I have spent 900 do far on rims, lights, intake, and a deck. But I am really wanting better performance. I have $500 set aside for performance (hp) and I wana get the most out of my money, in order what are the best mods for that. And if u have a combo of a few things I could get for the 500$ that would be great, just tryin to get the most bang for my buck

Ok cool, I called a muffler shop and they said on nissans they have pinched the muffler from 2 inches too 1, in the back of the stock exhaust, they said they could cut that out and add in 2 inch piping for $40. They said it will increase horsepower by a decent amount. Has anyone heard of this?

Yes you will see those gains.
well people need to get their facts straight then, because i asked about my 4th gen fed spec y-pipe and whether i should sell it or keep it since its brand new, and i asked arent they out of production? and everyone responded oh no you can still get them made today you just need 10 other buyers. so which is it because when we did that final group buy he said himself that was the last chance for anyone to get a new y-pipe.

You could probably get a ebay headers and/or catback and maybe an aftermarket air intake, then you'll have to save for the installation. You can't get much done for $500 especially when you want to most gains possible. Unless you're really good with DIY mods there's always the installation cost which my be a few hundred dollars

the last response you got seems most like how it is. with stock catback you get a deeper grumble with a ypipe, but nothing too loud. its not ricey, that comes with a fartcan along with a cheap ypipe.

Spencer -
We don't have all the answers for you here man. Search youtube and you'll get some clips.
Are you modding your car for YOU, or for your judgmental friends?
Will you sound like a Ricer? NO. Especially with stock exhaust. Stock mufflers do a wonderful job! YOU WILL sound like a ricer if you go 3" straight pipe and fart-can muffler. But if you're only talking a y pipe (with or without spacers), you will be slightly louder but not at all obnoxious.

Sorry for all of the questions, aha and yeah I guess modding it for me is a great point haha thanks. I guess I'll know exactly what it will sound like in a week and a half when it comes lol

I currently have a warpspeed y (wrapped with DEI titanium wrap) and a test pipe from them (just call them and they'll make it for you). the rest of my exhaust is stock including the muffler. When I drive like a normal person, I hear no increase in sound whatsoever. If I stomp on it, it does get loud, but not obnoxious or ricey.
In fact, my brother makes fun of me saying my car is a hybrid now...
The reason my catback is stock for now is I'm waiting to either purchase a ready made system or weld the mandrel bends I ordered to a Apexi WS2 muffler, whichever will come out cheaper.
