2003 Maxima. Help?

Hey everyone. I've had my 03 Maxima GLE for about three months. Love it, but I want more. I have been reading alot about the y-pipe, but is it available for my car. Would you guys recomend getting A JWT pop charger air intake or a clod air intake? What else can I do to this car to get it from 255hp, closer to 300HP without spending that much money?

300 HP is a pretty big jump considering that we probably don't really get 255 HP, more like 240 I think. And the "without spending much money" part will probably limit your options. Cross your fingers and hope the Stillen headers come out sometime in the next year, I remember reading that they were going to give gains of 25 HP or more.

Stillen HDRS = 16HP if your lucky.

Full intake with mid pipe; catback; headers; UDP; lighter wheels = 30-40WHP.

Still way under 300 crank HP.

Thanks for your input! What would you recommend, a cold air intake or a JWT pop charger air intake? Is there that much difference in performance? Thanks,
Jonathan
