Let me just put mine name on the list for people that really like this cheap but impressive mod! This is a must modification, too bad it didn't come from the factory.

Also installed the JWT intake. Slight sound increase at idle but a definite added growl in the 3500 to 5000 rpm range. Sounds nice not harsh. Not sure if it really added that much power, probably the growl making me think I was going faster.

Both installed pretty easily. I didn’t have a torque wrench so that was an extra $20. The air box was a little difficult to get out, but a tug and a screwdriver to get the gasket to let go did the trick!

Next install sill plates, then rear sway bar or springs not sure yet. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the help

 

I'll cast my vote for the rear sway bar.

 

I vote RSB also!

 

me three on the rsb

 

OK, sounds like the RSB is the winner. I've seen many posts that the stillen is actually better(bushings?) and doesn't make the thunking noise. Who sells stillen? Do I have to go directly to them?

Thanks

 

Here's a dumb question - I'm too lazy to read my
warrantee: Does something like the FSTB invalidate
the warrantee(s) on your Maxima? I'm guessing that
modifying your engine probably does, but the FSTB
doesn't seem as clear an infraction.

Any thoughts?

 

did you have any fitment issues with the courtesy fstb? did anything have to be modified for the unit to fit?

 

I have the Courtesy bar on for a week and did the install. The two rear bolts are extremely hard to tighten due to placement under bar. Nothing needs cutting or modification though. Use a box wrench for rears and tighten others to 35 psi with Torque Bar .

You will get more vibration in pedals due to road imperfections. Makes front extremely tight and wheel spin easily. It got rid of a small popping sound I had when backing up with wheels cocked. I think its for the better personally.

 

Thanks for the info.
