Newbie alert!!! (please be kind)

ok, I have been a long time lurker and have not posted much, but I was thinking of doing a few things to my 2000 Max SE. I was thinking brakes (the judder problem is p*s*ing me off) and maybe intake first. Maybe exhaust. Only problem is I don't want it that much louder. Any recommendations? I listened to the FC Exhaust sound clip down the board and thought it sounded ok (not real high pitch). Would an intake w/o the FC show much HP gains? Or would adding an intake w/o the exhaust be like buying a billboard and putting it in you basement?

Thanks.

For the brakes, you might want to hold out for this-- http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....1&page=2&pp=30
Matt93SE is making a kit with a bracket for using stock 5th gen calipers, but with a 6th gen rotor (bigger, shouldn't warp as easily).
If this works out perfectly, it will be some good stuff.
There are other Big Brake Kits available for the 5th gens, although the better ones require 18" wheels (for 4-piston calipers) I think...
