Which FSB to buy?

Whats the most preferred FSB so many choices whats a Max Fan to choose. I am just now starting to customize my car and would like some advice on Franken car intakes and their cat back system looks awesome and $ is right too.
Thanks.

Your not goint to notice much of a difference with any of them. Your best bet is to get a RSB. Cheap mod and VERY noticeable. It's the best price/performance mod available for our cars. Scrap the FrankenCar intake and get in or the Berk Intake group deal going on right now. It's that same design, it's cheaper, it looks alot better and the silicone couplers are much better than the radiator hose that FrankenCar uses. FrankenCar won't return your calls and their customer service is horrible. I have both. Both intakes give indentical performance.

I don't know? In the benz or the bimmer and accord, acura, and the altima world they swap the factory thin stuff with heavy duty ones, For RSb and FTSB,any bars they put on. They say it makes a big difference. then again they didn't put any on the maxima, putting on a light duty is better than nothing.

depends on what you going for. If just performance and no looks ebay which is like 15-20 or just aluminum you could do an otto 40-50 or there are custommaxima in red, blue, or polished for like 80 shipped. Then you have the top of the line Stillen or the Titanium Cattman
Hope this helps

i bought the fstb from custom maxima.com for my 2k1 Max .. it eliminated most of the body roll in the front end... after i add the rear sway bar,, my max will have virtually no body roll sitting on stock suspension.. it will be handling on rails when i get around to the suspension..

Stillen is the best. the name and the look is what is plus. But the price is too much.

I have no idea of other vehicles with exception of the Altima and Maxima and both of them will hardly notice a difference with FSTB. I have the Stillen. There is a noticeable difference, but the RSB made a HUGE difference.
