Go for it...but maybe you should go with the Frankencar because it gives you the most power.

If you're going to do the intake, go with the Berk. Bryan provides great customer service and in contrast to Frankencar, you'll probably get your intake some time this year. Check the Group Deal forum...there is a deal on the Berk right now.

Berk Intake and definately the first mod should be a Y pipe for your year maxima.

Get a y-pipe. Even a catback exhaust won't give you much hp.

for the most power - oscai and ypipe
if you want pretty, get an aftermarket intake.
