Maxima wheels

I'm new to the org. I have a 2002 6 speed SE. The only mod it has is a Frankencar intake. I want it to go faster, handle better and look nicer. I am wondering if there is a light racing wheel that I can get to replace the somewhat heavy OEM wheels. Also, I want to put a catback exhaust system on the car. What produces the best gains in HP. Anyone heard of the Stromung system? That is what my NISMO dealer wants to sell me. Any help would be appreciated.

never heard of stromung system
personally im going with greddy.....it has a very nice tone...G35 coupe like

to handle better Eibachs springs are your best bet....with a rear sway bar and FSTB you will be good to go

also i would sell that frankencar and go with a berk intake

The Frankencar and Berk intakes are pretty much the same. Berk looks better and may be cheaper, but I doubt it will give you any gains over the Berk. If you already have the FC, then keep it. I thought about getting Berk, but was told that it wouldn't make much difference. The polished midpipe looks better and customer service is much better, otherwise why spend the money for no gains. Just my .02.

The question 'which intake is the best' has been beaten to death before and I don't recall ever seeing anything that would indicate one was even the slightest bit "better" than the other. Perhaps customer service, but that's just b/c the FC's are always out of stock so alot of us had to wait a while to get 'em.

im not saying BERK is the best
i jstu said its better then frankencar
and also i saw a thread awhile back with dynos of all the intakes avaible and i went with a WAI because it showed the most gains
granted it was only liek 5 or 7 hp but better then 2 or 3hp
