Wow... that car is beautiful. The wheels fit the wells perfectly and the muffler is real nice (I usually hate aftermarket mufflers). Are you going to get clears? They would look great on your car.

Thanks Weasel for the compliment. I'm going to get clears when I get the stillen aero kit. By then, I'll be done with the exterior mods. I think?

Thanks again for the reply...

Magnaflow

Hey, love the car man. I was just wondering how you like the magnaflow? Im sure it is welded in place of your old muffler, so you still have a factory cat-bask right? As far as the sound? How much it cost you? And where ya get it from? Sorry about the drill, but im jsut really interested in Magnaflow now.

Your not drilling me at all. First, thanks for the compliment. Second the Magnaflow was welded in place of my old muffler and I do have the factory cat-back or is it called bask? I'm really new to the whole exhaust thing. It sounds sweet, but on the freeway at 60-70mph with RPMs at 2500, man it's annnnoyyying. It's a constant bass sound. You just have to get used to it. This muffler should cost between $170 to $200 depending on the one you get. Because mine was a dual/double wall tip, it cost $200. The install was $30. Go to www.magnaflow.com and they'll let you know who to go to. Good luck..

I'm really glad I went with the 19's as well. I was thinking of the 18's, but with that style of wheel my 18's would have looked like 17's. 19's fit the wheel fine and it's not a bad ride either. The Wheels are ADR X-Factors and they were really inexpensive. That wheel only comes in a 19X8.

Tom, the car looks awesome. Damn those wheels might look good on mine. I've been looking at wheels lately and i was looking at Borbet's but those really look good. Did you order them online or what? That muffler really look's sweet too.

I was scared that they would, but they don't at all. It's not that small of a side wall. I'm one of those guys that spent the money a long time ago buying the 15's but really wanting 16's and then after spending all that cash, getting 17's. This was on a Audi Quattro back in the early 90's. So this time around I went straight to the 19's, with a little research though. With a great Org. like this, you could always sell your wheels if you don't like them. Nothings permanent. Good luck and Thanks for the compliment.

wheel weight?

How much heavier do you think your new rims are compared to the stock ones you replaced?? How about compared to the 17" stock wheels??

Thanks silvermaxd for the compliment. These wheels would look sweet on your silver max. I ordered them from a local tire shop. Go to adrwheels.com and call them up. They'll locate a dealer for you. Don't pay more than $350 a piece for these wheels. Good luck.. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask...

I suppose you have the perfect Maxima because its a GXE with exhaust and rims upgrade! I suppose you will lower your car, maybe you already have!

Having differential like the SE would be better though!

Hey tomI30, you got a hell of a nice & sweeeeeeeeet car. You just convince me on 19" they look awesome, did you go with 245/30/19 ? What brand of tire did you bought ? if you dont mind how much did you spend for the combo ?

After looking at your car, I feel that my 2001 se 20th with 17" look mean.

Congratulation and care your babe.(be carefull with pothole)

Cheers

Thanks for the compliment DoubleA. I went with 235/35/19's Nitto Extreme 555. The whole set up with tires and wheels cost $2000. Good luck and thanks for the compliment.

I wish I knew how to do a wave file like kev. I'm really not to worried about bending the rims. There's good side wall on the 235/35/19's. Thanks for the compliment though.

Do you have a Canadian max LoveSick? Otherwise I doubt you're packing the LSD you think you are.

...man, looking at your car....i'm REALLY thinking about getting a spoiler. The muffler looks good too, keeps the round design consistent with the rear of the maxima.

Now time for those SE Taillamps! 8129423% improvement (approximate)

SCCA,

Get the spoiler....My next purchase will be the SE Taillamps.. And then the Stillen Aero Kit. I'm waiting to see what Stillen is going to do with the front bumper. Thanks again for the props...
