Which Mod is better...??

Waz up...!!I need some help..!! Curently I am thinking of purchasing 2 mods for my 02 Maxima But, I need help in picking the the better brand..

The 2 Mods are 1. the Racing Headers and Y-pipe supplied by Custommaxima.com or the one supplied by Stillen.???

Then there is 2. The CustomMaxima.com Nismo Camshafts or the Stillen CAMSHAFT S1 BILLET SET (VQ35DE) which I belive is the cam shaft from the 350z..????

Decisions Decisions.... Can anyone tell me which one I should go with which one is better and produces the best performance output...???

Thanks

You must me making some major bank there bud.

Get the Cattman Headers.

As for the cams, someone on here has some type, but they made a pretty big loss in torque, and not too much gain in HP, I think he put down 246 while wiht only a A/F controller(+ other mods, not cams) SR20DEN got 250+ wheel hp.

the cams for the 350z and max are the same so the aftermarket ones you are referring to are not the cms from the Z. Personally I would go with the cams if you got the money... Headers are noisy and the more mods you add the more the cams will come to life (In a much bigger way than the headers IMO). SR20 also has a modified intake manifold that he gained around 10WHP with.

i dont think hat nissans stock intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, or heads for the maxima are really efficient enough for a cam that allows more air......... i would go with anything to try to increase the efficiency of the airflow in and out of the engine first, like headers and an intake or something cause even with the aftermarket cams you will be falling on your face if you cant get all that extra a/f mixture in and out of the engine first
