I have and 2000 GLE and was wonder where or if someone could give me some I want to do a y pipe with a turn out and kept the rest of the exhaust stock. Also I have been reading about the Technos ECU has anyone here did an before and after dyno run.
What is the best hp to price mod that can be made to the Maxima

horsepower is over-rated......handling and suspension is where it is 
suspension/handling mods are used every time you turn a corner, change lanes, or hit a bump. Extra horsepower rarely comes into play unless racing is involved.....
but the single best horsepower mod you can do to a 2000 maxima is trade it in and get a 2002 maxima (+43 hp)

the most restrictive part of an exhaust is a catalytic converter. the y-pipe replaces the pre-cats but does nothing about the main cat. a high flow cat and y-pipe combo would do quite a bit. also remember there is no use in getting more air out if you cant get it in. gains are so much more substantial if you do both intake and exhaust.
also like stated above peak HP and TQ dont mean much. the area under the curves is what is important, so watch for parts that list peak HP gains and check for some dynos in the dyno discussions

Best bang for the buck: Y-pipe
Easiest to install: Cold Air Intake (took me 30 min for my Injen)
For about $250 you can add about 15hp to a 2000 with an intake. no idea how much pwr or cost for a Y-pipe.

Please inform me of where I might find an intake that will add 15 hp. I think 15 is more along the lines of what to expect from the Y-pipe.
Get a Place Racing cold air intake and a decent Y-pipe for 20 hp give or take a little.

I don't think so... I checked Edmunds and its the same as an 02... 255/246 for hp/tq...
If we're talking whp then maybe Nissan rectified the fact that many 02s were more like approx 205 whp (est. 240 crank) and now the 03s have approx 215 whp (est. 255 crank). Although some stock 02s have been dynoed at 214-218 whp...
another neverending debate.... So basically I'm saying the listed crank hp numbers don't really tell us much until the car is actually dynoed.... go to the Dyno forums and you'll see some discussion on this...

Btw before we get on the topic of intakes all over again... here is something from the FAQs for y'all....

Well, somebody had to set a few things straight on this thread (besides Puppetmaster 
):
1.) 02 Maxima = 255HP
00 Maxima = 222HP
------
33HP difference, not 43HP
2.) 04 Maxima has 265HP, not 03(which has 255HP)
3.) Injen is NOT a CAI.
4.) Injen will NOT give you 15HP.
5.) Last but not least, Horsepower is NEVER over rated. It's why we drive our
Maxima's, instead of 4 banger Honda's or Camry's

YUP! I agree 100%. I think Place Racing is a true CAI.

Did the Intake! Did the Y-Pipe! Did the rear section with HKS and now I am going back to stock to regain the torque that all these aftermarket parts took away. Who cares if the car has a higher top speed, I want around the around town punch that the Max used to have.

With regards to hp... both the 02 and 03 have 255 hp, as I posted up top...

you can't compare dyno plots off a manufacturer's website. No intake could possibly give you 15hp to the wheels, this has been proven by org members time and time again with dynos.
and injen is not considered a true CAI because it sits relatively behind the maxima's radiator, which is definitely NOT cold air coming through

(BTW: I'm not particular to the Injen by any means. I just don't see a difference between that or any other CAI).

As for the difference between "that" or any other CAI... Larrio already said it... it sits behind the radiator....

thread paraphrased:
How much horse power for x mod???

I'm better then you, no i am... what?
I took no side... but why is this such a typical thing here. Why don't we all just chillout and stop taking ourselves so seriously.
