As far as exhaust what are you looking for?
If you are looking for top end power go with a Y-pipe and some sort of intake. I had a Stillen pop charger and took it off because I didn't like it. However, after I installed the Stillen Y-pipe I decided to reinstall the intake and it actually made the car run stronger than with the Y-pipe alone. I did however bogg around town a little bit meaning I lost that jump from the light feeling.
I then decided to install an HKS rear section and the sound went through the roof. It kinda sounded like a V6 pickup truck with a muffler, loud and boggy. I was in the process of removing the HKS and decided to remove the Y-pipe instead to see how the car would drive.
Wow what a difference. The car now pulls like it did when it was stock. In addition it now sounds like the G35 coupe, not exactly but close. It's quiet at the light and a nice purr all the way to redline. The sound is beautiful! I did however lose a little bit of the top end though from the removal of the Y-pipe.
Bottom line, the car is way more fun to drive. With the Y-pipe you would have to drive at the upper limits to have any fun. Who wants to speed all the time.
By the way, I do have the Stillen Y for sale, it's almost brand new with no blems whatsoever.

I have Tokiko Illuminas and Tien H-Techs and love them. Before this set up I was running Tokiko Blues with Eibachs. The new setup is way better.
As far as strut braces and sway bars they all work about the same.

Headers
Go with Headers and Y pipe from cattman or Hotshot and also get yourself a High Flow Cat. Leave the rest of the exhaust alone including your Muffler. I had a Powertech Muffler on my maxima and all it did was lose power and make noise. i put the stock one back on and wow what a difference all the way from 1000 rpms to 6500 rpms.

Exhaust: I'd go with Frankencar or Cattman. I have Cattman y/b and Frankencar rear sections. For me it's perfect sound/power.
Struts/springs: I have Eibach's with Illuminas coming soon. Check here for lots of good info. http://www.innerbean.com/housecor/sp..._decision.html http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=281194
FSTB/RSB; I have a Stillen FSTB. I like it but it was a bit spendy. You can find them much cheaper. As for the RSB I also have a Stillen. It was really easy to install. I found it much easier to install than the Progress RSB.
