Of the people here who have done y-pipe, intake and exhuast. Who here has had problems with your car because of these products. Just curious and also did it improve the performance that much. What can you beat now, but couldn't beat before the upgrades. Any info will be helpfull.

I have the Stillen Y-pipe and intake. No exhaust yet.
Maybe Maxima day I might find something good. As for
beating other cars, I've beaten 99 Civic SI's, Honda
Accord V-6's, Subaru WRX (The guy just bought it and
did not know how to drive it :-)
The combo intake/y-pipe gives it a nice but mellow throaty
sound and it should be your first performance upgrade.
The y-pipe takes a few hundred miles to break in to get
the full extra power out of it. Both items have been on
my car for about 6 months or so with no problems at all.
