5th Gen "I AM NEW HERE BUT HAVE A QUESTION" thread
Yes u can!... i really don't think is less than a 2 1/4" on the OEM pipe
OK so i know that the bose amp can work with an aftermarket deck, but will the stock bose sub work also?
(buying just the deck for now because got the infamous "cd error f0" message on my stock HU. Later going to get aftermarket sub, amp and all that good stuff)

5th Gen OEM Exhaust Tip
Where can I locate the OEM exhaust tip that fits around both barrels of the exhaust? I have seen in on other SE models and it gives the exhaust a nice finish.
Thanks!

Another question,
I'm going to replace the muffler on my 5th gen, but the stock muffler is 24" long (including tip) and the one i want to order is 19" long. what would i have to do to make this new muffler have that extra 5"?

It should work you just need to be sure to get the wire harness adapter for it to work with the bose system. I am running with this currently but looking forward to getting the rest of the system completed.
Yeah, i just need to know where to find the piping. My stock muffler has got some rust holes in it (idk how, i just bought the car last month, but i didnt bother to check it, until a few days ago).
I'd get a used OEM one. Cheaper and effective. I've seen piping pretty much everywhere, AutoZone/O'reily ... anywhere. Or order some from jegs or Summit.
exhaust question
i understand that our cars have 3 converters in them and a muffler but what is that other piece it looks like its about six inches around and 30 inches long for?right now it has a hole in it from hitting a speed hill and the rest of the pipes are in good shape can i get just that part or do i have to replace the whole exhaust system?

what are the sizes of the bulbs in my guages in a 5th gen. ive been wanting to do a LED swap only for the guages. ive searched this forum as others also googled the question still no dice. i seen one member here use #74 LEDS. i purchased some from superbrightleds.com but was too small, the bulb would fall out into the speedometer. so my question is would #168 base LEDs be too big?
There is one main converter and 2 pre-cats. So, it depends on how you interpret it.
They have 2 pre cats (1 in each bank if referring to the (02/03) 1 main cat, a resonator, and a huge muffler, so yeah.
Energy Suspension Bushings
Why do my ES trailing arm bushings make rubbery creaking noises everytime I load/unload the rear suspension?
Why does only my passenger side ES control arm bushing squeak when it is humid? The one with the pin through it.
If I had not lost my thousand word explaination on my Maxima problem then I would not seem like an idiot noobie who does not know how to search like I do now.

Hi all,
I'm Steve W, a noob. I have a 2000 Maxima that's running great, but warm. Thermostat, water control valve are new, temperature sensors all check out fine according to Haynes. I removed and flushed the radiator and water came out so clear I could almost drink it.
I know things just get old, and I'm wondering about the water pump (do they ever just wear out) or the radiator, though it's so clean. Any thoughts much appreciated, thanks.

The water pump will usually start leaking when it goes bad, and there should be a mixture of antifreeze and water in your radiator, not just CLEAR water.
Thanks for the replies...
I'll look into a new radiator cap. But if coolant seems to be getting from the radiator to the reservoir and back (which it appears to be doing) could it still be bad?
I'm holding off on a new radiator, because I can't see any leaks anywhere. But always food for thought.
My dad has a 2000 Ford Contour, which had notorious water pump problems because the impeller had plastic fins on it, which would wear out, crack off and clog the passageways. I'm hoping the Nissan didn't fall for that...

I've tried my hand at searching around and wasn't able to come up with much. I would like to get new fog lights (mine are cracked) and replace the bulbs with HID bulbs. Should I get OEM fogs or are there aftermarkets that are better / equivalent? Also, could someone give me a link or tell me where I can find a write up on how to install HID bulbs in fog lights please?
Thanks
Thanks

Can anyone tell me the difference between the "Service Engine Soon" and "Check Engine" warning lights? My "SES" light is on, and all fluid levels seem okay - are there codes I could pull with "SES" as well?
Thanks.
Sorry - forgot to mention - it's a 2K Maxmima...

EDIT: If your SES light is on you should have your car scanned for codes.

Yeah, except ours has BOTH, so I wondered the difference. In the meantime, thanks much, I'll check it out!
