I'm guessing you have a 2000 max?
For your second question, find out if you have a fed or a cali spec. You can check via:First of all, if you have a 2001 Maxima, it has California/NLEV Spec emissions. If not though, you can look under the hood for a white sticker that displays emissions information. If the sticker states anything about meeting California or NLEV emissions standards, you have a Cali/NLEV spec Maxima.

The main difference between Federal and NLEV emissions is that the latter has two precats with a total of four O2 sensors versus a single precat and three O2 sensors for Federal emissions standards. In the Federal Spec emissions Maxima, you will find a single precat built into the intermediate pipe. Two of the sensors are placed before this and the last sensor is after the main cat. The Cali spec Maxima has two precats with one in the intermediate pipe and another one built into the front exhaust manifold. Two O2 sensors are located before the precats and the other two are after each of the precats. There are no O2 sensors after the main cat in this case.

Another, way is by the number of 02-plugs you have on the front valve cover clip/rack:

for an intake, if you want a warm air, go for a berk or for cold air...make one yourself.
For your last question, what do you mean sputter? it may be your MAF. luckily for us 2000 maximas, they're cheap to replace compared to 2002-2003

yea mine is a 2000 max as far as the 02 sensors i notice one on the header and one before the cat thats it i was thinkin about buyin a test pipe and removin the cat is dat safe?

i checked the car just now and nothin i have no white sticker sayin nithin :\

you can remove the cat, but it's illegal and not too good environmentally. For a 2000 max, buy a y-pipe. best performance mod for our gen.
