Mods for 2K2

Other than a FSTB, RSTB or RSB has any implemented or thoroughly researched performance mods for their 2K2 yet?

Intakes, Exhausts, anything?

The new Maxi claims to have a better, more integrated exhaust system that takes into account all aspects of the exhaust when controlling power. Does that mean a Stillen muffler could screw things up?

Has anyone looked at the suspension on the new SE? I have my Eibach's and Tokico's sitting in the basement, but I don't want to do anything until I know for sure they will work. Nissan also claims they made changes to the suspensions for the 2K2 SE.

Thanks,

Trex

According to the Eibach website the part #'s are the same (#6350.140)for the springs. As far as the tokicos go I can't help ya.

I was told by Courtesy Nissan that the FSTB wouldn't fit the 2002, have you heard or do you know otherwise?

Maybe you already know this and don't consider it a performance mod but the K&N drop in filter also fits.

Re: Mods for 2K2

thank you....Actually my comment about the FSTB was an assumption (shame) because of the fact that it looks the same (memory). The tokicos are the real issue.

I think there is a small boost you get from the K&N and I will probably give that a try. Thanks.

If your still wondering...

Stillen - Hi Flow Intake
Courtesy Nissan - FSTB
Stillen & Cattman - rear exhaust section
Stillen - RSB

Cattman responded to my request on 02' stuff...
"...ADDCO rear sway bar
Cattman Performance second generation coilover suspension
KYB AGX struts (modified by Cattman Performance to fit the 2000+ Maximas) -- these will be ready in about a week
KYB dust boots/bump stops..."



Don't know for sure on struts/springs, but I think Cattman has coilovers for $1,800.00

Good luck. Let me know if anyone has new info on exhaust mods for 2k2's.

I'm wondering though if the Front Strut will fit?

I look at my hood clearance and there ain't **** there.

I emailed Courtesy specifically about the fit on the 02' and they responded..."Yes, we have them in stock and they are going for $89.95 plus shipping
