ignorant comment.. the only smell that you will smell is NO SMELL..

once again..

the only time you get wierd smells from your car is if your cat is clogged.. NOT IF YOU REPLACE IT WITH A TEST PIPE..

I went to a muffler shop, gave them the pipe specifications, they made me my straight pipe, I installed it myself, and lived happily ever after. The End.

alone, minimal gains if any.... with a y-pipe and cat-back, probably a little more.

the test pipe alone will not yeild big gains.. however it free's up the exhaust and as you add more mods the gain will get bigger.. add Nitrous, Turbo or Supercharger.. the gain could be as much as 10 hp.. it really depends..

Well I'm not sure what effects it'll have on the Maxima but when I did a straight pipe and catback on my 95 GS300 it shaved off .6 sec off my 1/4 mile. Stock the car was slow as hell running 17.8 @ 87. After the intake,straight pipe ,catback and 90 shot the car ran 14.5 @ 96.

Yeah the GS took to mods fairly well. Just the intake and exhaust and the car and you can definitely feel the difference on the highway.

I'm not sure how much but with the right mods you should get between 5 to 10 extra HP.
