Best Mod For The Buck
Looking to add a Mod to my 02' VQ35DE, I'm pretty satisfied with my suspension and tires so I won't need that. Also anything that's gonna make it sound like a ricer I don't want. I can spend up to $1000 maximum but wouldn't mind a cheaper range either.

Search for "GAB intake mod", cheap and effective.
Rear sway bar (suspension mod, but one of the better bang-for-your-buck mods)
y-pipe
^---all good choices. And you can prolly do all 3 for under your $1000 limit

As long as you keep the stock catback, headers and y-pipe will not add alot of noise, just a slight growl.
GAB is noted as a good mod, but damages stock intake if that's an issue for you.
You can also simply remove intake box and snorkel then add a filter. Another option is to rotate your battery and angle a cone filter (make sure a dry flow) toward the front/ behind the headlight.
Intake spacers and BOP (block off plate) are other great intake mods.
I'll leave it for you to search about what each of these mods do, hp, sound, difficulty of install, and cost.

OBX V2's or Cattman?
I've been reading that there are some modifications that need to be done while installing the OBX headers where the cattman do not need these adjustments? I don't have a welder, just basic tools.
These were some of the things that were mentioned when installing the OBX.
Wire extending and the welding work for the the o2 sensor
bung and High flow cat.

the prob with those obx headers is finding them. anyone know where to get them?
ive seen a few people mention running the obx altima headers which are readily available. but not sure which gen they were using them on

I found the OBX headers here but I'm not sure if these are the V1's or v2's? I will give them a call on monday.

I also found this, but its big price difference. I wonder why such a difference?

Why would these OBX headers cost $250 more than the other two websites listed above? Any idea? http://www.obxracingsports.com/products.php?pk=2000
Still trying to fugure out if the V2's have the same problem the old ones had with the headers not fitting and then having to grind down the motor mounts, which I don't want to do.

I've installed two sets in the past 6 months or so, both needed to grind the crossmember and they both cleared the rear motor mount.
