hey guys so i was told the car has jim wolf headers and by this thread i found out jim wolf doesnt make headers so i finally had time to take pictures but i couldnt get from under the car and idk if you guys can tell the difference from just the top but here is the pictures also do you guys know if my intake is a brand or is it custom made?
heres a picture of the whole engine
and now for the intake what does it look like? is it custom made? i dont like the spectre filter cause i feel like i should get a better brand such as a k&n i was thinking apexi but my filter gets wet when it rains cause i have the evo style cf hood
and for the guys talking about the system i have here are some pics tell me what u think im thinking of pulling it out and selling it cause it doesnt bump hard enough like my tsx might get stronger subs or might just go subless lol
and im wondering what the hell is this it looks like a amp but i dont think it is, i am pretty sure its for the tvs it can use some cleaning lol

sure i keep that in mind and yea it all works and i thought u said it was just heavy crap lol jk
anyone know what kind of headers these are? sorry for not being able to get pictures from under and those that rust look bad? it looks sorta ugly
so over the past months i learned alot about my maxima and did alot to it also, i realized that i asked some dumb questions like what kind of exhaust of i have... i found out a while that 5th gen do not have dual exhaust on the market, so i got lucky with this maxima, i found out i have g35 throttle body when i gave the original owner a call, and 19 inch rims one of you said can never be light but i have the g35 rays rims that are also 19 and the front weigh 19 and the rear 21 pounds in my opinion thats super light for any rim. i was confused why u said i was lucky with my cattman strut bar but now i know because its not in production anymore. i took out my subwoofers and i lied to you guys those things are like 30-40 pounds -__-. i also ordered nwp spacers, and nwp torque link so once they come in im going to install it along with the kinitex, i know people say there is no real proof it works but since i have it, and it looks good minus well. so basically in the past few months i spent around 2k on this maxima for used bumper, grill, fogs, optima red top, rims torque link, spacers, and i feel like im missing some stuff lol

What year is this alleged G35 TB from, since well, I'll let you answer that.
It's the same as the Maxima, unless it's an HR motor, and in that case ...
My LW 17's were 14.3#'s per wheel, and each corner weighed in at 35.4 pounds, that's light.

thats light buy for a 19 inch wheel weighing 19 for the front and 21 for the rear that still very light. cause most 19s are around 25-30 pounds

How about a performance driving school so you can take advantage of all these improvements you've made? Do you like autox or High Performance Driving Events? If you have money for mods, you have money to learn how to make the most of your car's potential.... just a thought...

never thought too much of that but sounds like a good idea. i do want to dyno in the future but i dont feel like spending 100 bucks to find out how much power i pish when i can fill my tank twice with that and do atleast 10-20 good pulls with thats gas money lol or less. one time in my first maxima i burnt half a tank in half a minute racing my friends tl-s 03 and i beat him every race and i had extra 250 pounds in my car 5 - 16 pound bowling ***** and a 150 pound friend
#62
i didnt install it yet since im waiting for my spacers to come in and i dont want to install it and have to take it off again lol. and im not even going to lie idk what exhaust size it is since its the rectangle shape one -_- its a very quiet car until i rev it up high tho. when i start its loud when i have the kinitex, spacers, and torquelink on in a month or so ill take a reving video but i have pics of the kinitex chillen on my photobucket same username as my org name

Forgot it had Dual Exhaust if you ever get it on a Lift or High enough take some Pics.....

IMO, duals on these cars are for looks.
6th gen comes with duals, fastest NA member went single 3". IMO, just like a PnP'd LIM, not worth the time.
Although, not stating that to knight, because for him, it was easy, bot the OP, might want to look somewhere else for gains.

New to this a little bit
Yes i am a little bit new to this.... I am just wondering what i can do to get a little more power and torque out of my 5th gen. So far I have deleted the cat, have a 3" straight pipe to a 44 series flowmaster. i also have a Injen CAI. 15% tint,blue led conversion in the intrument cluster. 18" enkei wheels. just wondering what else i can do without breaking my bank??????

But seriously, remove the Injen and smack yourself in the head with it. Cold air is not behind your radiator. If you replace that with your stock air box you will gain back the lost hp. At a minimum, convert to a short ram setup or look into the true CAI mod for the Injen (decent how-to poking around here).
Headers. OBX, or Cattman if you have deep pockets. Deleting the main cat does nothing. The restriction is in the precats. 20hp alone right there. At a minimum, you could get the precats for a gain.
If you have an android phone you can look into a 2 degree timing advance with a blutooth elm and an app called Car Gauge PRO. $20-$30 total.
NWP mods. VIAS BOP, spacers, etc.
Search SSIM
Also look into piggyback tuners. I just grabbed an Apexi VAFC and AEM uego wideband (both used) for under $200. The classifieds here are great if your a baller on a budget.
There is a wealth of knowledge around here, just gotta search. Stickies are also your friend. Bumping an almost year old thread doesn't get you far around here, but at least you made an effort. Good luck. (ps. Get some lowering springs or coilovers... needs more low)
