Looks like you are looking at the same mods.

I believe the Courtesy FSTB, Addco RSB both will work.

Stillen's FSTB is under production and isn't ready last time I checked.

The Frankencar intake looks good. I am getting all my parts from one place so I don't pay 3x shipping.

a lot of guys have the Courtesy Nissan Strut Bar on their 5th generations. All of them say that it works great. You can also put on a 4th generation one, which is much cheaper from Courtesy Nissan.
Mr BigDogJonx, who now lives in a maxima, shows how to do it here( go to the bottom of the page)
big donx how to ...but if u don't want to go through the hassle, just buy the one for the 5th generation and it will work fine, and serve the same purpose as the Stillen one....

Actually, no you can't fit the 4th Gen Strut Bar on your particular car because it's a 2002, which has the tall 3.5L engine. Only 5th Gen bars will fit.

Not much functional difference between different FSTBs, only looks. Be sure to install it snugly between the strut towers so that it's almost pushing on them.

I like mine!

Wow I have been whining about the poor washer flow. I never thought to check.

Thanks
