Wanting to Mod up my 02

I am looking for anything to get my maxi to its full potential. I am just looking for suggestions on any parts or replacements that "you" would reccomend.

2002 Maxima 3.5 GLE (AT), w/ Injen CAI, and Front sway bar.


P.S. Am looking for rear bumper (prefer pearl), and new drivers seat (tan leather)

Yes, cuz you're gonna get reamed for not searching and reading through threads on your own, checking out the member's rides forum etc.

Personally, I'd get rid of that Injen intake and go back to stock or go for big bore MAF/intake + VAFCII or the like.

Research headers too.

In your mod list you have a front sway bar listed. Do you mean front strut tower bar? Totally two different things.

^ Gutted precats? Weak.

Gut your stock muffler! Many people in the enthusiast community such as STI, EVO dudes and M3 dudes love to do this mod. It will make your car sound like a piece of crap, perfect for the DIY enthusiast.
