What would it be on? I already have a K&N drop in filter. I want my engine to sound mean....not necessarily mess with the muffler. Suggestions? I'm new at this.

Okay, when I said I'm new at this, I meant, I'm REALLY new at this... I know stereos and wheels....that's about it.

Where does a Y pipe go?

$300

If you have a 2k2 I am pretty sure there are no Ypipes out yet. If you want a growl tho an intake can provide that. Mine is a frankencar and it sounds good. You can hear it on their site under audio or movies, something like that. www.frankencar.com There are others such as stillen, jim wolf, injen, berk tuning, etc.

I have a 2K. And I still have no idea what a Y-Pipe is. Is it exhaust or intake? Talk to me like I am ten years old please.

Give me the keys young man! You're too young to drive

Seriously, the Y-Pipe basically free's your exhaust a bit and has been proven to provide a 15hp gain at the wheels. Most bang/buck IMHO.

$20 CAI? WHAT? How did you manage that. Show me the way, wise one. Is it jerry-rigged?

Definitely a Cold Air Intake, I have a 2k SE Max and the first day I got it installed I couldn't keep my foot off the pedal! The growl sounds nice!

No, I bought it straight from custommaxima.com I love the cold intake but they give **** for instructions. If you need help or have questions on it let me know. My friend and I went through hell when we installed it but it was well worth it
