Someone posted you lost mpg on the highway with a CAI. Is that true. I know you cant have the best of both worlds but I take alot of highway trips and like my mileage.

The best upgrade to get HP is sell the car and get a real car that has real HP, Don't waste your money trying to make this car a "racer" It's not, it is a 4 seater sedan. Luxury no, just a regular sedan....

I bought this car to drive around my clients in, not to waste money into making into a lost cause. The simple truth the Maxima is 4 car sedan, period. The newer Maxima is a lot more sporty, but it's still the same 4 car sedan. Want to have a good 0-60? Get a real car

I dont like a car with so many issues and the board has made it aware of it what is going with the Maximas. Hey Nice body shape and styling, but that goes away with the issues this car is plagued with

a good thread concept has been ruined by bieber.

Anyway i do like this thread i think the better question is the best way to improve power:weight. Some mods add weight and are not very effective vs others(catbacks and such)

I get about 25 mpg with my Nismo CAI installed on my 04 SE. I usually cruise at about 80 so that doesn't help any.

I bought mine cause it has descent power im a little older now an i don't want to drive a car that look like it came out of a cereal box.lol... Simple answer as everybody know's. Intake headers y-pipe full exhaust an a tune will give some descent gains. It's all in what you want out off the car. The guy asked a simple question. Why is it so hard to answer.

I’m just an average 40 year old dude but I really enjoy my 2013 Maxima. They are great cars in my opinion. I ordered the K&N cold air intake and will probably order the magnaflow exhaust as well. I’m not looking to build some super modded Maxima but these seem simple, inexpensive, and will return a few HP. I do like the deep throated engine sound the intake gives. The question I had for you was do you have to mod the ECU with the magnaflow exhaust or is it just recommended? If you really should do it, is it a simple process that I could do myself or should I take it to a performance shop? Thanks for the advice

Get the "New Car MOD".. It's easy, Goto Car max and trade in your POS for a BOSS.. DONE!

My Years of trying to squeeze water out of a rock i've learn it's cheaper to just buy the Hp Used... Look for an old M3, E55, maybe if you're lucky an Audi S4 somewhere. Hell, if the HPFP and injector recall was done, buy a 08' 335i... You can find these all day long under 10k easy, and if you are Mech-Savy, do whatever is needed yourself to maintain a BMW, it's not hard.

Tell me, on a Naturally Aspirated car, what is the ECU upgrade doing? Fuel curve for what? Timing to readjust for what??? All ECU tuning was to compensate to extra power from turbos.. But whatever, i promise you if you do it you will feel that "phantom" power boost and a lighter pocket.
