Intake hp/tq gain?
5 hp if you are luck...mostly noise....
If you put more air in, got to get more air out...you will see much better results with a new exhaust paired withe the CAI....Is the HP to $$ worth the cost....I dont think so...but if you have it to burn, burn it

true, intakes, esp an sri, are more of sensation gain (hehe).
you get the power if it is with force induction, and some gain with a high flow exhaust system. so, yeah. like what wild ***** said.

Awesome thank you man! I was figuring it would be around 5-7hp but maybe if paired with the stillen exhaust it'd be better? Wish I could afford the motordyne/y-pipe combo

Yeah I'm not so much looking for power gain but more throttle response from the Maxima. Was just curious about the performance numbers of the product. I have heard that the CAI gives better throttle response. Does anyone have it and know how big of a difference it made?

if you can make the intake temp to be lower than factory, overall across the rpm/speed range, you can get a bit of a bump in hp. colder air, more fuel, more powah!
can we get a lower rated coolant temp sensor for this car? if that would help it get an extra kick...

Interesting possibility under perfect conditions (fuel, atmospheric etc).
As far as throttle RESPONSE....highly doubtful that one would ACTUALLY affect that with these products alone. Everything relating to throttle response in our cars is monitored, maintained and adjusted ELECTRONICALLY (often hundreds of times per second).
One would have to modify and/or trick the TPS, Intake Temp Sensor, CVT monitoring system among many other automatic electronic circuits and systems to actually affect throttle response...as already stated, we're far too fly-by-wire to be able to (easily) affect throttle response.

I'm curious...does the Y pipe make the car louder than stock. I'm a realtor so I'm in the car all day and would love more power, however I have clients in there also so don't want the mooooo sound while droning down the highway.

What is Pedal Commander?
Pedal Commander is a throttle response controller that removes response delays on any vehicle with an electronic gas pedal (most vehicles made after 2005). This is achieved by amplifying the signal being sent from the sensor on your gas pedal to the vehicle's ECU (computer). Today’s newer vehicles lack the responsiveness that came with older throttle cables. It doesn’t matter how fast you push your gas pedal to the floor, you don’t have access to all the power your vehicle has to offer. We are your solution!
One of our most frequently asked questions is “how much horsepower does it add?” Pedal Commander doesn’t add any horsepower, but it does let you use the existing horsepower of your engine by allowing you to access it quicker with the amplified signal.
This performance increase cannot be achieved with your typical aftermarket tune or programmer. Pedal Commander is the only device that lets YOU choose how you want your throttle to respond and change it on the fly. There are 4 different modes, with 9 sensitivity levels for each mode. This gives you a total of 36 levels of response to choose from, ensuring there is something for every driver in every vehicle.
While there may not be anything else out there like it, Pedal Commander is completely compatible with any other aftermarket parts you may already have. And since we don’t use the OBDII port, this means it’s a perfect match to compliment your existing tune or programmer to maximize your driving experience.

I had installed Sprint Booster in my former 2010 Altima SR V6, and worked perfect.
https://www.sprintboostersales.com/
Sprint Booster is a simple, Plug-N-Play unit that changes the way your pedal interacts with your car’s acceleration mode – specifically your ECM (Electronic Control Module). It does this by overriding the signal to your electronic throttle to make it faster which in turn makes your car respond and accelerate faster. So, when you press on your accelerator – you’ll immediately know it, rather then wait for the normal “pedal lag.”
Basically, the time it takes your gas pedal to go from idle-to-full-throttle is 25% faster than your car’s factory configuration.
This is especially evident in the low to mid rpm range where most cars spend their time on the street.
With a Sprint Booster module installed, you'll have the ability to Override the ECM drive-by-wire and replace it with crisp, on-tap acceleration whenever you need it. No more delayed response. No more sluggish acceleration. Instead, you get the immediate feeling of POWER!
Sprint Booster V3 offers users more options, more enhancements including:
• 3 Acceleration modes (Off, Sport and Racing)
• 36 Acceleration programs (18 manual & 18 automatic transmissions).
• Pedal lock mode.
• Valet mode.
• Ultra compact size / New Design.
• And of course, Plug n Play installation.
And of course your MPG will decrease inversely proportional to how you press on the accelerator pedal, not too much......

I'm actually very pleased with the throttle response, I don't really see that "rubber band" effect like some say happens with CVT. Unless you have ridiculous torque like the Tesla, there's always going to be a little lag time for the everything to get into "gear" to put that power down on the pavement, but my Max seems to do this at least as well as any 4 door car I've driven. It's fine in normal mode, sport mode is almost too quick.
I'm starting to believe what I had been told in another thread, that the transmission computer somehow learns how you drive. Because it was quirky at first, but seems to keep getting much better

I totally agree Fishlet! Mine felt a bit "odd" at first as well (my first CVT)....but either IT learned my right foot or vice-versa. After a few weeks, my Max and I became one! 
As far as after market throttle response additions.....ummmm, just press the little Sport Button guys! NNA INCLUDED IT IN OUR CARS!
