What are the best performance updates for improving the 8th generation Maxima?

Hello everyone

I am looking to make use of this community's knowledge about improvements to performance for my 8th generation maxima. I enjoy its performance, and I am interested in researching ways to improve it even more.
  • What are some preferred engine adjustments to increase power, acceleration, and overall machine adaptability? Are there any products that have been found to provide clear performance gains?
  • I have thought about updating the stay to improve performance and ride quality. What adjustment setups have other members found to be beneficial for the eighth generation maxima? What combination of a set of coils works best for everyday driving and sometimes track days?
  • What systems would you recommend for better performance? Are there any brake pads or wheels that provide improved stopping power and quality while maintaining regular drivability?
  • I personally improve the sound and performance of my maxima's engine. What exhaust and intake systems have members set up, and what are the expected performance and sound improvements? Can you suggest any brands that are important for their quality?
  • What tuning processes have you applied on your 8th generation maximas? What was the outcome in terms of performance and drivability advances?
  • Are there certain servicing steps I should take after getting these updates to maintain their usefulness and accuracy?
Also I have gone through some post regarding this https://maxima.org/forums/8th-generation-maxima-2016/693682-questions-new-member-QlikViewDeveloper-will-there-awd-maxima.html but i want to know more about the for improving the 8th generation maxima
I would appreciate any guidance, personal experience, that you share based on your own 8th generation maxima experiences. Your advice will be very helpful to me.

Thanks in advance

Wrong car for engine mods. CVT won't hold up if you try.. Muffler mods also make car sound like a wailing cow. I do agree that braking can be improved. Lots of reports on how to and what to use

Would this also be true for adding a cold air intake mod? I was looking at this one

Don't expect an increase in horsepower or acceleration. It will only change how your car sounds as you accelerate.
