What should I buy first?

I've got about $225 to spend and I was looking into either a y-pipe or a combo of a short shifter and an RSB. Help me decide please.

would you rather your car have a better feel to it as far as handling? or would you rather some increased performance? when you answer those you find what you want more. i would flip a coin myself because it's a win/win situation anyways. (just save up a lil more and do all of the above!)

Definately RSB! Maxima is already plenty fast, but that stock body roll has got to go. Buy an Addco and set it on the most aggresssive setting you can. Cornering is now fun, your rear follows the front much more than before, especially noticable in quick lane changes.

And then you can get the STS too, and there's a whole new, better feel to your shifting as well.

So you can get both better handling and shifting feel on one hand, and increased performance on the other. I'd go with the better feel over the added performance (probably feels good too though, Maxima gets the lead outta its ***). Gotta get the y-pipe too of course, but I'd put it on the back burner for now in your situation.

Just IMO, let us know how it turns out.

I've had an intake before, but I got tired of the loudness so i took it off. Also, with the WAI i had I lost torque and I didn't like that, so I put my stock airbox back on and just made a OSCAI.

I already have a STB so the RSB and the STS will probably be a better idea for now. That's what I'll probably get.

Thanks everybody for you opinions!
