y pipe or drop your car??
#3
I decided to drop my car before getting a y-pipe and while I still don't have a y-pipe I would say save up and drop your car first. The Maximas weak spot is its handling and good springs will make it a totally different car vs the slightly better straight line performance with the y-pipe. Plus you also get rid of that ugly family sedan wheel gap

Well from my experience it is best to lower the car AND replace the struts at the same time. So in actuality a Y-pipe would be cheaper. Aftermarket struts do make a BIG difference in suspension.
I would buy the y-pipe and the springs, then only install the y-pipe until you can find some struts.

What do you want? Better straight line performance or the ability to corner/handle much better? Having done both mods, I'm glad I got the Y-pipe first because I had a chance to play with the power gain; now, with my aftermarket suspension, I spend a lot more time turning because driving the car is a lot more fun now.

I think you should do suspension first....
Recently I have told myself that all the money for the maxima will be spend on cosmetics (body kit, lighting, etc.)
I might change my mind at some point and do performance.
