go with an exhaust, more high end power(don't know about low end though), and it sounds great when you gas it.

maximas won't gain any real world performance (low or top end) from exhausts.. but they do look and sound much better. If you want performance then just get the y-pipe b-pipe and CAI...

If you are planning to get a y-pipe, you better be ready to deal with the noise if you have an exhaust as well. Just don't get an universal exhaust like me. It's loud and annoying. So, I'm planning to get an Apexi WS cat-back exhaust.

my full exhaust (y-pipe and cat-back) gives more low-end grunt.....I LOVE 1st gear. And the high end screams. Full exhuast does ALOT for a max. Before I was 4 carlenghs behind my dads GS430 at 60....now I'm 1 carlengh behind at 80....proof that mods DO work.
