They are liars...I love my Y-pipe. Huge difference over stock one. Get it if you want one.

I have heard that getting all these aftermarket parts are bad for your car, but its not true. Superchargers and NOS will wear your engine faster, but all these bolt-ons do is allow better air flow. They won't harm you.

10 to 12 hp with a stock intake. Up to 20 hp with a PR CAI.

No to the Y, and you are missing a clamp on your ATX cooler. Get one and put it on, then tighten it.

Y-pipes are good, as long as they fit ok and don't have a leaking flex section

Anyone know what a stock maxima Horsepower at the wheels is? Not guesses but actual dyno info.
