If generic got you 10hp extra, then I found no reason for switching to the more expensive K&N. Rod Millen is selling the "Generic" filter (the one currently on your Max) for $250 and claims it is a Rod Millen signature product.......

After looking closely at the STOCK dynos of the Altima vs the Maxima, it's pretty easy to see these cars produce nearly the same hp and tq. DMBMaxima makes 204fwhp and 225fwtq and the Altima makes 200fwhp and 219fwtq. Sorry fellas, both of these cars were dynoed on different days and on different machines. I've said this numerous times before, all Dynojet 248s read a little differently therefore you need to dyno ON THE SAME MACHINE to develop a true comparsion between two cars. That miniscul 2% difference in power.....2%!!!!....can EASILY be attributed to a difference in machines and runs done on different days. It should also be noted that the Altima was dynoed with only 1500miles. I don't know what DMBMaxima's mileage was at the time. On the track, the Maxima vs Altima will clearly come down to driver.
Another thing we can see from the dynos is the fact that shifting at 6000+rpms is completely pointless. Again, like I've said before, these 3.5 VQ behaves very much like the 4ht gen VQ. It's not a high winding motor. You can choose to shift your 2002 at redline, but you'll be slower. The shift points should be more like this:
1-2 6200
2-3 6000
3-4 5800
