Hey guys just wondering what the easiest and safest mod to do on a 03 max to increase HP and the best place to buy it. Something that doest void the warranty. Im new to this stuff so thanks for any input

 

intake

headers...once Stillen or Hot Shot get their acts together..

 

In Nissans eyes, everything added voids the warranty. Just take it off when you go in for service.

 

 

When they do release these, how many horses would you say we will be looking at?

 

I think he was looking for something EASY and CHEAP. Installing headers is neither one. And headers would almost certainly be an issue with the warranty.

Truly the only thing you can do that will not create warranty problems would be an aftermarket air filter, such as K&N. You can expect up to 10HP.

Of course, some dealers will overlook things like headers or intakes, but they would be on firm ground to deny your claim if it can be linked to your modification.

 

I think your correct thanks for the input..A $45 air filter but i guess its going to be worth it.

 

K,

Call me stupid, probably am, how in the world does an air filter had hp?

 

K&N filter With the GHETTO Air Box.....

 

More air equals more power. That's the whole concept behind turbos and superchargers; they force feed air into the engine. By simply installing a less-restrictive air filter, or by making the airflow path a more direct route to the engine (intake), you can increase the engine's power.

Here's an explanation: http://www.knfilters.com/facts.htm

 

i had to take off my intake since i got a fix it ticket... but if you dont wana pay ANYTHING ... just pop in a replaceable filter and but dont put the top back on.. instead get a high temperatured tape and tape it... sounds loud and u get like 3-4 horsepowers... (but thats if you dont wana spend any money on your wonderful max)

however if you do want to get some good hp increase.... and you are willin to drop 400 bucks get a JWT or STillen pop charger and a y-pipe
u can get bout 20-25 hp increase (most comes from the y-pipe)

 

I thought the y pipe gains were somewhere close to NONE!

 

no y-pipe add a pretty good amount of HP... i've seen it and have experienced it.... if u dont believe me ask derrick.

 

I think it depends on the engine. The 3.0 VQ does very well with the Y pipe, but the 3.5VQ doesn't benefit much from it as I recall . . .

 

Well thats the reason why i said that they didnt have good gains, because he said he had a 03.

 

and if you are planning on the stillen headers dont buy a y pipe cause you wont need it
