back in the fold - 03 Maxima

After my last 02 Maxima passed away in January I thought I would not own another one. I narrowed my options down to about four cars; Audi A4, Legacy GT, Saab Aero, Audi TT, all turbos. I may have bought a TT if I could have found one in my price range (never even test drove one). I eliminated the Legacy GT after a test drive. Not sure what it was about it, but it was just blah.
I liked the A4 but wanted a ~2007 with s-line and a stick. No luck finding one.
Then one night I decided to see what was out there for Maximas. I just lucked out with this one. It was a ridiculous find. 31K miles, perfect condition. Not one mark one it(until this weekend; some a-hole in walmart hit my bumper with a shopping cart). The previous owner never drove it in the winter and always garaged it.

Oh yeah.

Headers, full exhaust, tint, slight drop, CAI, NWP spacers.... Now I just need to find some extra dollars laying around.
I may just gut the cats. From what I recall it's not a lot less HP gain than headers.
