Engine Swapping and other shenanigans ?
LS1 swap for 3rd gen maxima? SE model

-this is what my car sounds like now, it sounded better accelerating haha.
Still, the flowmaster 40 series was made for v8s and I want a corvette engine. however, i searched briefly , and could not find a maxima ls1 swap?
Any engine swaps possible for the 3rd gen?

there's barely anyone that's willing to turbo charge the stock motor...what makes you think you'll have someone that's willing to do a swap into a V8 and have it remotely driveable at a DD?
we can't even get coil overs!!!

in any Japanese cars, i thought the whole LS1 fad went away in the last whiletheres been 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 threads on this, theres no easy engine swaps for 3rd gens. anything is possible with time and money, but the only thing close is a VQ35 swap and even thats miserable to do. RWD vehicles are the easiest if you want to toy around with engine swaps, if you want a V8 get a S13 and swap in a VH45. or just get a Infiniti Q45

In almost every platform the motor that makes the most sense to swap, LS1. Cheap, light, reliable, and can make power. In fact here is what i dare you to do. Drive your car to an RX7 meet park your car next to an LS swapped RX7 and tell the owner of that RX7 that his car is gay. Make sure he sees what you drive then tell him about how gay his swap is. Lets see how well that goes for you.

Ok,ok,ok. No swaps for me. It was just a fantasy haha.
But what more can I do to my car.
K&n air filter,
Manga flow cat,
Flow master exhaust,
Engine is extremely clean, all fluids flushed and replaced.
I am probably making 200-210 bhp and lower whp.
I am thinking about getting a second muffler and having four exhaust tips.
But is there a way to make the maxima a true dual?
Or should I just enjoy my cAr for what it is ?

get on a dyno...then make claim of power.what does true dual exhaust actually gain you?
sell your car...get a rwd V8.
this will get you.....
true duals exhaust and option of V8 swaps all over the place.

Just like throwing a 2JZ and RB26 in everything is
In almost every platform the motor that makes the most sense to swap, LS1. Cheap, light, reliable, and can make power. In fact here is what i dare you to do. Drive your car to an RX7 meet park your car next to an LS swapped RX7 and tell the owner of that RX7 that his car is gay. Make sure he sees what you drive then tell him about how gay his swap is. Lets see how well that goes for you.

A mid rear engine north star. wow , how the hell did he fit it back there, and did he just leave the front as a trunk?
The third gen is very limited to what i can do it seems.
i do apologize for my cliche posts, you fellas must get a lotta people like me asking the same questions over and over again.
