Guess its my turn to do a "progress thread"

Sooo im in it for another go around.......






I dont really have much pics plus i cant even stand looking at the ride height lol..... there is a few issues with the car that im gonna take care of before modding.... 1st thing i wanted was some coilovers but seeing as though these 3" catbacks aint that promising from cattman, i think thats gonna end up being my 1st purchase

Just because its made in China doesn't mean its chinese knockoff crap. DDM is DDM as it used to be, they are shipping straight from the factory in China because the **** is selling like hot cakes and they are always on back order so they are trying to speed **** up.

Get 35w 5000k, they are pure white and stand out from the typical hids on the street. People think my car came that way lol, I also have 3000k fogs with it. I've tried 55w and they just burn hotter which kinda defeats the point of hids as they are supposed to burn cooler. Don't waste your time with 55w IMO I've seen people melt there housing on there fogs with them.

I dont see why electric cutouts arent the idea for maxima owners, quiet and clean until u hit the switch, then loud and quick when ur ready for power , got mine for 150 and im pretty sure the gains are heavier than any 3 inch catback..

That's classy, I've never seen a female fully dressed ready to go out with a bag and all, putting an intake together. Well, at least you know you'll always have a helper .

I'd do the one you can afford most...I mean they're some nice stanced Maximas, haven't seen a AE though, but it's going to cost some suspension parts over and over..

I didnt see huge gains with mine, TQ was higher then the HP gained. I sold it and went for a nice sounding 3" setup.

good teaching lol..... 3" is better and it sounds better... the reason im not a cutout guy is because ive always thought the ECU always needs time to adjust to the sudden change of gas flow to maximize performance, and while you will see gains and have a performance increase i just dont think its the maximum performance you can get as the airflow isnt really "broken in" as some would say........ just my views on cutouts, i could ne wrong but im sticking to it
