He's implying that you:
1. Drive the maxima the way it is.
2. Find a high paying job.
3. Buy a Ferrari.
4. Pick up hot women in the Ferrari.
5. Rinse, Lather, and Repeat.

on Supercharger as long as you have a 95-98 Maxima. Works fine on a 99, but technically not Smog legal since Stillen didn't pay to have it approved. I know you said you don't have the $$ OP, but a SC kit can be had for $1200-$1500 (maybe cheaper) if have some patience and find the right buyer. Shoot, I picked up a SC kit for $600.

intake: most are illegal, any gains are next to nothing. Smog shop will easily catch it and you'll fail the visual part of the smog check.
headers: Any headers made for the maxima are definitely illegal in CA
downpipe: ??? thinking of a Supra perhaps? lol
ypipe: definitely illegal in CA. Will the smog shop see it? Probably not. Best bang for the buck mod.
cat: worthless mod on a NA max
cat-back: legal as long as you don't exceed the State's specified db level.

naw...he's trying to be cost effective so a used mustang would be realistic rather then your baddass TT or your typical supercars...porsche, etc

Im lookin for my LSX for my project right now so i can try to match yo Supra
