Headers wont really do anything but give it a nice sound for our cars. The best bang for your buck beginning mod on our 4th gens is an aftermarket y-pipe. Then a catback exhaust. Also look into an 00vi (2000 Variable Intake).
About 6hp..
Wow.
Tell him to save his money.
I dont see y he should save, unless he wants to of course. Yeah there are better platforms,but thats what tuning is about, taking what you have and making it better. If it wasnt then there would be no Honda scene now would there? I dont know if you still have one, but based on your sig and profile you have a 92 SHO, and im sure at one point you have thought about making it fast. You may or may not have gone through with it, but im sure you have thought about it, and no one thinks twice about that car but that what make tuning fun, shocking the hell out of people. Dont discourage simply b/c its a platform you dont have full knowledge of or dont like for whatever reason. Tell him to take a look at this: http://forums.maxima.org/dyno-slips-...5-se-5spd.html and tell him to check out maxima.orgOriginally Posted by One_Bad_SHO
Ever heard the phrase "better bang for your buck"? Yeah the guy's brother could make it fast, but he would have to spend a whole lot more money to do so and probably sacrifice reliability. One_Bad_SHO has a roughly 600WHP SHO (if I remember correctly), but he has a good platform and the resources to build it properly and reliably.
Honestly, tell him to save his money. He could make the Maxima fast, but he could make something else much faster, enjoyable, and reliable for less money.
UGA: Everybody is laughing at us this year.
True, but making something with that much power may not be his objective, and if it isnt, it wouldnt take very much money to make a Maxima a fun car to drive at all. And if making something with that much power was his objective he probably wouldve chose another platform. Seeing as how he never said big power numbers were his objective, y tell him to save for something else? Maybe there is a reason he wants to tune this car. And the VQ30DE is VERY cabale of producing higher horsepower numbers and still be reliable. Somethings will have to be changed like internals, but im sure the SHO isnt completely stock either as far as that goes. Just dont make his brother feel like he just has to be stuck with a stock, slow car, b/c thats no true at all. I do have a question though b/c im interested now lol, what mods are on the SHO?
thanx for the tips. i herd of the 00 intake swap but does it performe better and would it be a hard swap do you need to change the bottom intake injector exc- or just the top does anyone nkow a link to the swap, i still wana run emission safe this is my daily driver. thanks

Tell him to visit maxima.org and read....and read......and read.....ok my bro has a 99 maxima se 3.0 stock with intake,an he wants to put headers an exhaust on it.does any know how much power will it gain.he will appreciate yalls help.

he should just d a 3.5l swap
It does perform better, the 95-99 Maximas and the 00-01 Maximas are the same engine, the only reason why the 00-01 Maximas are rated at 222hp, and the 95-99s are rated at 190hp is b/c of the intake. That is the only difference between the engines. Your car will run fine, actually better. And after that raise the rev limit to take advantage of the new Varible intake and top end power. But like NissanTun3r said, hit up maxima.org
