I've decided on Monroe struts..... yes at $850.00 install and labor at Tire Kingdom. I hope it's not to soft a ride......I have an SE you know. I went to my local Muffler Man shop today and he will fabricate me a 2 1/2 diameter pipe from the cats back. Then install a high polish stainless steel muffler (staright thru baffle) from Goerlich's exhaust. It's an oval w/3 inch round tips. He wants $150.00 for the muffler and $250.00 for the total job including labor.
My local import speed shop wants $230.00 for the same muffler but he calls it a "Hayame". I cannot find a cold air induction set-up for my year maxima (87).......
Would a K&N give me any gains(HP) than a paper filter for my stock air intake? Under my hood I have this insulation material and it looks terrible and it's halfway coming off, can I just rip it off or would this mess up my hood paint due to high temps from engine?
Also, what is "hi-flow cats"?
Any other advice is appreicated. I'll try and take some pics of my Maxima an post them here when I get it all done. You'll be amazed at the conditon of the car.
Thanks again.
