1. exhaust. i like the way it sounds now w/stock and i dont like the fart can or angry bee honda sounds from aftermarket exhaust. with this said is there a cat-back to fit my needs???? the motor makes most of its torque down low, and headers can make u lose low end, any suggestions on headers???? what size exhaust is good for these motors????
2. shifters. am looking for a short throw shifter. am wondering if the 5-speed out of a 02 se-r will work or is there one for my tranny????
3.cams. never delt w/ twin cam setups, what kinds of lift and duration can i use on the I/E and still stay smog legal and the such????
most of my experience is with a 78 Z and i want to learn more about the performance mods for my 02. in the end will probally get a spec-v in a couple anyways.
1. You can go with a Stromung or VRS exhaust. Make sure to get a resonator to avoid the fart can sound. As for the header, go with Hotshot. And some people say a 2" exhaust is good and some say 2.25". Whatever you get, make sure it is mandrel bent.
2. I have no idea.
3. There are no cams for the QG18DE yet.

go to ptuning.com and look under any sentra year until 1999 for a pacesetter short shifter. the shifters on the SER are not shorter, and the spec V is a cable shifter, so they are not the same either.
am considering the GB on the short throw right now. looked at the info and the model year ends w/ 01. is my 02 tranny different enough that im out of luck???
e-mail the guy in my sig and telll him you want a pacesetter short throw shifter for the B14 model year, as it will fit.............and mention me, and he'll hook you up. It shouldn't be more than 85 shipped or 90 shipped.
i have heard that the stock se-r and spec v rims will work just fine on my XE. just wondering what the pattern is for those rims. i have found 4x100 4 lug 16x7's and would like to know if these or the spec rims will work.
just wanna ask another question. i am kinda stuck with what to do next. i have linited my decisions to
1) cat back exhaust
2) lowering the car
3) getting better wheels/tires

only 4x114.3 wheels will work. get wheels before you lower the car, and realisticallly , with our car, all you need is a muffler. you don't need a cat-back exhaust. also, if you do want cat-back, just go to a muffler shop, have them weld on some 2" piping, don't go bigger..........and then buy a universal muffler of your choice.
