Hi, i just bought a 1995 240sx and wanted to know what would be the first important modification to the vehicle?

depends on what kind of condition it is in. if it's beat up, start on the little things like getting it running good, if it's in good condition, a cold air intake is always a good mod to start with and work around.

The car is in great running condition except with a few minor fixes i need to attend to. Other than that, i was always a big fan of AEM. Do you know if AEM made a cold-air intake for 95s and up? Thanks for the advice!

IMO, aside from a turbo, the best first mod is a custom high flow CAT-back exhaust system; gives you the best bang for the buck.

Yea. A few friends advised me to get that but what brand do you specifically recommend?

something not LOUD and stupid sounding. Also look into; nice brake pads new blank rotos, coilovers and nicer tires.

Go with the Apexi Dual exhaust. Sounds excellent.

I was considering a few catbacks. I have a 95 nissan 240sx that is running a ka24de. Most of the catbacks i've seen on ebay ask for sr20det or sr20. Do i really need to have those motors in order to use their catback? I have been also told that i don't except that the consequences are that i will have an extremely loud noise and that it might drain some of my horsepower? Please get back to me if anyone can briefly answer my question.

A catback is a cat back. If it's made for your car, it's made for your car. The only problem using the sr20det cat back is that the piping is 10mm larger than a non turbo cat back. This means that you'll lose a little bit of low end power. Due to less back pressure.

IM probably gonna get flamed for this but sell the engine and throw in an SR or RB

A CAT-back exhaust system is all the piping with the muffler(s) that bolt on to the back of the catalytic converter.

Exhausts come in all different sizes turbo and non-turbo exhaust arent a set diameter.
