Although my '09 had a CAI (more like a WAI) and a car delete y-pipe (Maxima has 3). And the 2013 will have the same mods soon as well as probably a plenum spacer, and I already have a Stillen UD pulley for it.



The acceleration of the Maxima is as good as it is due to CVT, it allows you to stay on peak power all the time. But the biggest disadvantages weight, you can't dyno it properly, it can't take much more than 300HP, and I BET the loss to WHP is worse than on a regular AT
Yuup, I know. Very verse on Maxima's as I am with Z's, have had several of each and like them both.
