WOW, Could not believe how heavy the OEM exhaust system was. Probably shaved 40LBS off the car, glad that's gone...

(I'm leaving this up as an FYI, CE Y-Pipe was replaced with Hotshot Headers in July 2006)

Custom Enterprise Y-Pipe bolted up 12-9-2004 to the Pre-Cats and GReddy SP-II Catback exhaust system...

UPDATE 9/2/2004, Stillen rear Anti-Sway Bar.

Took all of 15 minutes to swap out the OEM Anti-Sway Bar (Remove 1 rear tire, 6 bolts, swap out, done)

EXCELLENT IMPROVEMENT, CORNERS FELT TIGHTER WITH LESS BODY ROLL, CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT IT FEELS LIKE ONCE I MARRY IT WITH MY NEWLY ORDERED STILLEN FRONT UPPER STRUT TOWER BRACE.

As for the Stillen Front Upper Strut Brace (FUSB), The Part Num# for a 2004 MAX is #307021, Yes it also fits the 2005 ALTIMA 3.5L. See Pic's of install:

Updated 8/23/2007, OK on 5/30/2006 I installed my new RacingLine Endlinks. These Endlinks do and excellent job in augmenting the Stillen RSB. Only problem was the Grommet stink so I upgraded the to new Polyurethane Sway Bar End Link Grommets with Washers and used 3" grade 8 stainless steel nuts and bolts to fit the new grommets on.

Racingline EndLinks when purchased new.

Updated Sept 11, 2004. FINALLY RECEIVED AND INSTALLED THE NEW UNORTHODOX RACING UNDERDRIVE CRANK PULLEY. TOOK ME ABOUT 4 HOURS USING ALL HAND TOOLS (DON'T OWN AN IMPACT WRENCH YET!!!). OVERALL EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH INSTALL.

UNORTHODOX RACING STATES THE FULL ADVANTAGE IS REALIZED AFTER 5-7 DAYS OF DRIVING SO THAT IT GIVES THE ENGINE COMPUTER TIME TO RECALIBRATE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ENGINES LIGHTER ROTATIONAL WEIGHT. I INSTALLED A RED PULLEY, PART # 408235-R (FOR 2K4 MAX)

NEW RECOMMENDED BELT SIZE / BRAND ARE:

ALTERNATOR & A/C BELT:
GATES, Part# K060408
(41.5" or 1055mm) or
GATES, Part# K060410
(41" 5/8 or 1060mm)

POWER STEERING BELT:
GATES, Part# K040300
(30.75" or 780mm)
