welcome to the site...well i think removing the rez helps some but there is still more hp that can be reached with different exhaust setups such as the bassani, borla, or if you want the best gains do true dual exhaust. but if you stay with a cat back many people seem to say good things about the sho-shop y-pipe.

btw, what year maxima do you have?
