intake will fit, exhaust should fit. IDK if the bumper is longer.

do a y-pipe but forget about a cai - takes away power instead of adding.

y pipe comes off your headers for exhaust, down pipe, dont even worry with that cause your not turbo'd, and a CAI is a cold air intake

then learn a bit more noob because on the 4th gen maxima/i30 it does take away power - especially with auto transmission. also mpg suffers

you can do a google search for maxima and cai and you should find threads on the uselessness of putting them on. i bought and put on a cai and except for the sound i don't like it - i'm gonna modify it with stock resonator and air box. if you decide to go cai let me know - i'll buy the stocker from you.

i wish you were closer - i'd swap intakes with you. the y - pipe is a bolt on mod that is the best hp/value. everything else like intake spacers etc gets pretty expensive.

Do you know of anyone on here running those? I am new to this forum and the layout is a little tricky. I can't seem to locate a search button.

search button is flashing red on top of the page but don't even look for the megan spring info - i've read a bit about those before i dropped my max and seems that they're crappy.how low do you want to go?
