Hey guys. I'm new here (have been lurking every now and then) but I need some help.

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SE.

I want the Nismo Cat Back Exhaust.- What is the best place to buy it?

I also want a Air Intake but so many people have different opinions on this. I narrowed it down to either a Fujita or an Injen. Which one do you guys recommend?- Also I read on the AEM one that you don't have to clean it or change out the filters. Do you have to do this to the Fujita and Injen one?

Next I want to get the HID headlights. I haven't done much searching on this but it seems Xenon (sp?) is the one of choice. What do I need to do this for my low beam and fog lights? Links please.

And what does the stillen sway bar do?

Thanks.

Xenon lights are the HID thats the type of bulb it is. As for an aftermarket kit I would say go with V-LEDS.com they have a full assortment..

sorry i'll have to disagree with the recommendation to go with V-leds. you can get much cheaper for equal quality. DDMtuning.com offers them with a lifetime warranty, or you can search the ebay seller SuperVTec who sells them for $80 shipped, many people here have those.

I've been reading a few threads about the HID lights.

Will I have to get the bulbs after I buy the conversion kit? And how easy is it to DIY?

I heard the HID lights have a high failure rate. Is that true?

If you buy an HID kit, you do not need to buy bulbs because it will come with them. DIY is fairly simple, just plug in and play. Check out the How To/FAQ sticky. HID kits do have some sort of failure rate but if you are concerned, get DDM's HID kit because of their lifetime warranty as Blackmobile stated. If they ever do fail, send them in and they will replace it for you.

It reduces flex in the body of the car when cornering. gives the car a better feel when taking corners. you should go to stillen's site and read the product description, they explain the fuction of it pretty good. http://www.stillen.com

sorry but I still don't get how the Injen is a CAI. It sits right in the middle of the engine bay (pretty much) with only that plastic thing pointing in its direction...

LeeParts has the Nismo for about $610. That seems pretty good unless you can find someone on ebay
