[mjv4235]

Hi to everyone on the forum, I am a proud owner of a 1998 Nissan Maxima.I have some sort of a leak in my exhaust and its making nasty sound I was wondering if its just my y pipe that I need to replace. Second question,I would like to gain some pony out of this baby what would be the first few mod to upg that will be easy to install? Last but not least.....I can't find any exhaust system online to purchase or im just not looking hard enough...or would I have to custom my exhaust? I'm a newbie so thx for all the kind replies n help.

Welcome to NICO.

Easiest way to find the exhaust leak is to put the front end on ramps or stands, start the car and pin point where the leak is coming from.

Exhaust advice can be found here zerothread/234925.

Easiest bang for buck mod is a y-pipe.

Most answers to questions you might have can be found here zerothread/219453.

If you are close to inspection time, you might want to plugthe exhaust hole with JB weld to try to pass inspection

That will give you more time to determine if and what kindof exhaust system you really need.
