Just got myself an Altima coupe 2010 2.5S . . I had an Altima SEDAN 09.

Hopefully stuff comes out for the 2010 version because i want to fix up my ride already... I dont like stock.

congrats and welcome.

as far as mods, all suspension and engine mods fit the 10 models and there are plenty of those to get.

springs, strut bar, intake, exhaust are all great mods to keep you busy

first = springs, no doubt in my mind. your coupe will look better, drive better... what else can you ask for.

intake on a 2.5 was my 2nd favorite mod, really makes the car sound nicer.

then id go with the strut/sway/exhaust, whichever u prefer. to answer your question yes all exhausts for 08-09 models fit the 10. The only thing changed on the 10 is the front fascia, nothing to the engine bay.

Racingline Y pipe took my big V, always recommend that as high on the to do list. Springs, intake, all right there with it.

I did Y, intake, springs, in that order.

Congrats and Welcome!

Don't get springs! Go with coilovers instead you will love it more! It is more expensive but look at it this way you won't have to worry about changing your shocks later when they wear out because the Eibach spring will wear them out faster. So you are going to spend as much money to get springs and if you can't install them yourself thats more money.

Then when the shocks go thats extra money spent to get that fix. Also if you go with springs its a 1 time drop where maybe later in the future you want to go lower then you might end up spending more for coilover if you do. So do it right the first time, spend the extra money now instead of wasting money later.

After that wheels! these two things will make the biggest difference to how your car will look.

it would basically be a straight pipe...or a test pipe...i think they call it.

The video that was posted is the 3.5se so the sound is a bit different. Here are the clips I have:

It does sound much better in person.

Me and Sickkwidit were trying to get a cruise going a few weeks ago but I thought my license was suspended so that didn't happen. Once Chrispizzitola's car is fixed (about 3 weeks) I'm sure we will be going out for a drive somewhere

My car should be fixed by this weekend or next weekend.How bout we get a mini meet going the 23rd or 24th.I havent drove My whip in over two months and definitely am wanting to do some driving.Either a turnbull canyon run or cruise down PCH to top of the world in Newport would be sick. But Yeah dude Get some springs for your car that is probably the biggest improvement and cheapest to do.The springs from the 08 and 09 fit perfect.
