Hey there, I'm Carlos, 21 years old. Born and raised in Los Angeles and I drive a 2007 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V. =)
I only have a cold air intake and exhaust on my Sentra, but I am currently looking for ways to make my car faster. I have no idea what I'm doing or how to make my car faster which is why I joined this forum. I'm hoping to learn as much as I can about my car and how I can push it to the limit.

what kind of exhaust do you have? Catback? Axel back? also what kind of intake? The next things I would suggest is a header and a re-tune (or a piggy back device for adjusting timing and air\fuel ratio).

The rest of your exhaust system is your next step. Right now there is only one header made for our cars. It is made by M2/Megan(same company with 2 different names). The quality of it varies from person to person, but its all we have.

As for the rest of your exhaust between the muffler and header, I recommend getting a good shop to do custom job just because what is made by other companies is overpriced. If you go this route there are lots of options, so just do some research.

After that you you can tune with safc2/neo or uprev. If you do not know anything about tuning you will want someone that does to do it for you because you can do bad things to your engine.

If you want to do suspension, there are lots or drop springs and coilovers to choose from.

If you want big power you could also turbo your car, but i dont know how deep your pockets are and deep you want to get into it.

Just do your research and ask questions.

Catback means exhaust that replaces they whole piping up to the catalytic converter. Axel back is replacing piping from the Axel, Also known as a fart can heh. Axel back exhausts are usually useless and only server to make noise but little to no power. Full exhaust systems replace the Header (the exhaust manifold) the Midpipe (which usually houses the catalytic converter)and the Catback.
