Altima upgrading (non-engine) help

[AznAznAzn111]

I was thinking of interior lights with pulse. <==== plz give yes's or no's
Also i was thinking of nismo body kits but i could not find pics on some of the parts and a cat exhaust and was wondering if magnaflow is the way to go?
PLZ HELP

There is no Nismo body kit for a 2005 altima. IIRC there isn't a nismo kit for the 02-04 altima either. Just a spoiler, rims, and graphics so this is as NISMO as your 05 will get.


Unless you like wasting your money and having a crappy sounding exhaust don't buy a magnaflow cat-back. But that is just my opinion. There are plenty of better cat-backs available and if you go custom your possibilities are almost endless.

HELL NO on interior pulsing lights.

You don't need to put a bodykit on your car unless it's a serious kit and it's going to make your car more aerodynamic. Not look like a dumb ricer car.

[AznAznAzn111]

Yeah i noe
I was looking for the Aero kits but i really can't find any because I am kinda slow on the look ups, but the lights was there for my enjoyment LMFAO
Also if you can find me a better cat back, plz post the link

Im not gonna touch the body kit or light questions.

As far as exhaust, there are about as many possibilities as there are crazy folks that hang around this forum. What engine do you have?

[AznAznAzn111]

for now the stock engine of a 2005 altima 2.5sl

I listed most of the ready to bolt on exhausts in the QR thread that others posted in your "drifting" thread. Other than, you can go custom.

Most Altimas go for a custom setup with 2.5" piping, and a universal muffler. As with any smallerish 4-banger... throw a resonator in there if you want less "raspiness".

HERE'S THE LINK for a memeber on this forum that went through with a Nismo dual exhaust setup (had to use SE-R bumper).
HERE'S THE LINK for Tsudo's cat-back system for only $249.
HERE'S THE LINK for Magnaflow's cat-back for $467.
HERE'S THE LINK for some Apexi WS2 cat-backs anywhere from $430+.
Stillen has an axle-back system for $349.

2.5" Racingline Performance hi-flow midpipe/downpipe for our QR25DE Altima coming out soon!
-Pricing will be in the $150-$210 range
-Full stainless steel
-o2 bung
-Lined flex section (not standard braided which are lower quality, wear out faster, and are generally less expensive)
-Straight-through, no res, no cat (possible options, more $ of course)
...check posts on pg 4 for more info...




HEADERS
+ OBX, Nismo, Megan Racing, XS Power, Crazy eBay People

*NOTE* You will throw a SES if you do not get o2 spacers!!1!11!!!11!
**There is a member named 'MarkSpecV' on this forum that supplies headers with the required o2 spacers (comes with two) that work just fine. You can also order the o2 spacers by themselves.
LINK to his thread ---- He provides a Megan Racing 4-1 header with o2 spacers shipped for $215, an OBX 4-2-1 header with o2 spacers for $195, and an XS Power 4-1 header with o2 spacers for $175. The 4-1 headers typically give you more HP gains 3K+ RPM, and the the 4-2-1 headers typically give you more TQ gains in the lower RPM. Message 'MarkSpecV' for more info on his headers available.

Why do new people need to be spoon fed? Google it is your friend, try it.

If you want an off the shelf bolt on cat-back I would go with a Vibrant cat-back but that is just me. Also the Megan racing cat-back is another new choice but loud.

||| Some Altimas go for a custom setup with 2.5" piping, and a universal muffler. Concerning any 4-banger, get an extra resonator if you want less raspiness. I currently have an eBay 4-1 header and a Tsudo cat-back exhaust installed. The Nismo header is the best directly bolt-on header available. You can buy header/mid-pipe combos for the QR Sentra as long as you get the mid-pipe custom welded into your existing exhaust because of fitment issues. Otherwise, ALL headers for QR Sentra/Altima are compatible. For all years 02-06, you will need to purchase an O2 spacer and install it inbetween your lower O2 bung and it's sensor to trick the car's ECU into thinking it's pre-cat is still functional. 02-04's lower O2 bung is located on the header itself, whereas 05-06's lower O2 bung is located on the mid-pipe. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that an aftermarket cat-less header is the first performance upgrade for your Altima because the stocker's catalytic converter is prone to failure and is known to break apart allowing your engine to inhale pieces of it.

- HERE'S THE LINK for the Megan Racing cat-back for $380. Remember to check other sites for everything to find the lowest price. Don't be a stupid shopper.

- HERE'S THE LINK for Magnaflow's cat-back for $467.
- HERE'S THE LINK for some Apexi WS2 cat-backs anywhere from $430+.
- Stillen has an axle-back system for $349. If you want to keep your stock resonator this is the way to go.
- A header can be found anywhere, plenty on eBay.
