The Nissan Maxima mid-size sedan is certainly a favorite, especially for those looking to get the perfect balance of everyday drivability and a little more spirited driving. On top of that, the automotive aftermarket houses a virtually endless list of options when it comes to modifying the Maxima, satisfying the owner’s mod bug in every shape and form. That being said, our customer Shane Preslar treated his 2013 Nissan Maxima to a number of goodies to take it to the next level and help set it apart from others on the road. He modified everything from the vehicle’s exterior to customizing the cabin and giving his Maxima improved suspension, power, and sound.
Shane turned to Vivid Racing when it came time to tweak his suspension and exhaust system. For the former, he went with TruHart camber arms and a Stillen Rear Sway Bar. The TruHart camber kit is crucial for maintaining proper vehicle alignment and helps provide the most effective surface contact for tires. It’s adjustable and works well for both street and track use. Original Equipment sway bars are too small for true performance and that’s where Stillen comes in. Stillen’s rear sway bar works hard to reduces body roll and improves cornering for a difference you can feel.
And for the latter, he opted for none other than the beloved Borla S-Type Cat-Back Exhaust System for its power, prestige, and undeniable sound. The Borla exhaust note has become the quintessential soundtrack of high-performance vehicles and delivers a shot of adrenaline each time you step on the gas. In addition to that distinctive sound respected by motoring enthusiasts, the Borla Cat-Back system features patented straight-through and multi-core technology to unleash hidden horsepower, while enhancing exhaust velocity, driving excitement, and overall fuel economy.
