As I sit behind my computer, staring at a blank computer screen, I ponder the evolutionary history of automotive electronics, thinking back to the earlier days of import cars and the limited technology that was offered. In the early '90s, turbocharged Honda's began rearing their ugly heads, terrorizing the public highways and local drag strips with their newfound horsepower. Proud owners of these force-fed machines found themselves experimenting with aftermarket fuel computers equipped with what's now considered to be an outdated DOS program. Not only were these standalone fuel computers a costly upgrade, but they proved to be difficult to tune and overly complex for the average enthusiast-until A'PEXi came to the rescue.

Altimate Sound
Looking to gain a few horses out of your '02-05 Nissan Altima? Borla has a new, bolt-on method of gaining that kind of power. It's called an exhaust system and it is made from mandrel-bent stainless steel piping that is 2 1/4-inches in diameter. On the muffler is a rolled edge, angle-cut, 4-inch tip that gives off a very stylish look. If your Altima needs a little more grunt in performance and you want it to sound like it does, pick one of these up, they're guaranteed for a million miles.
