I am considering putting mud flaps on my Maxx. In previous posts a few people mentioned having them. To those people I ask... Could you post some photos of what they look like on your cars? Would you do it again?

The trouble with K&N is they do not filter all that well. Yes, you may get a slight HP boost, but you will be pulling in a lot more dust, which will contaminate your oil and possibly scratch the cylinder walls.
 
It might be better to simply change your air filter a little more often than usual.
 
The FTC evaluated the Tornado and found it worthless.

Speaking of engine mods... by kurtamaxxxguy

I wonder what the cost would be to replace the whole engine and Transmission of the Maxx with the Engine and transmission of the Malibu SS?
 
I chose the Malibu SS, not the Maxx version, because the gearing of the Malibu SS engine/trans is the same as the Maxx.
The Maxx SS is geared so "short" that the engine revs way too high at cruising speeds and guzzles gas by comparison.
 
Probably not worth the effort or money, but would be interesting to know...

06 chrome knobs on my 05 Maxx by meandmymaxx

I have always thought the 05 Maxx's centre stack was too bland, no colour at all. Then in 06 they put a chrome ring around the knobs for the HVAC and radio. I thought just what it needed just a little something. Well had the HVAC controls replaced under warranty for peeling paint. They didn't have any 05 in stock so they used an 06 with the chrome knobs. I liked it so much I bought the chrome knobs for an 06 and put them on my 05. I am now a happy man. It is amazing how little it takes to please me as I get older. Now if I could just afford the rear view mirror with the auto dim, compass and Onstar controls, it would be like Christmas.
