It'd help if you showed your high-poly.

Also, I'd advise against trying to bake normals in Maya. xNormal is free ans substantially better.

It looks like you havent properly defined any hard or soft edges. One smoothing group will cause problems like that

If you feel like this is causing too many problems, I would recommend xNormal instead for map baking. It's free!
