california car?? What is the diff??
I am looking at a 99' maxima se 5 speed, It is from california. What mechanical differences are there? Will my fed y-pipe and b-pipe still fit the same on it? (going to transfer over my exhaust) Does it have more o2 sensors, or less power, what is the main diff??

so what is the power diff? And where are the other 2 sensors located at? But the y-pipes are the same? So what you are saying is that my auto is probably as fast as a 5 speed? My auto runs 15.5 with heavy 18's.

I don't know why you would want a Cali-spec if you are not living in California. If you want to go from automatic to 5-speed, get rid of the 99 and don't buy another one. Look for a low-mileage 97 or 98 and avoid the infamous ignition coil problem inherent with 99s.
The Cali spec vs Fed spec discussion has gone on ad infinitum on this board and having been a member since February 2004 you shouldn't have to ask these questions.

Supposedly, the fed spec has a bit more power because the cali specs have a more restrictive emissions system. I am not sure on this because I've never drove a fed spec. But that is the general consensus.
Look here for the o2 locations. Credit: Jatan

The Y-pipe is not the same. Different design.
Never said the auto is as fast as a stick. Autos are slower in every way. The only advantage of an auto is, it is not prone to human error.
