headers

What size can I put headers on my maxima? Can I put Performance headers on too?

Thanks Mike

I don't know of anyone that sells aftermarket exhaust manifolds for our cars. The stock headers are the same ones used on the 300ZX, so I doubt that you'd get a big difference in HP with an aftermarket one. Now, if you plan on going with a turbo upgrade, you'll have to change the manifolds. You may also have to fabricate a larger manifold as well.

I'm not too sure, but you may be able to get a shop that works with exhausts to make you a set of custom exhaust manifolds, but it'll probably cost you a good bit. I'd recommend going with a high flow cat and a mandrel bent exhaust pipe with a performance muffler if you want to get some better performance out of your exhaust. Save the manifold job if you do a turbo upgrade.
