I was wondering..I put a straight pipe thats 2 1/4 with a naxos muffler on my 93 max se not too long ago and i was wonderin if it restricts power in any way or does it give it a lot much more power?the guy at the muffler places said around 20 hp?is it true?

what do you mean?? Catback pipe and not cat or what? explain your setup.....oh yeah and I doubt 20hp at the wheels off exhaust, even with a hi-flow Y-pipe setup you're probably looking at more like 10-12hp at the wheels!

What they did at the muffler shop was..they took out the cat converter and the old piping and muffler and put in a whole new 2 1/4 inch pipe and a performance muffler i bought and welded it all together..i feel a lil boost at high speeds..but that might be the CAI..i dunno..but damn the piping and the labor for 80 bucks..it aint that bad

I see now. are you still using the stock Y-pipe?? not a bad price at all though, but about the HP gains, the mechanic was either really over-confident about his work or just taking a wild guess!! I doubt catback gains alone will yeild anymore than 5hp and thats with 2.5" piping(according to Greddy) so if you don't already have a hi-flow Y-pipe, I'd get one cause then you'll really feel that car pull!!

So if i get a Y pipe how much HP will i get?plus how much is that cause im mad low in cash..hehe

but the <a href="http://www.warpspeedperformance.com/nissan.htm">Warpspeed Y-pipe</a> will run you about $255(aluminized steel) and $350(stainless steel), not bad considering Cattman's pipes are $1-200 more! as for HP gains you'll be looking at around 10hp to the wheels(not the imaginary HP estimates most products give). AKAICEBERG just posted a review of this Y-pipe on this board(its probably a couple threads down), and from what he's said, its an awesome mod!!! I'll be getting mine hope fully this spring......I hate being broke!!
