dumb question, but does the engine and trans get supported by anything else besides the crossmember? i looked in the haynes manual but i wanted to be sure. And, for those who have an aftermarket y pipe, is it higher, lower, or the same height as the stock one. just looking for more clearance in my quest for lowest maxima. thanks

 

Motor/transmission mounts.

 

there are two tranny mounts that attach to the left (driver's) side frame. one under the battery, and one a couple feet back from there.

As for the Y pipes, the Warpspeed one was designed specfically to not ride any lower than the crossmember, because as I was prototping them, I put a huge dent in one of the first ones on a parking cap because it hung too low. after that, they've fixed them.

I don't know about the others, but last I heard, Cattman's still hung below the crossmember.

 

thanks matt, i hadnt considered putting in a y pipe, but maybe itll help me get a little more clearance.
