I've seen these lamers selling them on ebay before:
http://search.stores.ebay.com/search...d=15&fp=0&st=2
Not once but several times. Their header for our max also comes with a y pipe painted in either chrome or black. I don't know if it's stainless steel or alumunized steel, probably alumunized cuz their marked prices were pretty darn cheap.

Unfortunately, they have never answered to any of my email questions. So, I don't know how trustworthy these guys are. You might wanna contact them to see what's the deal is, you might wanna call them up and ask. Their telephone is listed on their website, I think.

Will the headers from a longitudinally mounted engine fit a car with a transversally mounted engine? Really?

no 300zx headers will not fit our ride...if you want headers and have some money...order the cattman headers. they include the y-pipe as well. if you don't want to spend too much, get a y-pipe.

Not necessarily. Look at the design of the stock y-pipe (pics taken from Craig's site, thanks Craig).



Notice how the exhaust coming from the rear bank of the engine has to do a 180 to go towards the cat. This is a less than ideal design. Now look at the WSP y-pipe.



There is smooth flow from both sides of the engine, and the pipes are bigger and mandrel bent. Most members agree you can feel a nice increase in horsepower all throughout the powerband, most notably the mid to upper end. Equal-length headers coupled with a y-pipe probably produce even more gains, but they are cost prohibitive.

I love my wsp Y-pipe...easy to install and noticed a difference in sound and performance. However, I think its time to replace my manifolds. Anyone know if anyone makes aftermarket manifold or where I can get a good deal on some OEM ones?
