Hi Guys,

I have to replace my y-pipe -- the flex is broken. There is a group deal going on at WS, and I'm thinking of taking advantage of it.

What are your impressions about the WS Y-pipe? Is it compatible with our model - 91 GXE ?

Are there any issues i have to guard against?

And what about the exhaust noice -- is it noticeably louder...since i like the one the stock produces?

For 160 shipped, it is quite a good deal !

thanks.. Noela

 

same thing happend to me and me VE.... i actually just orderd it yesturday (although for $215 shipped, damn VE motor heh) there fully compatable ive heard. as for noise im not totally sure, but if you leave everything else stock it i cant imagine it getting much lounder

 

It's a tad louder than stock, but not much. Warpspeed is great to work with and makes a good product. it may take you a little while to get it because of all the group deals on them currently but when you do, you'll be happy with it.

 

good deal..how much for a 90 se?where the link for the group buy

 

I put one on my VE a few months ago and I didn't notice much of a difference in exhaust noise. I could definitely feel a difference in power though

 

wats the big deal about noise.. its not ricey..if u got a system u wont hear it.u want ur car to growl when ur floor it anyways..ur intake will be louder than ur ex. if ur mufflers stock

 

Y with stock exhaust. Nice growl and quiet

Y with aftermarket exhaust = pretty loud

Y with aftermarket exhaust with 2000+ maxima muffler = perfect

 

I have a 91 GXE that supposedly has a WSP Y-pipe on it but I don't know how to visually tell. What should I look for to be certain, since I might be parting my car out or selling it?

 

Y with cutout open and stock exhaust = LOUDEST!

Y with cutout closed and stock catback = PERFECT!

 

I agree i have the SS ypipe and im pretty happy with it. It does give it a little more growl, but i also had other mods to the exuast at that point. You will be happy with the product.

 

bump... none of you can answer this?

 

Here is a pic I had on my computer... the top Ypipe is the stock one. The bottom one is an aftermarket one that will look almost identical to WSP's Ypipe.

 

nice pics..anyway,im getting one of those things soon w/ a 2k muffler

Perfect!! thanks.

 

Bouncer, so does it have an aftermarket Ypipe? I am guessing no.

 

would it be a good decision to just get the y-pipe and put on the 2000+ exhaust from the cat-back?

 

Can somebody please post a link for more information on the group deal. Also does the group deal include y-pipes for the VE?? thanks

 

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....e=4&pp=30..its here in the gd..also any problems or extra steps u need to take to bolt this on besides the rusty bolts?

 

anyone else notice you can cruise at say 75 mph @ 3k rpm and after the Y install at 75 its only at 2.8k rpm? Is that pretty normal?

 

Sounds like your y pipe is playing head games with you

 

Nope, serioulsy runs about 200 rpm lower with the Y on.

 

y is that maybe more air is leaving thru the exhaust..does ur car idle the same..any vibration..power come w. a price,u should be able to get more power now thru the rpm's power band then.

 

if your car is an auto maybe but if its a stick nnnnnnnnooooooooooooo way in he11

 

Well it's stick. I have no hard proof for it, but it is seriously lower. When I go home on the interstate I always set my cruise at 3k rpm....which was 75 mph. Ever since I put my Y on when I set it 3k I am running ~77-78 mph.

I have no idea why this is and can't explain it. I have the same tires and sme set up as before except for the WSP Y. Who knows.

 

that damn VE engine I tell ya, get a VG...nuff said

 

well while the site was down i got my y pipe.the reason for doing this is like others i smelled the fumes and had heat coming from the shifter.the noise got loud *** hell.1st i thought it was the flex..then the bad news came about the y..well ok..then he stated that the bolts and rear gaskets were bad..well ok..then as a tech i said how much..426..i got the y pipe,new o2,gaskets,all new bolts,plus labor for that price..i trust this guy and he showed me all the old parts.did u solve ur heat problem yet?could it be the manifold bolts?holla back

 

I got mine for 160 shipped. It is the best 160 I ever spent on the car

 

is the y-pipe easy to install?
Whats the phone number, and what do i say?
90 max

 

Daaaaamn! read a little bit, why don't ya?!
look up a few lines.

 

back to the RPMs... i noticed mine is down by about the width of the needle at 75 mph. mine was at 3k too but not its just a tiny bit down (also a VE)

 

cool, i just ordered mine for USD$180 shipped to Canada!

 

great buy..ull fell ur car elivate to another level of performance..great throttle response,ull be a sleeper on the highway once ur car has i/y/e mods
