So first of all, I'd like re-introduce myself. I've posted here a couple times asking questions for my mom's 94 Maxima GXE. Well, I rolled my Eclipse last weekend, so the Maxima is now my car. I'm gonna miss having a stick shift, but other than that, I'm fairly happy with it. So... y'all are gonna have to deal w/ me a lot more often now!

According to the FAQs and other posts, it seems that a Y-pipe is supposed to be good. But, the only HP/Torque #s or dyno charts I can find are for the 4th and 5th Maximas.

Does anyone know what type of performance gains a Y-pipe with and w/o an intake we'll see on a 3rd gen?

Also, the FAQs mentions Cattman Y-pipes a lot, but when searching, I found a lot of people here at WSP pipes. Any reason one is better than the other? Is there a 3rd y-pipe that's even better?

Thanks,
Ruban

 

WSP hands down...

Better fit, better construction, more hp and tq, cheaper, and much easier to deal with.

All around WSP is the way to go...

 

Any other opinions?

 

WSP all the way! If price and quality aren't enough to pursuade you...they're really cool, fair guys. You'll save on shipping, too. They run every facet of their business with the idea of passing along low prices to the consumer. I think everyone who's dealt with them was more than satisfied with the end result.

 

WSP is what I have. Cant beat it. Inexpensive and pratical. I recomend over anything else.

 

Warpspeed......it took me from a 16.7 to a 16.2....so yeah WSP hands down, its TRACK PROVEN!!!!!

 

I was one of the very first to have a Ypipe for a 3rd gen... way back when cattman was the only to make it except for custom local jobs. After the dang thing broke I got another one, this time a Cattman SS Ypipe. It is very well built, only problem is with eibachs if you are not careful you could bump it on the road and dent it slightly. I have heard that WSP has no clearance issues so if I had to buy another one I'd probably go WSP. But my future plans don't call for another one, muhahahaahaha.

 

I'm getting a Warpspeed too.

 

WSP's customer service is great. i was about to buy the Y from them but the guy that did my exhaust offered to do a custom one. . . i would personally go WSP all the way. .. .

 

i would also go with the WSP y pipe, but here is another company that sells one for $179 pretty good price, but the shipping would probably be more since the company is in canada.
