I have a Budget Exhaust y-pipe that I want to trade for a stock y-pipe in San Diego. The y-pipe has a small dent from hitting something in the road, but otherwise is in good condition. I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow.

Edit:
This should fit all 95-98 and 99-01 fed spec.

 

Wow weve got quite a few guys that would be interested! Ill forward your thread to em ASAP. Will be keeping a close eye on this

 

Cali or Fed spec?

 

This^

 

I'm down, but want pics an like already stated. Cali or fed? Highly interested if fed spec.

 

Uh oh. Looks like we got us a rock paper scissor match coming up.

 

No way, if fed spec I'll have mine removed tomorrow an can go out there on Thursday haha

 

Might as well go on meet day. Shoot me some gas duccets and well head over after the meet.

 

Lmao you kno I can't...or I would

 

Op where you at? Yes I'm impatient hahaha

 

This is off my 97 Maxima, so I believe it should fit all 95-98 and 99 fed spec. The y-pipe is still on my car, so sorry for the cruddy pics. I tried to get a couple different angles of the dent. Flex section is still in good shape. If you guys need any other pics, I'll have to go to my parents' place and jack up the car.

 

Renots, responding to your question to my post in the regional forums: yes, it's made by Budget Exhaust in Canada.

Also, for whoever wants the trade, please let me know if your y-pipe is in good condition. I don't need pics. Just take a quick look and I'll take your word for it.

 

If I wasn't so cheap, I'd drive down to SD lol

 

Fyi op thisll fit up to 01 fed spec.

 

How would this sound with greddy sp2?

 

I'm interested, pm coming your way in a bit. I'm willing to make the drive to sd

 

Why you goin back to stock? By chance have anything else you selling/trade?

 

The GRedy SP series is hands down the best sounding off the shelf catback for our cars (yes even better than cattman...Ive tried em all and experimented) so youve got a large margin for error

 

I didn't know that. Thanks!

I can't answer that. I have no other exhaust mods. All I can say is that with a y-pipe alone, it adds a slight low end grunt to the exhaust note, but not much else.

I failed smog. This is the first time I've ever had the smog tech actually visually check for the pre-cats on the y-pipe. I also had high NOx levels at 15 mph...which I always seem to have a problem with. I've replaced my main cat on my previous 96 maxima and my current 97 maxima the last time I failed smog, and that fixed the issues both times. This time, I'm hoping that having the pre-cats will help. I cleaned out the EGR guide tube and checked the EGR valve prior to the smog check, but this doesn't rule out the EGR system as possibly being faulty within the other components. People say that you don't need the pre-cats if the car is well warmed up (which I did), but I just don't feel like worrying anymore about the y-pipe. Plus I'm getting "old" and just don't rev up the engine much anymore.

I don't have any other parts to sell/trade.

 

I hate Cali smog well I'm down for the trade, my car is a 96 fed spec an last time it was smogged was in '11 an passed flying colors, what days are you available? I currently have Thursday's an Fridays off at work but the first week in oct they change to fri sat off. Let me kno what works for you so we can arrange the trade.

 

renots, PM sent.

 

Replied

 

 

Dang! Too bad mine is Cali Spec, you wouldn't hVe stood a chance Renots!

 

Haha with your late response you still would've missed out lol

 

This is officially mine!! Thanks for the trade.

 

 

Thanks for making the drive all the way down! My car passed smog today, but just barely. My 15 mph NOx was ~1300 and is now ~400 (max 437). At least I won't have to worry about it for another 2 years... Good luck with your car.

VQ'r, thanks for passing this thread along.

 

Ty for the trade!! The drive wasn't actually that bad. Kinda peaceful an no traffic an thanks for the update, was curious how your smog test went.

 

No problem man! Just glad both you guys got what you needed.

 

Rereading that slowly, I realize it sounded pretty
