anyone with obx catback.....has anyone had a problem with the b-pipe being too long?? The exhaust place is telling me that it is too long and the only way to fit it is to cut and weld it???

 

I don't own one myself so I wouldn't know. But I belive I have seen this issue on the forum in the past.

 

What year maxima do you have? A 97-99? Because it sounds like you may have the catback made for a 95-96 maxima. Since the B-pipe on those years is longer than the 97-99's.

 

Yes and No.... The b-pipe on the 97-99s might be shorter, but there is also an extra peace that is between the b-pipe and cat on 97-99s. This is all replaced by the OBX exhaust. If this extra peace wasn't replaced by an aftermarket exhaust then you would still have a major restriction behind your cat. My OBX b-pipe was the perfect length.

Get the shop to show you what they are talking about.

 

on my 98, my exhaust sticks out about half inch to 1 inch.

 

On my OBX the B-pipe was also too long, it was very easy, they just cut it around 4-7" and welded it on. On my OBX, it was a round canister muffler that said "99+" but in pictures of other peoples they have the oval style muffler. I dont know if I got the correct year.

 

Mine was oval?

 

the shop held the b-pipe to the OEM b-pipe and there was a good inch 1/2 of extra piping on the obx pipe...car is a 99 hopefully i don't have as many problems with this as I have had with warpspeed y-pipe's!

 

Is that a question or a statement? lol

 

My OBX went on the car fine with no problems except for the tip alignment, which I fixed easily with metal hose clamps.....
