WS Y-Pipe & PR CAI... Love it... Pics
Man, I love this combination, I Just in stalled my WS Y-pipe Yesterday, it finaly settled in, No "Bees in a Can" just like WS says. The Y-pipe Dominates at High end speeds, and allows for a bigger/longer lasting powerband. Also, a problem I noticed with Automatic Maxima's is "no matter what the max shifts at 6500 instead of 7000rpms, Finaly, I decided to put my car in 1st and race, I took my car past 6500rpms up 7000rpms finaly, it was amazing how much power my max was skiping out on, now i know why i lost all those close end races.

No, When I first installed it i heard a noise for about the first 5 times i took off, none ever since. Though, When i start my car up I can hear some noise, not bees in a can, more of a raspy sound, but just at start up for the first second or two.

I guess you don't have one then. The REDLINE is there for a reason and the car shifts at 6500rpm for a reason too. Don't go past it! I mean you can but why? Your car loses power after 5400rpm, you just went to 7000rpm, not the best thing for the engine, and wasted 1500rpm...

Acually, I felt a Gain and I took the lead on these guys because I was able to stay in gear longer. Also, If my Gauge along with every other guage has a Redline at 7k RPMS then I don't see why it auto-shifts after hitting only 6500rpms, if you are telling the truth, why didn't they make the guages read 6500rpms as redline? Manufactor cheat?

your redline as well as all 4th gen maximas(without an aftermarket ecu) is 6600rpm
the mevi is the middle eastern variable intake, for simplicity think of it as nissan vtec. it gives our cars the power above 5400rpm that you are talking about.
the y pipe is an amazing mod however and gives great noticable power
hope this helps
have fun

A great response!Tight-Whip let your transmission shift automatically, when it's supposed to. Holding the RPM's up longer isn't doing you or your transmission any good.

Actually, please don't think of it as the 'nissan vtec', a better description would be 'similar to the intake manifold on a 5th gen maxima, which helps produce more power where we lack it now, in the high rpm range.' Not to undermine anyone, just wanted to give him a better explanation.

for simplicity most everyone knows what vtec is

About the only things VTEC and the MEVI share is:
1) A solenoid operates them
2) They increase upper rpm performance
3) They both have a distinctive sound on the swithover

i wash my hands of this, explain it however you all like
