after christmas im going to buy a Budget Y-Pipe. I was looking at their web site and saw two different kinds for my max: 1.T-304 Stainless Steel, Mandrel Bent F-pipe and 2.4th Gen Maxima California Spec T-304 Mandrel bent F-Pipe
So im just curious what's the difference in the two and which one i should buy.
thanks

They are both the same except for the connections for O2 sensors.
Determine which one you have on your car now, if you need help call Budget they will tell you how or I am sure someone here can tell you how to do a quick visual to determine which you have.

fed spec = 3 O2 sensors total
ca spec = 4 O2 sensors total

95-96 = rear O2 on the cat
97-99 = rear O2 on the b-pipe

the only cali-spec 4th gen maximas were some 99's. and since it says you have a 96 you need a fed spec pipe.

Hmm...thats funny because i have a 96 and mine is Cali spec...

explain how you came to find out that you have a 96 cali spec.

I have the nissan program and when I put in my vin, it tells you whether its Fed or Cali (along with all the other info on your car)....and mine said "Cali.S" instead of "Fed.S". Thats how I know its Cali spec

Where the hell do you even find that stuff on their website?

which nissan program are you referring to?

Or, you can just call your local nissan dealership and the parts clerk or service managers/techs could answer that question for you. There are numbers/letters in the vin that designate certain differences in the vehicles, such as LSD for example.

check you local smog laws aswell.

whats mandrel bent?

mrnock

i believe its the method of bending the pipes. stick it in a slot and turn the machine.
