damn i friggen want a pair. That would sound nice with my vi.

 

are these the cattman's?

 

any inside clips?

dude that stock muffler, cat, and b pipe sound like they are really holding you back...

 

these sound great though!

 

yes they are

 

Well inside you can only hear the Intake, but yeah full catback will be in soon

 

Nice videos, i bet those headers would sound better with a greddy sp1 exhaust..

 

Yeah man, you need the full exhaust now... It sounds good though, definately

 

I'm still trying to decide if I want the Greddy or Cattman catback. I still need to hear the sp1 in person. Come to Az Al so I can hear it

 

Heheheh fo sho Danny... Any new meets coming up?

 

not that I know, but since I got my clutch now any meets going on there?

 

i like i like

 

nice i love it too bad i cant afford one

takentomax what does the vi sound like i would love to hear clips

 

On y2ksesteve's car, with the cattman headers and cattman cat-back, when the VI opens, it almost has that "bees in a can" sound to it.

 

opti which catback you going with ????

 

I can't really explain it...just a different cleaner sound from the stock manifold.

As for the "bees in the can" sound, it must be his exhaust because it sounds nothing like that.

 

got some in-car clips, or some drive-by's? It sounds great btw, but with a cat-back will sound much better. I don't think it sounds particularly mean or menacing with everything stock back of the headers. Heh, guess I'm just bitter cuz I don't have Cattman headers!

 

man you're trying to taunt me arent you! cant wait to get mine finished already

Matt on our forums has greddy sp1 (not SWA matt...) sounds pretty damn good but other than that his exaust is all stock (no y-pipe or anything). i can get you his # if you want

 

naw man.. but we can always organize a meet for yah..

 

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get the cattman catback unless I hear the sp1. I know how thw cattman's sound and I love it

 

here are two clips of Steve's car with MEVI, Cattman Headers, and cattman catback. Hope he doesn't mind me posting them.

WOW. Who would've thought a 4th gen could sound so damn good??

Makes me wanna throw my y-pipe/b-pipe/magnablow muffler setup in the garbage RIGHT AWAY!!!!

 

omg that mevi gets rid of that raspy sound of the intake it sounds sooooooo clean i understand exacly what u mean takentomax. i wish they made an ecu with a rev lim for a 98.....thats whats holding me back from a mevi

 

Wow Nice!! Startin to make me think about getting the MEVI/Cattman Headers
instead of doing a 5spd swap.

 

You getting cattman catback?

 

Definately not understanding the "wow" factor involved with these headers. They are definately not exotic sounding like so many people on this board seem to exaggerate. Sounds just a little bit louder than stock exhaust/Y-pipe.

And that 4th gen wit the cattman everything sounds like...guess what...just about every other maxima with intake/exhaust...

That is sick

 

sounds awesome

 

Your ear isn't as sensitive as the rest of our's, that's all it is. You're exhaust-tone deaf. The cattman headers take the stock exhaust tone and raise it an octave higher, but apparently you didn't/can't notice...

 

Next mod for you = new headphones or PC speakers.

I'm fairly cynical about "X" sounds better than "Y" with max parts. But the two clips of dude's car with the mevi and headers sounded MUCH different than just a y / intake, etc. If I had just heard the sound clip alone I would have guessed a higher revving, performance-oriented sports car like the 350Z.

Sounds a lot better than the diesel truck sound clips I have heard so far.

 

Awesome vids danny and steve

After working on numerous vq's at SWA, I have to say that there is a big difference in sound from the headers.

 

to the masta
Thank Matt

 

hey matt good to see you post once in a while! wanna help out with my header install before you leave

 

If you say so. Hell, i have some sound clips of my setup which sound actually almost identical yet its a totally different setup. Im just still not understanding the big hoopla over these headers...

Actually i never said it didnt make a difference. Id be dumb if i said that. All i said was that it was not exotic sounding like soooo many people tried to say. It definately gives it a tone, but nothing thats drool enducing. My point is, while yes it does raise the exhaust tone up a bit, its not what everyone is cutting it out to be...

 

I've herd your clips before. And well the word we are looking here is not "loud". The main difference here is that the car sounds like a well tuned import and not like an exhaust with flowmasters.
Notice how Steve's car doesn't get that raspy noise near the redline? Thats exactly what I'm trying to accomplish

 

the only nice sounding NA cattman header exhaust is that guy iron lungs with the cams....and dual exhaust

boosted, the headers are very important from what I read...on an NA maxima headers are useless, our cars NA can barely max out our stock headers!
somewhere in the line of 5hp over just a y pipe...and 3 hrs of labor...

boosted maxima's have seen 20hp more to the wheels over just a y pipe!!!!!!!!

I think the sound just sounds more refined and cleaner with headers...but nothing exotic like everyone is saying!

 

You nailed it Danny... You're pretty much one of the few that's willing to spend the extra dime in getting a good set up. Wether you choose the cattman, or greddy I'm positive you car will sound badass. Not like some exhuast that was thrown together, like the duals with a flowmaster..

 

i saw this one coming lol lol lol
