I've seen these on VQpower and now a store seller is selling them on ebay. They are both stainless steel and tig welded, i can get the set on ebay for $310. Should I go for it? or just get a y-pipe from budget?

I've heard that the gains from headers on a maxima arn't very amazing, but after looking at those dyno runs on VQpower.com, i'm starting to wonder...

 

i asked about these before, and people say those headers are pretty close to stock size. not much gains at all. definetly not worth it.

thanks a bunch dude

 

no problem.

 

from what i heard those dynos were fake as well....i might be confusing this with something else.. maybe the JET ECU?

lol

 

My dynos weren't fake.

The gains are maybe 2hp over what just a ypipe alone would do. For $170 you can possibly get a Warpspeed ypipe...but I don't know if they're being sold that cheap anymore. Even if the combo is for $310 it isn't worth the time or money it would take you or a mechanic to install.

Just my 2 pennies.

 

Yeah WS y-pipe is still $160 brand new in the Group Deal.

 

dyno was real. i was there



waist of money, only advantage is you can claim to have a complete aftermarket header back exhaust.

oh and they are another peice of shinyness under you hood.

 

Umm I am going to buy these by the end of the week and if I can dyno I will post numbers. I do not have a base dyno but you can probally tell what I make over other 4th gen automatic maximas.

 

why would you do that after these comments?

 

will the stone racing short headers bolt onto a ws ypipe

 

because I am crazy.

 

yes they will

 

That in no way will tell us anything.

 

at least you're honest.

 

THOSE HEADERS SUCK!@!!! why do you think no one really go crazy over them.
like it is said, you get what you pay for. $310? lolz, cmon man. i can make you some just like the stone headers for like 100 bucks.

 

well then don't read my thread.

 

your post, not your thread, and besides, if you want to know, only people with stone heads will buy stone headers for their cars.
trust me, dont buy it. you will regret it.

 

 

you honestly think I am going to lose power or something?

 

just trying to help you out bro. for this is why we are on the org. to help eachother out. just hate to see a maxima buddy waste his money on something that wont even help. well....either way, its your money. but if i was you, i'd rather save that money for the 7 hundred dollar header, and get 10-15 hp rather than $310 dollars on a fake dyno that no one proved that it will give you any gains. from what i remember, someone from the org, a while back bought those. he did a dyno on his car before and after, and he actually showed loss of 4 hp on headers alone. think about it.

 

I don't even have a y-pipe so I think it will be a gain anyway.

 

didnt i just tell you that the guy lost 4hp from headers alone? ok doode, i dont care anymore. you get those headers, and let me know if they are worth it. good luck.

 

thanks guys for all the encouragement.

 

Read my post further up the page before you start spouting hp losses and fake dynos.

Torgus's friend, the 1st prototype, may have lost hp. I gained 2hp over what a normal ypipe would have given me. But I didn't pay $310 for the header/ypipe combo...

I am definitely not 'for' getting the headers and I don't tell anyone they should. I just wanted to point it out that you have incorrect info.

 

I am getting baseline on the 19th. so everybody can shut up and I can prove or disprove if they make any power.

 

Just letting you know that it's not a valid comparison. Don't worry, I won't post in your threads.

 

ok, somebody has already proved that it does not work. so i guess you can be the second person to let us know something we already know.

 

okay and if they work I am going to go in your face.

 

haha, sure, good luck with everything i guess.

 

actually, they won't bolt on at all

 

why not? They are both direct replacements.

 

it requires some sort of modification. it is not a perfect fit.

 

i think you are talking about the OBX headers which dont clear the front engine mount

 

There is nothing wrong with the headers. you don't lose power. all your doing is adding some chrome and you can say you have a header back aftermarket exhaust. for the price it's not a bad deal. it's only a bad deal if you are paying someone to install cheap basically useless headers...bah. buy them and give us lots of dyno #s and dyno graphs make sure you get it all on disk.goto the same shop. do 3 dynos each time yadda yadda yadda
