You wont find Cattman products for any cheaper unless they're used, have a defect, or group deal. Cattman makes TOP quality products, and you get what you pay for.

There are other brand headers for Maximas....less expensive yes, but good quality...?

they sound good but a 160 dollar ypipe is so much cheaper. if you are going for performance spending the extra 1,000 dollars for the headers and install is no way worth it.

then just get you a soundclip of a 800hp supra and play that over your stereo. Now that is a good sounding car .

Seriously though imo the tons of extra money is not worth the difference if you are NA

hey ceasar, what happened to your whole cattman set-up? Did you end up taking off the headers when you went overseas?

Headers are worth it only if you have a VQ35 or a boosted VQ30. I would not have bought mine if I had stayed with the 3.0.

The 3.0 uinits are adequate for flowing well enough, the restriction lies within the y-pipe on this engine.

The 3.5L exhaust is essentially the same hardware of the 3.0, hence not very optimal for .5 liter more.

All 3.5L 5.5 gens are Cali spec.

Yeah, headers give like 15whp on a 3.0 and 25-30 on a 3.5. As for boosted... I think I saw a dyno which showed the car had 40 more whp.
