I am planning on buying an Apexi WS for my 98 Maxima. It says that it's only made for 95-96. How hard is it to fit it onto a 98 Maxima GXE?

 

i fit says it wont fit it prolly wont. nothing a little weld and a short piece of pipe won't fix, find an exhaust shop nearby.

 

It will fit but you need to drill a hole for our extra O2 sensor. It will also sit about 1-2 inches back behind the muffler. I have one and never got around to adding a pipe to extend it outward.

 

it fits.....u might melt the opening the ur rear bumper a lil.....i bought mine off a guy with a 99 and he had no real problems..he only sold it cause he went with a SC and 3" all the way back....its not 2.5" all the way...so i would have shop make all the pipign and just buy a unversal APEXI WS muffler...but thats me

 

oh was this for a full catback? i thought it was just the muffler.

 

EteRnity059,

In your sig, shouldnt that read Ionicdynamics CF kit or is Ionic Designs a new Co.?

 

they sell both.......the cat-back is made for 95-96 maximas where the o2 sensor is after the cat......97-99 its in the cat

 

Haha,
I guess I should fix that. Good catch.

 

Hello Guys, I have a 95 Maxima with the Apexi WS Exhaust. I love it to death but one problem is that the "B" Pipe or intermediate pipe that runs from the cat to the exhaust is all rusted. It is not fully Stainless Steel. I installed the exhaust in summer of '01 and now I have to replace it. Apexi no longer makes the WS for the 95-96 Maxima. The difference between 95-96 and the 97-99 is the size of the O2 sensor. I am just giving you a heads up with that problem. I ordered a GREDDY (fully stainless steel) and am waiting for it to arrive. I love the sound of the Apexi WS but they are discontinued.

 

No, its the location of the O2 sensor.
The 95-96's have it in the cat, the 97-99's have it in the B pipe.

Apexi makes the WS2 now, and the universal muffler which is probably the way to go.

I used to have the Apexi WS exhaust. The guy who had it before me had it on his 97. He had the o2 bung created in the B pipe which I plugged up and ran mine from the cat.

 

99 do not have a o2 sensor behind the cat. at least the cali spec that i saw are like that.

 

When I tried to order a WS 2, they only had it for the Altima V6 applications. I am also sure that the size of the O2's are different.
