stupid cali spec car
im so peeved i should have checked the vin....ordered a fed spec ypipe cat combo on ebay from warpspeed and the cars a cali spec i cant believe it. i mean youd think that a maxima that was built and delivered to newyork in 1999 and mind you it was actually built june 98 would be a fed spec car danggit i wanted a fed spec maxima. why the heck does california have to be different i hope they fall in the pacific.................vent over...........sry had to vent a bit i was just shocked when i saw the "v" in the 12 spot on the passenger vin plate..........

Are you 100% sure that it is cali-spec? When I ordered my y-pipe last year I ran into the same thing. According to my VIN i have a cali-spec car but when I talked to Custom Enterprise they told me that some are not and it turns out mine isn't. The way to check is to look at the number of wire harnesses between the radiator and engine. If there are 4, then you have a cali-spec, if there are 2 then it is fed-spec. I lost the link that showed a picture of it, but if you want further clarification call CE.

well i have all 4 sensors in front friggin@^%#@&#^%@&*$. wish i knew that when i bought it. but all well next time i nkow what to look for. all runs well right now no CEL or harsh idle. so ill let it be for now. now i have to hope warpspeed diddnt ship the fed spec pipe yet. if not ill have to mail it back on my penny. all well. so performance wise are these worse than the fed specs ? if i put on a true CAI so i need a special one or does that only apply to the exhaust.....ive got a CAI on the way its the same as the injen but its off ebay (no fender cutting it goes between engine and batt. thanks

Don't feel too bad about it, I own a 99 Cali spec car, and I live in Maine, the furthest state(continental) away from California!! And the one with about the least concern about smog and emissions!

i own a 99' cali spec, i already have Y pipe from Warpspeed installed and its very different from the above years... but the other day i was wondering if its possible to remove or eliminate the front manifold pre-cat, thanks in advance
