Drone Or Not?
Hi guys, been a while since I last posted. I'm hoping that admin can post this up in the sticky exhaust compilation thread up top.
WOOLF (Brian Catts says they're very similar to his) equal-length 6-2-1 short headers and Y-pipe
Twin COBY (NZ Tuners) Resonators (cats not necessary in NZ)
RPS Cat-Back
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArV72SaBXzo
There's an exhaust hangar that's loose near my resonators which is the rattle you hear just after start-up. What do you guys think?
BTW - the first big ALL NISSAN drag day in NZ is taking place July 18...big smiles

Thanks man.
I think you'll only find them here in NZ as they're just up the road from where I live - but going on what Brian Catts says Cattman headers are probably the closest (and probably better quality than the Woolf ones - they're meant to be fantastic) you'd have up there.
I'll get some pics up when I'm back at work Monday bro.

phats ive been moving house, might have to locate the speakers and plug them up for a bit of a listen !
edit: whoa thats phat dude ! sounds great when you got own it ! you say you know where the rattle is ? i have a nut and bolt around where the muffler and piping connects to the bpipe, from time to time it comes loose and i have to tighten it up real good. mine is a bit more of a nasty rattling noise when it happens.
be sure to bring that camcorder and smx maxima to the meet in july !!
if you plan on allowing your passenger seat to tag along for the race, you can put certain style camcorders in between the seat and head rest, then you just push the headrest down on it real tight and snug. ive done that a few times.

Weird that one of the most popular Max/Cef/I30 headers came from here.

Here it's a miracle any of us mod maximas. My car still gets jokes thrown at it all the time by the local scene made up of mostly S13's and S14's.

ha ! you can buy a universal pod filter like K&N here for the maxima, and thats it for mods, i saw a body kit once. its a ghost town over here for maxima mods ! you want a ypipe here, tough luck unless its custom made.
on location, no, i just swap it around all the time, trying to stay ahead of any thugs that might wanna pinch something off the mighty max

Have heaps of drone machine RB's pull up next to me pretty much every day and they haven't got a hope off the line except the GTR's of course. The RB's are reputed to be terrible under 3,000rpm. Up top is a totally different story.
The rest of my friends all have the 240's with SR and KA-T's in them. Then there's like one lone GTi-R and the guy doesn't know how to drive haha.

Thank boys for the compliments but like I was saying to CC on our local .org site it's just sound, CC will still kill me at the drags. Need other things to bring my ET up and my 1/4 mile down.
I could distract CC and steal his car on the 18th...
