Besides them looking nice under the hood, it's not something I would spend 400 on. You can spend half of that on a y pipe and get a lot more power. The 00VI gives you the top end power just the MEVI gives you, but does not sacrifice the low end.

That's not too bad of a price... I sold my NIB MEVI kit around 2 years ago for $350 IIRC so that really isn't too bad.
The MEVI is basically the same thing as an 00VI, except you sacrifice some low end torque for high end, whereas with the 00VI, you do not loose any low end power. And its much easier to install than an 00VI.

The MEVI works well with those who have an upgraded ECU; it makes up the low end loss the MEVI causes.
Pound for pound though the 00VI does make more power throughout the entire rpm band vs. the MEVI, but you can't go wrong with either considering the stock manifolds choke up the car at 5,000rpms and beyond.

Not bad ! Its not something I would buy but for oem quality you cant go wrong...
This is what the US maxima should have had in the first place! Why didnt we get it anyway ? I hear it makes 10 horsepower and that would have put the maxima at an even
200 at the crank.

I noticed this the other day, but if you click add to cart then it has a red dot which means out of stock. I think I'm gonna try buying one anyway to see if it comes or if they refund my money lol. I'll let you all know.

Update: I bought a MEVI from courtesy march 28 and it came in yesterday! I didn't know if it would come because it says "out of stock" once you add it to your cart, but it still lets you checkout. So, yes, they do have them. I guess it just took a month to track down all the pieces from across the country. If you order one and you don't have it in a few weeks, don't worry. Mine took just over a month! But it's in my garage now and going in this weekend!

00vi and Mevi are simply put the most pointless upgrade for our cars just because of the pain it is to install. Not so much the price. because I can see it being that price because there is a lot of parts. but really you only get a 20hp gain IF that on high RPMs really. So in other words. It is only useful when racing. If your gonna be a quick guy on the hwy or take nice but not full 6k launches from starts or stop lights. This kit is simply not for you.

But for one that is looking for the most power out of their setup, I dont see it as being a waste.

I can't speak for the MEVI, but do you have an 00VI? I guarantee if you had one, you'd be singing a different tune. The 00VI turns your car into a completely different animal. And it is not that difficult to install. I'd never taken on a job like that and had mine done in a weekend, taking my time, no problems at all afterwards.

the DE-K has the 00VI which is better than the MEVI, so really I dont think you would want to change it. When you get it, just sell it on here, someone will buy it.

The MEVI is great, all OEM parts a slight torque loss but I don't even miss it I'm boosted. with boost and the MEVI it just screams all the way to redline... its awesome
plus the MEVI isnt plastic so less parts break... the 00VIs had those problems before. I've had my MEVI for 7 years and love it

The VI on the DEK is an OEM part as well and shouldnt have a chance of breaking unless he removes it.
If I didnt already have a MEVI Id go the 00VI as well.

Old post but I understand. Everyone says that the y-pipe is the ultimate upgrade but in reality, I couldn't feel ****. I was quite pissed because I even did the cali to fed conversion. I'm sure that there are dyno gains but it's not as good as everyone makes it out to be.

But if the DEK already has the VI attached, which Im sure it does it wouldnt make any sense to remove it in place of a MEVI.

The cup for the VIAS cracks and fails, its plastic so it can be problematic. Not a difficult fix and honeslty it should be reinforced before it goes into a car.
Yes if a car comes with the 00 VI I wouldnt swap it for the MEVI but on a 4th gen the MEVI is a great reliable upgrade.
