Searched for bout a hour on phone with no straight foward answear but found a guy selling headers and y pipe brand new no name brand for 200 he said came with his 01 maxima 3.0 and he sold car so no use...would they work on my 99?

 

Yes. Main difference between 4th and 5th gen headers is the EGR bung on the rear header and extra o2 bungs.

 

damn, well that sucks!

 

is it still worth buying just for the y pipe? then maybe sell headers to 5th gen guy?

 

If the headers look like this then I wouldn't bother.


I had a set of these generic shorties a few years back, only installed the y pipe that came with em. They were initially 1/4" off and I had to spend some time with a hammer and crowbar to make the y pipe fit on my stock exhaust manifolds.

 

yah their about like that, I was just looking on ebay their 180 shipped headers a y pipe i bet i can talk guy down 150 if so ill do it.


my question is will i still get a good gain from their cheap y pipe over stock one? and why not go ahead and install headers too? think they will crack?

 

and why is it that u type in y pipe for maxima its 275 bux for cheap ebay one and if u type headers u get headers and y pipe for 179?

 

You will still get decent gains over the stock y pipe. You can install them if you want to. Some people don't want to go through the hassle for the little gains of shorty headers when they could do the same amount of work with headers that have longer primaries (cattman & OBX) and free up even more power. I doubt they will crack.
Those $275 y pipes definitely don't look like the cheap ebay stuff. The 179 set is just that, cheap ebay parts.

For the record, I am not knocking ebay parts at all. I am running a set of eBay headers for an Altima, but that's another story.

 

Yeah I actually found some of those El Cheapo Headers as low as $129 and as high as $220.....I'd spend that little money and fab them to work perfectly if necessary so they fit together without any stress! I'm sure they're a upgrade to the stock manifold and ypipe but longer headers promote better scavenging and more torque....

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention 95-99 and 00-01 are compatible and a perfect fit all have EGR port provisions where as 02-03 don't have any EGR provisions.....like these:

 

For $150 you can have a good quality y-pipe made locally.

Just sayin

 

Where?

 

Aackshun's secret

Y-pipes coming soon

 

don't mention it if it's a secret then.......

 

lol............so the headers from the 01 will fit good?

 

yes
