requesting exhaust clips with cattman header/y on vq30de/k

seen all the ones on youtube and need more... everyone on there either has a quiet greddy or cattman cat back, or a stock b pipe or the video is just inside the car or the video is like 15 secs lol i wanna hear a maxima uncorked with these headers/y

i gotta decide on cattman header/y or hotshot header/y... i've been watching video's comparing the 2 on the vq35. i know almost no one has hotshot header/y to showcase for me on a vq30de/k but more people got cattmans. so let me hear those three point ohs!

2 threads necessary?

Anyways, what are the goals you have for your car? Personally I have high goals and I am holding off to get custom true long-tube headers because I want to eek out every last HP I can from my engine. Before you started modding you should have developed some sort of goal/plans so you know when you have reached it/them and can have a stopping point. That being said, unless you have high goals and can do the work yourself I do not believe headers are for everybody. Considering the cost and possible cost of installation the cost/benefit ratio is not that great unless you NEED not WANT the HP from headers. For relatively the same cost you could just add a conservative shot of NOS and accomplish the same goals. No matter what anybody tells you, installing headers on a car is not easy and nice headers are expensive and most shops demand a pretty penny for installation. If sound is the determining factor in your decision then perhaps you would be more happy spending the money on a cat-back system

As for sound from equal length headers, they'll pretty much sound the same. Its what you do to the rest of the system that'll change the sound.

just tryin to get some more sound clips...

lol i've got more than a cat back... i was trying to get a sound comparison between the two but the pretty much sound the same. the hot shots a tiny bit gurglier like the obx vs cattman, just a tiny bit but i think i'll enjoy the fact i retain egr and o2's are in the right place.

ya i'm noticing that... they sound almost exactly alike. i think i'll like the cattmans cause of the ease of installation and undeleted egr.
