Warpspeed because of testimonials and pricing. Love this product. I installed it myself and it bolted right in with no problems what-so-ever.

Warpspeed - An established company that is working on many more products for the Maxima. A great deal for $225 - mandrel bent Y-pipe that fit like a glove, and they are made in the USA,

Cattman. At the time WSP was just getting starting and having all kinda of problems. My first gen cattman pipe served me well, so I went with a new one.

The pipe's been perfect. Worth every penny.

As much as people here hate the company, I picked stillen. At the time there weren't enough testimonials to show that Warpspeed would be reliable and Cattman was more expensive.

BUDGET A group buy at $150 US installed or shipped, T-304 Stainless Steel, there is no choice. My 13.8 second 1/4 in an auto didn't hurt either.

PS Best reason to choose Budget. They answer the phone, return emails and will take your order or answer your questions.

I bought my Cattman through Group Deal from Custommaxima.com. Chose Cattman because of quality. However, I regret it. Spent over $400 for a pipe that had terrible fitment problems. Now, it's working but I am worried about the flex section. Have not gotten to inspect the flex yet. Once I have a flex problem, I'll toss it and buy either WSP or Budget.

Warpspeed, aluminized mandrel bent. Went in very easily, but I did have to bend the front cat hanger a bit so it wouldn't vibrate against the chassis. No problems after a couple thousand miles.

Pretty much the same with me. I bought my Stillen a while ago and have been happy with it.

Same here. The hanger kept rubbing against the hanger post. I had to bend the s*** outta the hanger, but it's perfect now. I love getting on the highway.

You said exactly what I was going to say.
I dont think I have a flex problem. I attempted to check to see if I have a flex problem but the bolts on the cat were very tight even with an impact wrench so I stopped trying in fear that I would break a bolt off.
