for those with budget y-pipe. can you tell me your setup for exhaust? i just got mine put on couple days ago and it don't sound too good. it's more like 80s camaro sound. and when i was driving my max next day BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT came on. you think it's got something to do with y-pipe? right now i have budget y-pipe and apexi dunk muffler with resonator taken out.

 

My brake light and battery light went on too. My problem was the alternater. Get it checked out fast! Checker Auto parts or Auto Zone sould be able to test the output of it. It cost me 600$ for the new alternater. Short time after the lights came on.. my car turned off while driving! its scary without powerstering.



The maxima has torque its should sound deep(like a muscle car). a Maxima is not a rice boy honda....

Do you like your y-pipe ?

 

What does the Y pipe do with the alternator?
it completely doesn't have any connection with each other..?

 

Maybe coinsidence?

 

hmmm..... well i haven't heard any maxima with y-pipe. so i just didn't know what to expect. and yeah ill go to autozone and check it out as soon as possible. hmmmm and i don't know if i like it yet cause i only drove it for lil bit. should i get a b-pipe would there be any difference in sounds if i got b-pipe?

 

oh and i read this just today @maximadriver.com

SPECIAL NOTE: If you have extra $$ lying around, why not change out your old o2 sensors? REMEMBER, after you're done installing the ypipe. Besure to remove one terminal to the battery to RESET your ecu..

so you think it's got anything to do with that?

 

If its the alternator, there is a recall out for some 97 maxima alternators, check it out.
