2001's don't have a VQ35.


Also I dynoed before and after with a stillen y-pipe. Gained 23 WHP at 6500 RPM. Peak I gained 15 WHP. These numbers actualy are from a before and after dyno, the after dyno had a y-pipe and UDP though.. I have a Greddy exhaust too, sounds nice but thats just my opinion.

Emax... I just corrected my post..Thanks for correcting me.. Not sure why I typed in 01 and 02..heh. I knew the 01's didnt have it.. but.. typed it anwyays.. rough day I guess.

Are you pleased with the power you have now with the y pipe after it was installed ? How loud was it afterwards and which y pipe did you get.. or didnt you retrofit the 00-01 headers on your car so you could put on a stillen 00-01 y pipe ?

And.. Stillen makes headers for the 02+ VQ 3.5 Altima.. Will this not fit ? Has anyone tried ?

It sucks that Stillen puts out more parts and more attention into the bastard little brother to our cars.. We should organize a gathering of 100+ 02+ Maxxy's to gather at Stillens store, and rev our motors outside their doors and demand more parts for our cars !

I dynoed 194.1 hp/205.4 torque stock. 215.0 hp/229.0 torque With WarpSpeed's Y & B pipes, air filter assembly removed and with a 2 1/2" pipe on the inlet of my factory muffler. I am sure I'm leaving some power on the table because of using the factory muffler but I didn't want noise. Noise is what you get with aftermarket mufflers. I am still running my factory precats and rear cats.

Another huge gain you left out is what you gained at redline.... After lookin at your dynos I think you should add that to your post b/c its well over 20 whp gained at redline. One of these days I will install my y and b pipes and get to the dyno. Ohh yea I'm an auto so I still don't count in some morons eyes as a y pipe dyno. Matt
