The Stillen headers for the 3.5 Maximas are now available for pre-order thru us here!!!! You can pre-order yours for $840 including shipping to anywhere in the world (yup, even our friends in Canada)!!!!!!! They will begin shipping in exactly fourteen days!!!!!

You must call us to get in on this!!!!!

 

Dyno - install - dyno (same day, same settings, same dyno) $840 with no "third party" dynos is a lil crazy. The minimal amount for the dyno charges will be worth its weight in platinum if these put down good numbers.

 

$900 is a lot for something with no proven numbers.

 

Wow, and I just posted something makin a comment about how the headers will probly never be available. This is exciting, especially if they put down some good numbers! I think I just picked out my Christmas present $840 is up there, but hopefully it'll prove to be worth it.
What kind of work will be involved in the installation??? I've looked for a way to slip the manifold out, but cant figure a way without pulling some stuff out of the engine bay. Any ideas???

 

$840 with no dynos yippie SIGH.......

 

All the preliminary dyno testing that has been done on these headers has shown a 25-30 hp gain at the wheels.

once I see dyno sheets you will have a customer

 

Guys....guys.

This is an opportunity to be a PIONEER! First, to have them installed and dyno wins the .orgY brownie points. We do NOT have Honduuuuhs, so don't expect dynos with everything you buy. You guys don't have many power adder choices, so you'll eventually have to buy them once you buy everything else. Nobody, except HS will probably ever make these, so you're screwed.

Stillen DOES NOT MAKE CRAP! Buy it and you will have gains, but is it worth the $tealin price...if you have to ask, it's probably not worth it to you.

I'm betting <5hp, if it's just shorty headers on a NA car.

MY QUESTIONS:
1)Are these shorty headers or does it include the Y-pipe?
2)Why in the hell don't these also fit a VQ30?
3)What about the 2K2+ AERO lip?
4)Why is Steve so ?

 

'preliminary' testing is different than hard core results

that's like the 'preliminary' test results that said you "didn't" have cancer...

 

The dyno sheets should be available very soon. I will post those as well as soon as they become available. The numbers I posted are from Stillen directly.

 

betting less than 5 hp? that seems kinda low... seem to recall NA spec V's gaining over 10 hp to the wheels with the installation of HS headers, but then again it is a different engine. I won't be handin out my $900 before dyno's, but its nice to know there is another performance part available

 

$840? WTF?!?!?



I won't be the pioneer for this one.

 

1)includes the Y-pipe
2)VQ30 sucks
3)who knows Stillen thinks the fish gills would be a better seller
4)

 

Steve, lets do our own dyno with these on my car. The only problem is that i'm an auto. Shouldn't take to long, just a pain installing them. If they prove to be worth it than I will probably buy.

$840 for only 5HP gain?

I'd rather pay $20 for my ORG sticker and get a 5HP gain! Oh, and my "Nismo" valve stem caps give me a 5HP gain as well!

 

1. These headers do include the Y-pipe, see link I posted above.
2. These are only for the VQ35.
3. Still no word on the aero lip
4.

Edit: These headers will put out much more than a 5 hp gain.

 

You guys are going to pay $840 for headers and then another $840 in aggravation getting the exhaust manifolds off.

 

and I thought my UDP installation was hard. HA!

 

Or like "kinda pregnant"

 

 

I think this thread takes the record for fastest growing thread... been like a post every minute or so!

 

1)You posted while I was writing.
2)Should fit the same on the VQ30.
3)
4)

 

 

1)
2) You would think so but the person that knows this best is Emax and he says no way.
3)
4)

 

Others have bored out the stock manifolds and tried NZ shorty headers with minimal if any gains.

Now that I've seen that it's a long-tube header that APPEARS to be equal length runners, I'd GUESS 15-17whp max NA.

 

Until we see the dyno results, then

 

But that's just for the manifolds. This is back to the cat.

The cat would probably need tweaking, but shouldn't be too far off, right?

 

Third party needed for sure. Stillen dynos?

 

14 days = 2 weeks.

Gee... we have not heard "2 weeks" before.

Keep us posted none the less.

 

ohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboyohboy

 

I have a couple questions for you guys:

1) Is this a worthwhile mod for automatics or is it meant more for manuals? The reason I ask is that GoldMember said, "The only problem is that i'm an auto."

2) Aside from the $840 for the parts themselves, what would I be looking at to have them installed? Ballpark figure.

Thanks.

 

$tealin telling some schmuck on the 1-800-waste-my-time is going to get that, but Steve's an authorized retailer. I *HOPE* they don't feed them the same BS.

 

approx 8-10 hrs labor

 

The headers have been completed and right now are being coated, hence the 2 weeks. These will begin shipping out on the 27th.

 

1)Yes. It's difficult to dyno autos and get good dyno graphs, because it kicks down a gear(s).
2)Few hundred AT LEAST.

 

Based on the pictures on your site, there are no pre-cats in the headers but there are holes for the O2 sensors. How will the SES light be taken care of when the ECU sees no precats?

 

put a piece of black tape over the light.

 

How abour a real solution? Maybe a spoof or two?

 

if the gains are worth it i'll bleed the pockets and get it. how much hp is ideal for yall at this price?

 

According to Stillen, since all the O2 sensors will still be in place the ECU should not throw an SES light.
