Don't waste your time with that pipe. Fitment issues and looks like crap. Pretty sure other 02' maximas were dynoed and they lost power. I know the cattman costs a lot more, but will actually show gain unlike the budget and WP. My budget b-pipe had horrible fittment issues so I could immagine what the y-pipe would be like.

i didnt know budget made one for 02-03. they sure dont have one listed on their site. but if pana69 is a 00-01 then the budget is the best bang for your buck y pipe. checked his profile but he didnt mention.

Best bang for your buck...mine fit perfectly and looks just fine..not like anyone is ever going to see it. And they dont make them for 2k2+ i dont think, correct me if im wrong. I had slight fitment issues with my test pipe when i installed my y, test, and b pipes (all buget). Nothing any exhaust shop cant fix for less than $30. My whole exhaust cost me about $400.
