y-pipe?!?! should I do it?
#2
I got to drive a 2000 maxima that had a cone intake and Cattman stainless Y-pipe. The Y-pipe gives the car a
low deep tone, almost a low V8 grumble that sounds oh so sweet. Add a intake and the car pulls like a freight train down
low and at high speeds. It's money well spent if you have it to spend.

but it's definitely worth getting one. your car should pull alot faster once you go over 3500 rpm...
my car used to stall...but not anymore. it was more prone to stalling when i was low on gas. now the rpm just dips down a bit before i come to a stop.
i guess my ECU finally learned the Y-pipe or something..

so the ECU learns? i didnt noe that.. hmm... so if i accelerate to 60 in ten minutes every time and never hit 2000rpm my ECU will think im a grandpa?? no offense... just wonderin.. and the Y pipe stalls your car?? even an auto?? i didnt know that either.. hmm... explain??

??
So is the stalling problem only with an auto? Also I would appreciate it greatly if someone could give me some audio of how it would sound.. I would hate to do it and have my care sound like one of those rice beaters

rice beater doubt it i have it and people love the sound of the combitnation of my y-pipe and intake...... it gives it a low tone that isnt very noticable over the intake it wont sound like a rice beater i know where u r coming from but i would never do that to my car...its worth it i highly recomend it... it was one of my first mods

Stillen Y-pipe vs Cattman Y-pipe
Which one is better between the Stillen and cattman's y-pipe beside one is Stainless and the other is Ceramic coted. I want to get the stillen pipe because its a little cheaper and plus I already stillen muffler and stillen intake. And you say the note from the pipe is as deep as a v8 huh? sounds cool!

I had my local Nissan Dealer install my Cattman SS Y-pipe a couple weeks ago. They reported absolutely NO problems with the procedure. They charged me about $90. After looking at the stock piece, it doesn't surprise me that an aftermarket piece yields more power! I noticed a significant difference on the butt-dyno and at the track.
I had a GReddy cat-back system and a Stillen hi-flow intake in place before my Y-pipe install, so I was accustomed to a louder-than-stock exhaust note. The new Y-pipe installation resulted in a somewhat louder exhaust note with a low-freq rumble. I love the sound I get on downshifts, but at WOT, that baby is LOUD! It does sound more like a V-8.
Most drivers do not expect to hear *that* sound coming out of a Maxima. I notice a lot of double-takes. The fact that I shaved-off my emblems just adds to the confusion.
So far, so fun...

I was pissed then so I called Cattman who I bought the Y-Pipe from. They checked my order and assured me that they sent me the correct one. The representative told me that they have instructions on how to install it and they will send it to me. There is a certain way it must be done. I'll have to give these instructions to my mechanic to install it.

y-pipe stuff
Dan 93 SE here. The y-pipe does not add h/p it just unleashes power that is lost because of poor design. Just look at out WarpSpeed pipe and compare the OE version. The OE version actually has the rear down pipe exhaust flowing against the front exhaust flow! Plus removing restriction will help alot as well. The louder sound is probably because the flow isn't restricted. BTW our new web site will have the feature of allowing you to listen to a Maxima with y-pipe on it.Hope this helps a little.
