I have a 2000 se 5 spd and was wondering which y-pipe would be best. stillen, cattman, or any others? also which cat back would be best as well? any suggestions/replys would help. thanks

 

I have a y-pipe from budget, and it was a great deal. I felt a definate power increase and it was a great price of 180.00! The budget y-pipe is also stainless steel but they paint it with a grey coating. Im very happy with it. Also id go with the greddy evo II!

 

cattman...it's stainless steel and it is the highest quality, IMO.

 

some people said their cattman's leaked.

 

I recently ordered a warpspeed performance stainless y-pipe for my 2000 se. It hasn't arrived yet, but i was told that for the money this was a good one to get.

 

price wise.. i would go with Budget or Warpspeed..

Cattman and Stillen are more expensive... no real reason to pay that much..

I heard Warpspeed is a bit more quiet and have a nice flex section.. I think i'm going to go with an Aluminized warpspeed pipe.. i live in the northeast so we see snow and i'll get rust but i dont really care.. it'll last like 3-4 years which is longer than i plan to keep the car..

 

Get Cattman

 

what's wrong with getting the stillen over the cattman?

 

What the heck does a Y-pipe do and should I look into one for my '00 SE automatic? (Save the automatic jokes, I have a 5-speed for weekend fun)

 

Simply put, gives good amount of hp.

 

Nothing. Stillen tends to be the most expensive.

 

In your stock y-pipe you have a couple of "pre-cats" that really slow down the flow. Also the piping is only 2.25" and an aftermarket y-pipe is usually 2.50. The aftermarket y-pipe is more of a straight shot also. It sould be every maxima owners first mod!

 

Alot of us get Y-Pipe for our first mod.
