Nice! those and the Nismo cams are my next performance purchases. Im still yet to hear a sound clip of these.

 

decisions decisions
still debating wether i should get the Cattman Y-pipe
or go out and get the hotshot headers ....

Nice, cheaper than Stillen, better, and better quality.

 

Both those have SORRY azz flex sections. Way too small.

Check the inside of the flex Larry and see if it's mesh or accordian style?

Looks like it should fit, right?

 

looks wise, its almost a perfect fit (visual inspection). Its at most an inch or two off from the stillen in certain areas.

the inside of the flex is an black accordian style thingamabob. The flex section is STIFF has hell, unlike the cattman y-pipe that I had (8 in flex section)

 

Okay, the accordian is good, but that's still shorter then stock, I think.

 

I'm fairly sure its shorter than stock. I can always replace the flex section with a bigger one later on.

All I got left now is to test the TS ecu, purchase a b-pipe, install headers and recolate the o2's and i'll be officially broke. No more modding for at least 6 months.

 

Suuuuuuuure....I believe that.

BTW, I owe you $20 IIRC.

 

heh. lets see if these work first. I can almost smell the TS ecu already.....

 

are you going to have these installed, or do 'em yourself?

 

if i can get access to a lift at my friends shop, then I will install myself.

otherwise, I know another guy who is a nissan master technician. $50-$75 bucks

 

Until he gets started on it.

 

steve, check your PMs... I have a couple problems with the HS headers during delivery. I'll will be out of the country till the 27th, so i'll be checking PM's until 12 noon

 

You got PM.
