I am looking to order a Y-pipe for my 2001 5spd Maxima. I am undecided on which one to get. Does anyone prefer one over the other? Also, when I do decide, is it a good idea to have it installed by like Meineke or Midas? I would do the work myself, but have nothing in the ways of tools. Thanks

 

Cattman if harsh weather and rust is a problem.

Stillen if weather conditions isn't a problem

WarpSpeed...do they make one yet?

Mostly likely, Meineke or Midas won't install it for you because you are removing a pre-cat.

 

I think warpspeed only came out with Y-pipes for 4th and 3rd gen maximas.....are they planning on doing one for the 5th gen?

 

I figure they would.

 

I think its already out but I think I've heard of quality concerns of their products vs the other two pipes.

 

Yes we are working on a 5th gen Y pipe, we are working on a Y pipe as well which will replace the CA emissions precat as well.

As far as quality goes they are a quailty assembly, it ain't artwork but they have no butt welds in them which restrict flow, we just run the welds a little hotter for better penetration. They are all custom mandrel bent and are stronger than they need to be. We have run into a car or two where where the clearance is a little tight but most fit right up and slip right on.

While I am at the Exhaust show in Memphis Friday I will be talking to some of the experts about the sensor issues and some of the different flex sections that are now available as well as some mufflers.

Maybe thats the quality concern... eheh I don't really care if my Y is pretty or not
