Not worth the install, especially on the 3.5.

You get what you pay for. I wouldn't buy anything else other than cattman or HS.

Also if you want cheap get a civic.

The headers for the 3.5 altima they sell dont look too bad, looks like an equal length design, unlike the maxima design which is basically a typical y-pipe with "shorty" headers.

Search the web about SS Autochrome. There are a lot of negative things about the quality of their products. Check them out for your self though. I'm pretty sure someone here tried these a year or so ago and they showed no gains at all.

buy headers (and other mods) from a reputable company that specializes is products for the maxima. these companies actually do R&D using a maxima so the fit is better.

Look at the picture of those headers shown in that website, then look at this thread:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=512293

I think you can gather all the info needed that way...go Cattman or go home

IMO the new ones look like a pretty good design and would be a good choice for a budget mind. I don't really like the fact that they don't have an equal length y-pipe, though

yeah i was thinking the same thing... but the fact that the inner diamater is smaller than stock turns me away from them :/

yeah sucks the OBX arent equal length and have a slightly smaller diameter but on a 3.5 i think they would have a good gain for 300 bucks. The new design looks 10x better than the first design. So does anyone know if these will fit 02-03? i know the headers have EGR but is that the only difference?
