* Been waiting for jussssst the right thread for that icon.

 

Yep and you don't necessarily need it on the stock headers anyway.

I did mine on jackstands as well, and I feel your pain on that. It was a PITA.

 

haha I'm sorry but I found some comedic value in this. I can just see it... "RacerX1320" pounding down the track in a "00 Lightweight." Man I bet that thing is fast... 15s going on 10s, amirite?

If your happiness hinges on 1 horsepower at a time, let me recommend a different platform than a 2000 Maxima. You'll be way happier with a LSX equipped vehicle!

 

Bend it, literally. It's going to take lots of effort but bend it, and try to bring it up on it's side if that makes sense

 

I love this thread.

 

Oh, I finally got it. It took a branch cutter, but I got it.

Felt good to pull it out, throw it on the ground, and smash it to smithereens.

 

Yeah, I did that, called it a pos, than smashed it down. It decided to get the last laugh and richochet towards my rim...

 

How'd ya'll get at the rear manifold bolts? From on top or underneath the car? I need to find a way to get that O2 sensor out, too...

Christ, I should've done a full, solid write up. Well...kind of late now.

 

A mixture of both for those bolts. Just get at them where you can. I used an actual O2 sensor socket that I bought for a few bucks at autozone.

 

I feel u but from what I remember the worlds fastest maxima is an auto... I'm just saying... mod for mod in our na 5.5 world a 6spd is faster, and agin I don't care about mod for mod, i I'm taking on all NA (whatever NA mods in the maxima world) 5th gen.... I do however realise that u are having a blast

 

Somebody refered to datdude20... my boy (went to the gym with him today) idk how I forgot about him... point proven... thanks to whoever posts

 

All I can say is should we actually line up, you best be hoping that I sleep at the tree, then spin the tires, and miss a couple of shifts. I've rolled across the line after missing both 2nd and 4th gears faster than your PB.

 

there are 10mm bolts...use a wratched

 

Lol...man I refuse to get involed with this argument again...I proved the headers are prolly the best bang for the buck last year...247 untuned with a 14.2afr
It should not be anything else to say...I have had the headers for almost a year and. haven't had no major problems...jus the flex section and that is only because how low my car is and the speed bumps where I live. Other than that others have also proved that the obx headers run with the best of them...my boy phantom-v put down 255 and shift_123456R put down 257...soooooooooo what does that tell and yal still look look stupid for trying to bash them....jus worry about what u have and if someone ask a question about your cattman headers then help them out.if someone ask about obx headers then let someone who has experience with obx headers help them out....it would make obx vs cattman **** a whole lot better. I will gladly and I mean gladly prove once again obx headers are worth buying......LINEITTEFCUKUP!!!!!

 

all im sayin is 3.0 headers should not be on 3.5s.......

 

The whole 2 or 3 people who came into this thread and said they aren't worth buying were quickly ran out by everybody.

If you're referring to me, though, it doesn't take me owning OBX to have dimensions on the diameter of the Y-pipe and pictures of the collectors. They do put down great power and that has been easily proven, but when someone brings up the inferior Y-pipe everybody jumps down their throat because "cattman" is in their sig... LOL @ that.

I guess if OBX was in my sig and I said "well the OBX has a 2.25" Y-pipe, and cattman has a 2.5" that has to count for something" would you guys not get offended?

 

okay so.... this is growing a great debate against the OBX/CATTMAN ERA.......

I can only speak for what i have... and i have 3.5 headers on my 3.0l.... i dyno'd 231 with my 3.5 and 3.5 headers and cutout... i havnt dyno'd the 3.0l yet and i still have the 3.5 headers i still have the cutout but i added a 2.5 in megan catback and a sp2 knockoff muffler..... but anyways to me headers will be headers!!!! Just Do some RESEARCH... also the OP asked 3.0 headers or 3.5 headers not a comparison between "cattman" and "obx".... IMO they are worth the money...

 

Has Deezy been hitting the bottle again?

 

QFMFT

 

Ill remember to hope for that .... u should hope that you can evern beat jaypee99... ill keep this post saved so WHEN I win ill bring it up again

 

Dude I honestly don't give a hootnanny about what u do...I would jus like for u to shut up...I don't remember my y pipe being no damn 2.25 anyway

 

who in the hell honestly uses 3.0 headers on a 3.5?

 

My y-pipe is 2.5 inches in diameter.

Sparks is very knowledgeable so he must be referring to the collectors before the y-pipe. Probably just a misinterpretation.

 

I thought we were all finally starting to come to a compromise on this..
Welcome datdude

 

Quoted for truth


I will only say this....... I do own Cattman headers. Im not bias I have my own reasons, SOME people care about more than peak numbers. The OBX V2 headers were not out when I bought the Cattmans. I dont know if I would buy a brand new set of Cattmans again though.

 

Those are shortys, ew.

 

I'm pretty sure he's already tried that lol. However like the rest of us, the bolts are extremely small and usually rusted= probably stripped.

 

However once the org starts getting borrinnggg these things usually spark things back up.
Let them dual!

 

you do realise that there is a bunch of dudes that has the cattman headers with the egr bung right.............. 3.0 iirc on a 3.5

 

use a cut-off and cut the bish's........

 

He said he already got them.

 

im not knocking anybody's knowledge and im not saying he is dumb, he is sayin OBX has gains over stock but not as much as cattman because of his observation by looking, and i am disagreeing on that...
EXAMPLE... lemme use two generic brand
If i buy Jerry's headers and the y is 2.25 (which my OBX isnt) and it costs 200 and i dyno 150whp, then i buy Toms headers for 450 and it has 2.5" y with a thicker looking pipe but dynoed 150whp then what the hell does it matter?????
What im saying is that i agree on cattmans quality fitment and all the shinanigans, but there is no proof that cattman made more power over OBX, NONE... every car dynoes something different and what we have to work with is a ball park range and not some exact number... but what gets me the most is that OBX header threads always get nasty cause of some dumb post about cattman... im going to make it a point for whenever i see a cattman header thread im going to jump in with "I LOVE MY OBX HEADERS" then leave... how does that help, seriously...
this is a rediculous comparison here
Squirell82 (best painter in the U.S) dynoed 234whp with intake cattman headers and cattman exhaust
Grand_hustle17 dynoed 238whp with intake OBX headers and cattback
i would never even make that comparison cause thats not fair at all, but we are in the same ball park numbers, that 4whp could be due to weather, engine condition, mileage, whatever so its impossible to make exact number comparison

 

Well said. Period.

 

Nomore back an fourth........

 

Headers dont make power on these cars, it all comes from ebay short ram intakes.

 

who da hell use dem damn shorty 3.0 headers on a 3.5?

 

somebody before me cut the bung off, so i had to have it welded, if u look close at the picture i posted above u can see where.....

 

So let me get this straight. You challenge me as if it were even a contest, then you bring up jaypee and hide behind him. I would call that a b*tch move on your part, but it would probably result in a ban.

To clear things up about jaypee, we are not rivals in any respect other than being the 2 quickest active 5.5 gens. I've never even talked to the guy, although he seems pretty cool and he's a helluva driver whereas I've openly admitted on multiple occasions that I am not.

Considering this header debate has turned into trash talking, I'll just leave it at that. Good luck to you grand_hustle on your quest to beat me.

 

we have to setup a track meet after the dyno for this call out

 

im not hiding behind anybody, maybe you have comprhension problems dude.... this time will really be the last time i ever say this before i consider anybody who doesnt understand a true retard...........
Grand_hustle17 calls out all N/A 5.5gen thats not from the DMV (DC, Maryland, Viginia) tri state area... whats so bishy bout that??? Lemme inform the forum seeing as though u wanna act like u dont know why i said what i said.................. Maxima.org there was suppose to be a MD vs NC showdown at one point... Jaypee99 vs sparks was suppose to be the match up, Kingjames vs Grand_hustle17 (im sure some remembered that cause that was in the 5th gen section also) datdude20 vs a couple of others and so on and so forth hence why i keep bringing up jaypee's name... i know sparks probebly never accept the challenge and never thought about it but thats the main reason i keep brining it up................
