Don't take those crossmembers off, just modify them a little

Mine was modded to make room for an extra resonator, but if yours is hanging low then you have the same need.

 

Spark I though about that but the OBX headers design is sucks where it meets the stock cat. It makes it hang little lower causing me to take it off. I'm considering doing what you did with your setup.

 

You'll have to have a hangar mount fabricated to the OBX ypipe since they forgot to copy that part.......My buddy just had that same thing addressed since it was hanging more with my Cattman 2.5" catback he's test driving on his 02 Maxima......

 

See where I got it weld and got it bolted. It doesn't go up or down or sideways.

 

Don't cut your brace just have a muffler shop lift the OBX ypipe and weld on a hangar rod and fit into existing hangar bushing above the ypipe, here's my picture....

see my clearance done right by Cattman's perfectionism when it comes to fitment:





Need one of these!!!!!!

Here's my ypipe hangar:


Here's my cheap mount that stays put!!!

 

What type of sound are you gona get from this? like ricer sound? how much louder than stock?

 

There is about 4 to 5 video of this exhaust. No, It doesn't sound like ricer and it's a noticable louder only at certain RPM range depends on the load.

 

Yes it's louder than stock but not obnoxiously loud, More of a deep ballsy idle that is barely noticeable, under part throttle acceleration the car is a little louder, here's a sample:

 

anyone trying to get rid of their 2.5 exhaust?

 

Maybe.....my is being test driven by another 5.5th Gen Orger, How much would you pay for it....It's a Cattman!

 

So did you ever find out why yours hangs so low? Are you still rocking the OBX header? Found a shop to weld hangar rod?

 

cant wait til its my turn to pull the cord on these... still saving still saving... any word on the next batch? and "raised price?"

 

It also depends on if you have headers or not. I dont, so it isnt really THAT loud. It's noticeable but not obnoxious either.

I dont know how particular you are with your money but you don't have to save up for the full amount. He charges you a deposit of like $220 or so and then he'll charge you balance the day before he ships it. It took mine about 6 weeks to get to my door step. So if you ordered it now you'd have about that too save up for the remainder if not longer depending on how many orders he needs to get another batch going...

 

Hi Guys,

I just placed my order for the 3" Cat-back with Mr. Cattman himself. I am order #11 on the batch. He will submit the batch order to his fabrication shop soon. So if anyone else wants to jump in and get the backorder discount, this week would be ideal. Or else you may have to wait for another 10+ batch order in the future.

 

ill place my order this coming friday lol... i can get the $220, when ima get the rest idk...

 

Hi Guys,

BTW, for those who wants Cattman's Headers, he will also submit the batch order soon to the fabrication shop. I placed an order for these along with the 3" Catback.

 

Couldn't be more happier with this message cause production is about to happen!!!

 

Since Friday when I called Brian and talked about it I've gone back and forth and I just can't justify spending that money on an 8 year old car.

I really wish that I could but I'm just going to save that money and spend it next year or the year after on a newer car that I can make even faster.

Edit: Still second guessing myself..

 

This is awesome that the 3rd Group order is going into production soon.....Wow! there's still plenty of desire for this setup and don't be surprised when the 4th group starts ordering....really soon!!!!!

 

I already know why it hangs low. It's the design. The pipe that curves from flex section and meets the cat needs to be raised to fit nicely and tucked.

 

I got that done the day I got it installed. Still no help. If I get it pulled little more up top it would break.

 

Have you tried reversing the cat and ensured that the Catback has the dot located @ 12 o'clock, that resonator front flange is angled on Cattman catbacks.....If everything is correct cut the OBX ypipe rear flange and reweld it on properly.....

 

Yeah everything is in correct position. I try talking to the exhaust shop to build me a proper y-pipe to meet my cat. They said it's hard to work with SS exhausts. I have to find another exhaust shop now.

 

I'm just gonna have to be first on batch number 4 as I doubt I can come up with $850 that soon... ill just hit him up Friday to be first on the list for batch 4

 

Dont know if you want to do that cause he got like 12 ppl and I know he makes a couple extra so that might go to you, since maybe Friday or Monday the deposits will be taken for the 3rd batch!!

 

oh o.k i gotcha, so how long does it normally take before they get done??? cause i may not have all the $$$ til a months time, not tryna BS him or nothing i just wanna be serious when i pull the cord... i can easily put down the deposit this friday but i wont pay in full til probebly 3-4weeks

 

I think it would take 3-4 weeks for the production be finished!

 

Oh o.k ill hit up brian friday

 

How many people got test pipe on here with this exhaust? How many keeping the stock cat?

 

I've heard the sound on 2 maximas and if ppl cry and say that's too loud then that's really petty.... for anybody who was at maxus.... jaypee's car was running a test pipe.... sounds great

 

I have a fast cat, sounds fine.

 

Main reason for me to ask this because I heard the one with the stock cat and one with test pipe. Test pipe one sounds more throaty(GOOD).

 

i agree, im definately running a test pipe... sounds better to me too..........


can somebody tell me what company cattman delivers through as i have a major problem with the FEDEX where i live at... hopefully its UPS, the FEDEX here is terrible and the package will more than likely get sent back to arizona and if that ish happens somebody is getting shot (seriously )

 

UPS for mine, call and ask him

 

cool, that sounds good, he'll be the first person i call tomorrow... well not the first (given the time difference) lol

 

i have a 3inch test pipe and 3 inch cattman catback and its not that loud at all.....i dont know y...maybe its because my intake is so d@mn loud

 

one of the cars i heard a test pipe on... his resonatorless greddy was easily 10x louder... sounded good under WOT though

 

Where did you buy the 3" test pipe from?

 

Has anyone bought this nonresonated and used it NA?
