An OEM nissan exhaust gasket has a 3" ID? For the maxima or a different car?

yes we get gaskets from brian, but I believe all his gaskets are one time use gaskets. So if you have to make adjustments to your exhaust you'll need to buy new gaskets.

Brian provides the 1 time use items for the catback (x2) and Nissan reusable crush gaskets for the FastCat. (x2)


If CMax03 has time, buy some Nissan crush gaskets and send them to him to have him grind them to 3".

For your info these gasket are the Stainless steel laminated (2 bolt)gaskets, like these:
Top: Oem reuseable SS gasket @ cat front and rear but fits every flange on the 2.5" and 3 " catback systems.....I enlarge the ID to 3".
Bottom: Is the gasket supplied with Cattman exhaust system ......one time use!

the one time gaskets really arent even one use. gaskets like that almost always start leaking after not too long. I bet if we looked around we could find 3" steel gaskets to fit this

I don't abuse my car revving it to the redline without a load on it....I personally have never been one to freewheel it to the redline at a standstill or for the hell of it...I believe 5K was hit or surpassed in this Vid that's good enough for me.....as far as the exhaust burble/gurgle it does it upon decceleration, but no back fires or pops cause I'm running a Hi-Flow Cat. Most testpipe guys experience the popping and flame afterfire burst not mine......

Those spacers are the best. They're my favorite performance mod for the price. I got them before headers/fastcat/3" catback and still love what they do... probably my biggest complaint with my Maxima was the huge performance loss in the summer as soon as the engine heated up on a hot day. Thanks to Aaron and his spacers, the performance loss in the heat is far less. Oh, and I love my Cattman setup. 3" catback is amazing. I just wish it didn't have to go UNDER my car where no one can see it
Oh, and Rods03Max619, do you have a Block-off Plate? (just curious)

All the NWP products are well conceived and executed. Keep in mind that we sell all of the NWP line through Cattman Performance too!
