You gotta a problem with it? It's not yours, now is it bubba? 8-10 db lower and still pulls hard enough to break the tires loose while rolling at 30 mph with an A/T!!!! If it was a 6 spd I wouldn't touch it with an exhaust insert, but it's not....it's an A/T!

Umm it worked......Advice: Hitting that bottle late @ night, can be a big problem MoncefA33, you could actually install your 3" catback on incorrectly or stick it up your wrong hole :0

Just shipped the last unsold catback yesterday and took the first advance order today. We'll take 10 orders - and those people get the best discount @ $739.99 - and then order the next production run.

Bring it on you guys, I want to make another batch or two before the snow flies! Give us a call @ 800.759.9920, open 9-5 MST/PDT, M-F.

Brian

Just to be clear, I'll take all of your order information, but we don't take any deposits until the 10th order has been received and I've set up the production. That way, everybody pays at the same time, and nobody pays too soon.

No. The flex pipe is part of the y-pipe. The high-flow cat replaces the catalytic converter, which is AFTER the y-pipe, but before the cat-back.

I guess you'd say they're each a bit larger than the parts they "make".

Wow!!!! Already?????.....Damn Brian, I think you've got a hit here......might have to start a 3rd Gen twin tip Cattman Rear muffler or 2.5" catback (T409).....

Not as deep as the VQ35, but sounds good! I was trying to see the difference between the 2.5" and the 3" and it's hard to tell......maybe the 2.5" crackle and pops are slightly higher in pitch....thanks for the video....

Went to test out my Cattman 3" tonite @ Houston Raceway Park, they had a Biker Rally going down.....strip closed..."DAMN".... So I decided to travel to the west side of Houston which is out in Sealy.....LoneStar Raceway Park (Hennessey's Track) and they were closed as well...'DOUBLE DAMN"....Anyways, temperture @ HRP was 78-80* F, when I got out to LRP the temp was 66*F, I'll be finding out info and their schedule so I can run in some of that cooler air. I was able to do some wide open highway running with a Mercedes C430 coupe on I10 and frankly that Merc got left behind by 4-5 car lengths everytime we hooked up.....I'm really impressed with the high speed highway mannerism of my Cattman 3" Catback. It really breathes easier @ high speed compared to my previous 2.5" bpipe and OEM rear muffler setup!

Thanks for the props. Since we spend little (usually nothing!) on advertising, its this kind of "see/hear it, like it, ask about it" questions and our customers' testimonials that keep us in business.

Much appreciated, Rods03Max619, CMax03 and everybody else!

BTW, the mufflers and resonators for this system are purpose-built in house, they're not "off the rack".

Brian

In all honesty, the Cattman 3" quiets down after a few miles (450 for me) but, I cannot get over the way it makes my poor tires yelp. The 1-2 shift .... Srsly, I need to dyno soon. This catback is insane. Me amongst all people, whom NEVAR ( yes, that's an "A") believed in catbacks, until now, I'm a believer.

It looks and fits perfectly as well. Only possible concern I have is whether or not the tips are too close to bottom of bumper and potentially melt/deform it. Does anyone know the minimum clearance needed so I don't have to worry about it? Or would I be ok with a 1-2mm gap and as long as they're not in direct contact w/ the bumper? Will try to get a sound clip up once I get the flex fixed. Thank you Brian for producing a great system!
Hey. I also installed it on a stock 5spd DEK. When I first installed it it touched the bumper and melted a small bit of plastic, I eventually got it moved down a little by messing with the mounts. I have to agree it sounds great and is definitely more responsive. Make sure you tighten up everything after 1-2 weeks, I fudged that too and had a leak for some time I've had a sound clip for over a month on my friend's computer hopefully he gets around to sending me it :/
I think I'm going to have to do that ghetto JB Weld fix for the VIAS and get an SRI because I'm a little disappointed by the high-end and I know the DEK has a lot of potential over 4000.

Sounds odd for me to say, but it is so cool that this 3" catback performs the way it does. Couldn't count the number of times my customers have reported that mechanics, exhaust techs, and various other self-appointed experts in this business have said the Maxima lose power with a catback bigger than 2.25" or 2.5". Prior to its development, I didn't expect a 3" system to lose power, was skeptical that it would do much better than our 2.5" system.

Glad to say I was wrong!

I believe that the 3" catback on my 2001 3.0L V6 probably has better performance gains than if I had gone with the next generation 2002 3.5L V6. I'd really like to compare the dyno stats on fwhp and etc.

Your "RWHP" isn't going to be any higher than mine. I guarantee it.
