Actually that is not completely true. Yes there was a slight loss in power from the dyno that I had before and after the install. As far as the butt dyno is concerned; there seemed to be a loss of torque, however it may have been distributed a little more evenly throughout the power band so you don't get the feeling of thrust at WOT.

Now, after nearly two years with cattmans 3", I have installed NWP's BOP ETL and 5 pc Spacer kit and with those supporting mods whatever I felt was lost has been returned and then some ( I mean a lot). each of those mods were installed with about 1-2 weeks separation and driven daily. Each piece produced a little better response to throttle; the spacers bringing the greatest impact. At any rate I should have the cattman headers/Ypipe installed hopefully by the end of week. But that's what I have experienced as far as a 3" cat back. FWIW. GLWS - it's a great buy. Sorry to jack the thread.

 

If you don't have no supporting Mods, then you will feel it but like Maxurlife..had the same parts before the 3" and all worked well together. Would of installed headers today but Damn rain messed that up...

 

And it wasn't just a little rain. We talking about A LOT of rain. Dogs were kayaking in the road.

 

Ha ha you know what's up....it was bad just kept going and going....

 

"It never rains in southern california"

 

Some days I wish that was true, since this is going to be the 2nd weekend I dont get to install my headers since I got them back from Coating...I need more POWER...

 

You would be right if these were <2.5L 4 cylinders. However, it's been well proven that mostly stock 3.5 maximas gain power with the 3".

 

What about the VQ30DE-K, would a 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust be adequate? Since it's better than the stock 2" crush bent exhaust.

 

From threads I've read in the past, a 2.5in would be just fine for the De-K. I believe there are a few ppl running 3", but they have tunes with extended redlines, headers, removed power rods, etc.

My car is a daily driver, and I have minimal mods done so far. With the engine, I have a grounding kit and an intake. With the exhaust, I only have the resonator deleted. Future plans are to get a Y-pipe, high flow cat, and probably (haven't made up my mind yet) a BRM 2.5" exhaust with the optional 22" resonator to keep the db's down.

 

Exhaust system looks real good.Great job

 

Thanks for the info! You know my car is a daily driver too. Also, that I and others are very happy with the SRS 2.5" exhaust, so I won't go there. Just a consideration if you want to save $$$ for those other mods. FYI; I have a ($40. shipped) Magnaflow 22" x 4"dia resonator (that BRM uses) BNIB in case the headers and SRS exhaust is too loud/obnoxious for my taste.

 

Went to a Maxima Meet yesterday alot of guys had headers and exhaust on the 3.0 4th gens and wasnt bad at all, I cant wait to put my Full Cattman on think it is going to be Just the Right amount of sound...and heard a full Cattman on a 2001 with a 3 inch Cattman not bad either...at another meet in the past...

I think hours are 9-5 Monday- Friday PST...

 

I pretty sure there will be a gain for the VQ30DE-K, since the VQ30DE shows gains in HP/Tq on Aaron's 4th gen....

 

Is that with a 2.5" or 3" exhaust? Same basic engine, DE-K has the 00VI intake.

 

This thread is regarding a 3" Cattman Catback! So isn't my reply.......

 

Installed my headers on Friday with Fastcat and Damn love the power, should be reinstalling my 3'' next Friday or Saturday want some more power...

 

+1
Yes, very definite gains with Cattman 3" on DE-K! Tons more when also paired with Cattman Y pipe + Fastcatt. Or headers instead

 

Are you running an OEM catback? You never removed your previous 3" Cattman off your totalled Maxima?

 

Yeah I removed it off the totaled one, that was all I cared about was the Fastcat and Exhaust, all others can be replaced for cheap, I just got it in storage, and didn't have time to put it on in the same weekend....

 

Cool ain't nothing like the headers combo'd with that 3" Catback!

 

Just placed my order for a Cattman 3".

Everyone who doesn't have one needs to buy one...right now.

 

Man i havent been able to reach Brian

 

He was in today. Call him!

 

I need another one soon as my old one went with the car when i sold it, That's one thing i should have taken off.

 

Get in line, help a brother out, because I needs mine too.

 

how many more to start production ?

 

I don't remember, but there are still a few spots to be filled. All I'm sayin is you don't need to put money down just yet and who knows when the next batch will be started. Get in line so boostmax and allmotormax can have theirs.

 

How much is the initial deposit anddd whats the resale on these? 80%?

 

You won't want to get rid of it but i saw one go on ebay a few weeks ago for 600 plus on an auction

 

Why didn't you remove it B4 you sold it? That's alot of money and you could've simple installed a NAPA Bosal OEM replacement catback for about $250....

 

The deposit is no more than 250....I think the amount is 237 or 238..but not 100% sure....

 

It seems now I have a 3rd gen, 4th and 5.5th gen Maxima......

 

Nice I want a 4th....

 

damn that **** sounds sexy as ****kkk

 

Yes indeed, this is what you need....

 

Cattman is the drug of choice with Maxima's. Consider it the Columbian blow of the Org.

 

Less talk more orders.

 

deff. i got this gay megan racing one that came with the car and it is quiet as hell!
