I am going to put most of my tax return towards bills but I have enough left over for some Cattman headers & y-pipe. My pre-cats are looking worn (noticed this when I pulled the engine to replace my timing chains) so I want to upgrade to headers. My question is will I see an increase in power with just headers and no other breathing mods? I will probably get a fastcat and 3" exhaust sometime later on but for now just headers and MAYBE a custom SRI

 

Yes, you definitely will.

When I had my setup (headers/testpipe/2.5" exhaust), even when I put my stock catback back on, I still felt noticeable gains over my friend's stock Maxima.

You'll see good low-end gains with a stock catback and headers.

 

Wow, what a great first bolt on!! Im looking for some. Theyre my final bolt on . Keep us posted!

 

making a SRI or buy one off the .org for cheap. Its a tube with a cone lol

Headers are one of the best bolt on mods

 

FTR, headers were my first BO, and yes, you will feel it. I never did dyno w/o headers, but on an internet dyno (DJ), I dyno'd 233 in my auto w/ a JWT POP charger + Headers.

 

Just put in my order to Brian Catts for the headers/y-pipe. He says he needs 1-3 more orders before he can start production (meaning he still has to check back with earlier orders to see if they are still good so he might need up to 3 more orders) So if you are thinking about getting Cattman headers now is the best time because you won't have to wait very long being the last few orders.

 

How much does it come out to? (GB discount)

 

Regular $859.99 with discount $817

 

why did you changed the timing chains? they usually last the life of the motor. enjoy the headers, you will notice a big difference..

 

Well I had "the rattle" at startup which got louder over time and I didn't like it. I have a friend/roommate that used to be e a diesel mechanic but services assembly line equipment now. He only works 3-4 days a week so he wanted something to do on his days off so I asked if he wanted to pull my engine (we have a big shop out back). He pulled the engine, pulled the timing cover, we looked everything over and found I had a bad tensioner. I didn't NEED to change the chains but it's not that big of cost considering I already had the engine pulled. I replaced the tensioners, guides, chains & water pump, along with the o-rings & seals. It hasn't rattled since and that was back in October

 

OP, you're a wise man. Headers are the best first mod you could do.

 

Great buy cant wait to get mine but in Cali so waiting for a moment till my smog comes up and got a bad pre cat right now so trying to find one..cause Nissan is more than the Headers of Cattman like WTF...

 

Too rich for my blood.

 

set aside a whole day for the install if youre a beginner

 

...or if your bolts are rusted solid. Took me 2 days because of that.
