We've got 3 y-pipes left in stock for the 02/03 Maxima and 02-04 I35, and just one 3" Catback for the 00-03 Maxima and 00-04 I30/I35.

There's no upper limit to the number of header/y-pipe systems for the 95-03 Maxima and 95-04 I30/I35 that we can include in the current batch, but orders must be received by 5pm MST/PDT on Wednesday (07 September).

Brian, maybe you should consider approaching Greg Childs. He is the CEO of the large nissan forum nicoclub. He also owns a performance shop that manufactures exhaust parts for some Nissans, It's BRM exhausts I believe. I think he is also located in Arizona.

Get 'em while it's still possible. I put the whole headers, ypipe, fastcat deal on the card and putting other planned mods on the back burner for now. I did the same thing when I saw that Progress was discontinuing production of RSB for 5Gen Maximas. I searched for hours online, found just 1 in stock, and bought it (with shipping) for less than Stillen's asking price. Sometimes you snooze you lose. I understand it's a costly venture, but I've known my OEM Y pipe is rotting away and will give out soon. The Cattman headers etc. are better quality than most other aftermarket alternatives. For roughly the same price as the Genuine Nissan OEM replacement parts, and they won't help performance.

Plenty of youtube videos, and definitely power to be made, check the Dyno section and look for Nmex ones he did one with headers and intake or GAB or something of that sort...

I hope Brian comes back in here to let us know the fate of Cattman. Met Brian at Maxus 2010 and own some of his products. Quality products indeed. Just when I was thinking of upgrading to the 3.0 inch.

Call him. As I know you can get in on the order for the headers and Y-pipe as the production is just finishing up.

Brian,

The best of luck to you and the future of Cattman Performance. You were a MAJOR integral part of my passion, enthusiasm and determination toward my 5.5 gen and the Maxima scene. You introduced me to one of the best master technicians for Maximas in Arizona, Andrew Stewart. You advised me on numerous upgrade options and were humble 100% of the way through. Over the years, I have turned my 2002 "grandma's 4-door" into a mid-13 second head turner, and I have you to thank.

Thank you for the knowledge, the products, the advice and the experience. Save this last purchase of a test-pipe, I am also coming to a close with my Maxima upgrading process, both for practical and financial reasons. I'm glad I was able to experience the Cattman himself - knowing I own some of the best products from one of the most knowledgeable and courteous businessmen around.

HERE'S TO YOU, BRIAN!

I'm with you Rochester! Brian has recently taken the time, despite his busy schedule, to return my calls re: my order, and E-Mail me several times. Not only for order status, but to answer my questions. With expert recommendations to insure a professional Headers/Y-Pipe installation. And resolve the problematic Secondary O2 Sensor SES codes.

The Quality of The Man is far Greater than the Quality of His Products!

Thanks again Brian.

No serious inquiries to date - we've heard from a couple people who did not have a realistic perspective on getting into this business. The price I'm asking is exeedingly reasonable, but they expected to buy the company at prices that were less than a month's revenues.

But let me point out that we will continue doing what we have been doing until the company is sold, or when I am traveling and/or too busy with other work to do it anymore. We're still taking orders and will keep making exhaust parts until that time comes. Remember, we won't start anything we don't finish, so customers can order with confidence.

We're seeing some interest in catbacks right now - 3" for 5th gens and 2.5" for 4th gens - but need more orders to begin production on the next batches.
