Anyone seen, used or heard of these they are dirt cheap. Was wondering if they would work any opinions?

Same as eBay and they're decent.

 

I am no pro but from what I hear(read) those are shortys. Basically just gutting your cats and getting y pipe would be the same. All the other ones give better results due to the long tube design. Get a warpspeed Y pipe and gut your cats. Thats on my "todo" list. Unless I fall over some long tube headers somewhere

 

yea but for 209$ shipped I cant even buy a y pipe for that plus my heat sheilds rattle and its stainless will look good under the hood.

I havent even looked at ebay yet ill have to do that quick. Would you suggest a test pipe with this as well?

 

Test pipe with a bigger diameter catback (2.5" or 3")

 

Already got catback and I found an ebay test pipe for 33$ cheap cheap

 

I personally wouldn't waste my time installing shorty headers. Going through all that trouble for minimal gains just doesn't seem like a good use of time/effort/money. If you're just looking to replace some busted stockers and don't really care about the power gains, then those are a cheap alternative I guess, but you could always find some used stock headers for even less on the Classifieds forums.

And there's always the gutting factor.

 

so with these cheap ones im not gunna gain that much? i just dont want cats and i want a new y pipe and all that jazz this seams to be alright with me i would like better power but i cant justify 500 dollars that ppl are selling them for

 

Gut your cats and get one of these.

From what I have read and heard from credible sources is that gutting your cats will net some gain but not nearly as much as you would think. The huge open chamber you now create inside the cat will cause a lot of turbulence with the exhaust gases. At least with the shorties the turbulence will not exists and one would think there would be minimal metal flaws. (I know the stock headers have casting marks everywhere.) It all depends on what you want to spend. Personally, I agree with everyone else. If you are going to be in there replacing the headers then just get full headers w/ y-pipe. The OBX's for the 3.5 (equal length y-pipe) will be available again in early November and I sourced them for about 330 shipped.

 

perfect then ill have to wait for them where did you find them? In the meantime im just gunna throw a test pipe in and intake untill they come out I was hoping to get obx anyway

 

Agreed just wait on OBXs, and even though Stainless they will change color in due time, unless you get them Coated.....

 

Yea my friend can jet hot coat them for 50$ good deal? and I still need to know where to get these OBX headers at

 

Yep I'll be waiting for those also

fishtale6spd:
The headers for the 5th gen on custommaxima.com they don't have. I tried to ask about it a while ago and they didn't have them at all. The fitment doesn't go on our cars. I had to order something else cause they didn't have them. Best thing to do is wait for OBX.

 

Good investment...I got my entire exhaust jethot coated...from the headers to the muffler.....

Found em but there 599$ not 330

 

Lucky ****** that is Cheap.....

 

Ehh friend works there also gunna get my rims powder coated also but gotta get some extras first

 

aha no wonder i coulnt find any on ebay. so are the obx header y pipe set up a good one? are they a good brand?

 

Yea cattaman is the best and obx and hotshot are right behind them

 

hotshot? where can i find them online? are they still in bussiness

 

U can get those same ones cheaper when they come out in November.....unless u can't wait til then lol

 

Sorry to Highjack but are Novembers OBX headers gonna be a better design or something? Like version 3.5?

You wont make as much as header's im sure but gutting them makes a definite power increase..especially with a test pipe and a 3' catback..My car woke right up after gutting the pre cats, more so in the higher rpm's though

 

I called obx directly. They don't have the 02-03 maxima headers. They are currently in production overseas and are due to be done at the end of this month but they will be arriving via a container ship so god only knows how long that will take.

 

Sweet so there only gunna be 330$ once they get here if so group deal?

 

Set it up. I'm down.

 

Not a group deal. I called many distributors and they were all out of stock and had no info on when more will come in. that is why I contacted obx directly to get the real story and eta. Let me find the site that had them the cheapest. Worst case is that ebay will have them again for about 350 shipped.

 

Get em on eBay, IMO, I hate to say it but the success rate for GDs around here is pretty low historically.

 

 

Yea I havent seen any luck either but the ebay ones your saying for obx or the shortys?

 

Hey 02whitemaximase have you heard anything from obx yet about the headers?

It's the beginning of November and I'm itching for some more power

 

Yea im waiting on em too or im just gunna gut my cats

 

So anybody heard anything on the headers yet?

 

Yea I haven't either wish someone could find out

 

Looks like gutting the pre-cats is the route ill go if we don't hear anything back.
