Y-pipe design is pretty proven. In this case a dyno from another company, is pretty much on par for everyone else's also.

They are a small company but produce a good product. I've installed one on a 4-gen and it fit perfectly.(it was an used unit also)

WarpSpeed also produces a non-mandrel bent version for the low-budget modification as well as both aluminized steel for middle-road budget and the stainless steel at the higher end. Good option if they have a good reputation I suppose.

Wow, those fools said it was coming out for 5th gen in November when I emailed them. The site says "in production now." Just buy a Cattman, unless you want to wait until like May.

WSP is a small co but VERy well respected in the Maxima community. They have done nothing but help us afford exhaust mods.

The gains are pretty much the same as other competition's y-pipe. The only difference might be +/- 1 hp differential.

Just to clarify a few points:

We have had demo gen 5 Y pipes on a couple of cars since before September. We spend more time working on product design than on our website so you will hear it here first when they are available.

We don't feel there is a real need to dyno the Gen 5 because it is basically the same as our Gen 4 Y pipe just a different length front pipe and flange, ours already outperform the "others" in dyno tests. We mainly dyno our own Maxima's (a 1993SE and a 1996SE), since I am thinking seriously about that 350Z the 1996SE we have will stay in the company for test installs.

We already have a Y pipe which fits the 1999 and 2000 FED emissions Maxima's. We have flanges being made now and expect them in 2 weeks or less for the 1999.5, 2000 CA emissions and the 2001, we also have arranged for a 2002 to come in for a fitting.

We plan to sell them for the same price as our gen 3 and gen 4. I guess we could neck them down like the "others" but we design them for maximum flow. If you think you need to pay more money for a 304 stainless TIG welded Y pipe for the Gen 5 let me know (that would be foolish), I have no problem raising our prices to match our competition. Tell you what, if you pay more we'll donate it to Maxima.org or just donate it yourself.

Make sure you send your message to the correct email address on ouir website. I don't see any messages I have missed in the last 2 weeks but we do get around 100 per day so I miss one once in a while.

We have been doing the stage 1 subframe connectors on the Gen 5's with some dramatic results, we should be finishing the x-bracing this week.

O.K., I am pulling out my dunce cap..."neck them down" is that a technical term or just a reference to "price"? Not having really stuck my head in the area yet, ( ) I am not sure if there might be size/quality issues that you are refering to.

How will the 304 handle a Cincinnati winter? My only issue that has been holding me back from anybody's 'Y' is rust. Don't want to replace this pipe every 3-4 years? 304 is SS right? So in "theory" it should not be a problem correct? Anyway I can add additional protection against rust?

Can't wait to see/hear more about X-bracing...Tightening up the ol' Max is the first on my list. Plus the wifey can't see those parts!

Do you have a secret "mod fund" that your wife doesn't know about?

The same checking account that pays for those Gold Club visits...or what some like to call, at least publicly, the wife's "birthday gift account."

Save the weekly lunch money and eat the crackers by the coffee pot at work! Also tend to make PB&J and eat at my desk reading .org... I am such a loser!
