So true....
I've ordered from Brian plenty of times and was always satisfied with the quality.

Brian...any specials for christmas on the 02-03 header/y? i need to give the wife some more ideas for gifts!

That would be nice, but we'll barely begin shipping the new production by Xmas, much less putting them on special. Actually the special is the current $799 introductory price, it will go up to $849 once we've sold the first 50 units (we're holding about 40 backorders now).

Howzabout placing the order for a late Xmas present - we should be able to fill it before the end of January, and no money changes hands until your part is ready.

Wow the polls says it all!

Does it ever, I believe I'll save that as a marketing graphic.

Cattman Y-pipes DO NOT leak! Your installation is the problem.

I just received my (Cattman) Y-Pipe the other week from Brian and it is a thing of beauty. While I was doing research on my y-pipe purchase I called Cattman and spoke with Brian directly and made my decision to purchase the Cattman Y-pipe and placed my order with him on the same call.

Brian also answered all my questions and explained the "one" stud that needed to be trimmed up to fit correctly because on the angle the tube is bent for ground clearance and performance reasons.

When I received my box from Cattman (Quickly) AZ - PA, everything I needed was included, install kit instructions w/ gaskets and advice on my O2 sim. The job was not hard at all (with Air Tools and a lift).

Also enclosed was the tech note doc on exactly where the stud needed to be trimmed with a Dremel. Brian always answers the phone and is very pleasant to speak with and very knowledgeable about his products and the Maxima itself.
*Also he owns one*

Thanks for the words of support, I must have missed any comment about leaking - and of course, our y-pipes do not leak. I'll just mention that the dremel adjustment to a stud is specific to the design of the 02/03 Maxima, this is not necessary with any of out other y-pipe applications.

i will be parting my 02 y for HS headers. although, and thanks brian i did get the BEAUTIFUL cattman C/B this week and its going on saturday

spoken like a true gentleman(read salesman) So it's a deal since I heard you say you'd come out to help with the install? lol? Is it really 8hrs of labor to do the header and Y on the 02-03? Remember, I live in Salt central 5mos out of the year...ever seen white blacktop? visit NY in Nov-March. we'll have to see...it is the only good hp mod I have left that is just a bolt on-well, within reason! I will give you a call in the next couple days Brian. Thank you. You've always been a great help.

You have no idea how useless it would be to have me on hand for an installation. And no need to learn with the mechanic who works on my car, the guy's incredible. The key to a speedy, efficient header install is knowing the car really well and being a very good wrench.

That's why I suggest finding a Nissan Master Tech that knows something about performance rather than a tech in a performance shop that knows a little about Nissans. I've seen the former install install headers perfectly in three hours for $100 (total), without hurrying (if there's an O2 simulator that needs to be installed, add 45-60 minutes), and I've seen the latter take two days @ $80/hour, do a **** poor job, whine like they've been to the gates of hell, and try to cover for their incompetance by claiming a perfect part won't fit.

Thanks again Brian for the great Y-pipe and advice on my intake.
