2k2 Y-Pipe/Header: Need show of interest
Hey folks,
I want to approach Hotshot performance to see if they can do something like this..
http://lion.esosoft.net/hotshot.com/headers/FM3050.htm
for us maxima guys. These are the guys who did the GA16 Turbo Kit for the sentra. They are very big in the SE-R and 240sx community, and do very high quality work. Before I contact them about this, however, I'd like to gauge demand in the community for something like this. I'm not sure if a y-pipe header combo would be applicable for all 4th/5th gen years, but I'm sure you guys wouldn't object to an option with proven gains and a reputable company. Especially if us 2k2 guys can get a y-pipe out of it! Please post if you're interested or you have comments. Thanks

dammit! I want to give this a chance, if for nothing else than to have more options on the market. Everyone's been wanting something like this for months and I can't believe this is the response we get

I would be in....this is a lovely piece of
work. Some must haves:
1. Tubing of at least 14 ga...no tinny, cheap 16 ga for moi
2. GOOD plating -or ceramic coating...I dont wanna worry about rusting in two years because I intend to keep my car for awhile, G35 be damned.
3. Must fit right the first time!!!!
Assuming, of course they will work for a 2k1 car...

If the quality and price is right I want one.
Our 2K2's need more than just a Y pipe however. We need a full 2 1/2" exhaust system all the way back to the muffler. I have a factory muffler that I have modified and ready for piping all the way to it. I want performance but it's got to be quite. With my modified factory muffler I believe I'll have both.

I already emailed HotShot about 2 weeks ago and they replied that they didn't have anything planned at the moment. That is a great looking header but as of now I would actually prefer a header from OBX.

Hey Dennis, let me know before you approach them. My freind worked there for many years, he is a big saturn lover, and they are a saturn loving company. It is very small, The owner and his wife pretty much run it, and he knows them very well, from working with them soo long, and being the driver of the saturn race car. Let me know!

i'm not gonna rush a y-pipe for myself now because i ordered a test pipe and on a 2k2 you have to have either a main cat or a stock y-pipe or you will throw a CEL. i'll see how the test pipe feels.

Edit: I just realized in my half-awake stupidity that you were trying to show interest in headers.
