Ive got news that the 2004 maxima ypipe is almost in its production stage, and Im just sharing this information with you all here. Post up your input on the matter.

Any idea on what the HP gains are and the price? Seems like most of the exhaust mods are giving little gain for the price. Would be interested in seeing some dyno tests of the Y pipe though.

It looks like the y pipe removes the primary cat. I think this may show decent gains on our cars. Does anyone know if the y pipe from the 02 and earlier maximas remove their cat? if not then im sure this mod would yeild a lil more power than on the other year maximas. Who knows...

WIll those Hotshot or stillen headers not fit the 2004?

Glude

From what Ive read, they wont. I also looked at numerous pics of 2k2 maxima headers and y pipes when you compare em to the pic of the CM y pipe for the 04 max, the headers just dont look like they would work. Maybe with some minor modifications done to em they will.

AKM2k5

so why is it that hotshot (last time I visited their site) has it listed as 2k2+ maximas....

Glude

I dunno, If you feel like it, contact them and find out.

I was told by a rep from HotShot that the '02-'03 headers would not fit. I have emailed them asking for an explanation of what they have listed on the website, but have not received any response.

AKM2k5

I hate how they do that when they dont feel like explaining......

I've been speaking with hot shot about what there web states and what they have and apparently the headers for the 5.5 gens will not fit the 04 max

AKM2k5

I feel sorry for you guys.... We 5.5 genners had to wait a while before our headers came out too

Glude

Well if there was a demand for them Im sure hotshot would make em for us. Im hoping they will come out soon. Il keep my fingers crossed.

I was there when they test fit the first prototype on the 6th gen maxima (met with Greg), since i donated my car for the 5.5 gen maxima ypipe as well.

I didnt hear any extra noises, and Greg noted more low end to mid range power.

So they are already in the process of making these headers for our maximas? or did they fit? Im confused now.. give us more info please.

MiniRX7

Yes it fit, install went smoothly i believe, but it was the first pipe. On a rental automatic 6thgen maxima here in Canada. I am eager to see dyno results. I believe the first course of action is to ensure they fit properly.

The guys over at altimas.net had problems with their ypipes, but i was informed that the problems were corrected on the next batch. I am eagerly waiting for my ypipe to be test fitted and installed from custommaxima.

Glude

Well I just called there technical department and they told me that the header for the 02 will not fit and they wont be making one anytime soon unless the 02 header can be easily modfied to fit the 2004 maxima.

You would use the Cattman header on the 2k4 because of it's EGR fitting.

Glude

iTrader: (5)

Explain more on this SR20DEN. Your saying the cattman headers fit the 04s but the hotshots dont?

DougJones

This man know his stuff, fellas.

Glude

iTrader: (5)

I know, thats why I want him to explain more. oh yeah, is your intake manifold mod going to work for the 04 maximas SR?

SR20DEN

iTrader: (7)

I don't know for a fact that the headers fit for clearance. But I do know that the A34 has EGR and the Cattman has that EGR connection. Even if there is some clearance issues those headers can probably be made to fit. I just need a guinea pig to bring a A34 to me to look over.

DougJones

I'm still willing to be that guinea pig. I'll shoot you a PM.

I hope this goes through! SR20 is your intake manifold mod going to fit 2004 maximas?

gtr_rider

iTrader: (50)

SR20, shoot me more information about this when you are almost ready to start production.

Glude

iTrader: (5)

Any word on whats happening with this? I wanna know if those cattman headers will fit my 6th gen!

DougJones

I'm waiting for SR20DEN to get back with me so that we can work out the details. I haven't seen him on the boards lately, so something must be up.

Glude

iTrader: (5)

Have you guys talked much about it? What are the plans if you guys get together to do this??

DougJones

We've spoken back and forth via PM (prior to this post). The plan is to test fit a set on my car. He was going to look into seeing whether or not Cattman would work some kind of deal due to me being the 6th gen test mule. Currently, that's where we stand.

We're only a little over an hour away from each other. Hopefully, we can get this worked out pretty soon.

impatiently waiting......
