First pics of headers for 6th Gen
Ok, doubters, I saw them with my own eyes. Sexima has custom headers for his 6th gen maxima. He used an Alti header, I believe and modified it. Apparently there is a lot of work getting the rear header to fit. But they look great from up top. Check out these pics:

I doubt there is much difference in power. It should change the sound more than anything. The only way that it will make a noticeable difference is that if there is a lot more air moving through the system than the stock system (ie: SC or Turbo). Typically the factory does a pretty good job matching input to output and by opening up only the exhaust it won't make much of a difference since the intake wasn't opened up as well. Short story is if all you are going to do is exhaust mods, don't expect a lot more power, just cool sound. If you plan on an intake mod, you need to do exhaust as well.
I'm sure someone will now post telling me I'm wrong.

my plan is to team them up with a SC when it comes out and a full cattback, but I'm asking just in case the headers from cattman come out first. I kinda wanted to know if they make power just from a stock motor..

Anyways you leave your car stock and if im ever in your part of Tx il show you exactly how big of a difference it makes. Later
Yes I do, but I don't consider a <10% increase something that is noticeable. If you can feel that they you must have a superpower. That is up to 20 hp, depending on if they have an intake mod most likely and a K&N.
Flame away superman.

OK, I also looked up some charts from the Dyno tests. The HP runs lower than stock until almost 5000 RPM. You won't feel it. Although results will vary on those as well. I'm going to stick with it will feel different with the butt dyno.
Here is a quote, gee whiz, and intake mod too.

The difference in horsepower was very noticable! The estimated gains from the Hot Shot Performance Header are 21 horsepower. But we have also installed the Greddy EVO exhaust and cold air intake by Injen as well so it's time to hit the dyno for a few runs. Dyno's to be posted soon.

Looks like your pulling that from a performance mag. Yes you will feel a difference. 20 hp is a big difference for our cars, an intake doesnt do much for these motors. Dont believe everything a magazine tells you, they are just trying to sell a product, quality or not.

A true addition that would make a difference would be a SC or turbo, or even cams. Why don't you find something to back it up. Where did you get your info on 20+ HP gains, and don't say the manufacturer or someone with a non-existent dyno chart.
Jokes, I can see headers giving some more boost especially in this car, it already has two precats in there to limit exhaust output, so catless headers (BAD ENVIRONMENT BASTARDS) will improve the HP situation some, but probably no 20Hp. Maybe 7-11hp max. Anyone gonna dyno to find out. Thanks,

Chances are that headers won't be someone's only mod. Openning up intake and exhaust with quality parts, especially compare to our factory exhaust manifolds and Y-pipe, will make a noticeable difference. Couple that with an aftermarket A/F management system should produce a nice gain (maybe 10-15%). However, those mods would change the characteristic of our cars, apart from the sound.

So physics play a role in these headers, please explain, because last i thought you are dealing with air flow. And that breaks into lamanar and turbilent flow. With a less restrictive header setup you have more lamanar flow(smooth flowing) which will make you see gains do to less restriction.

Quick question,
If there is a debate as to intakes not making hp because of the computer doing whatever is does, why would headers make any power?
Also has anyone figured out what the computer does? Remember we have a drive by wire system which gave me an idea.
