ITS ONLY 299.99 Which doesnt seem much, has anyone ordered from Customenterprises?

And also if I put it on with the stock mufflers/stock set up will I notice any gain of power or noise?









I would use the search mod on the site but for some reason it wont allow me to do so....

 

if your gonna do that, why not the whole exhaust?

 

dont order from custom enterprise i ordered a y pipe and it took over 3 weeks and i canceled it horrible shippin rate and i heard that it slows down your car .5 or a second and really u dont need it

 

so.......... wtf is the whole point of the y-pipe?

kam

 

Please do not post what you don't understand. Thank you.

Call them up if you are going to buy it. I told them I was a member of the org. and did not pay for shipping. But that was awhile ago.

You have to be a donating member to use the search feature. Its 20 dollars for life.[/B]

 

IMO if you do the Y pipe do the whole setup. If you uncork one part of the exhaust and leave the rest restricted you will not do much. There was a GP for them for $199 about 2-3 weeks ago maybe you can still get it at that price. If you are interested in the catback I purchased the setup on ebay that is under $400 shipped and have had no problems with it. Scroll through the posts on here and there are several threads on both the Y pipe and the cat back.

Well then u should just wait because it still has the most restrictive part in it. The y pipe will only remove the primary which has been said to only gain a few horses. Not worth the price IMO.

 

The FAQ on the org says that the Y-Pipe is most effective when coupled with a CAI. Thoughts? I'd be interested in doing one or both of these mods to my Max soon. If you couldn't tell, I know jack squat about this kind of thing.

 

same thing with me!

 

If the Y pipe and the cat back are changed then I assume the headers are the most restrictive part since that is all that is left and if so headers are not an option as no one makes them for the 04-06's...

 

I'll wait for the ECU tunning to be completed to merry up with my CAI, UR Pulley, Y-Pipe and Catback to see what happens before I listen to opinions... These are all proven performance parts, however the ECU controls the A/F which inhibits the true performance potential. I know for a fact a retuned ECU is coming, I will already have the parts installed to bring it all together. I know I'm currently faster than a stock SE, because I have run serveral and none could take me. ECU is the key IMO, stand by and don't believe the negative hype...

 

ill tell you rite now i had and sold the y pipe, it did nothign but slow me down with my setup. I'm starting to think that alot of members of this forum (and any other one out there for that matter) that post things like OMFG WOW THE RESULTS ARE SICK are nothing more then employees for the company which sells it. Nothing more then marketing BS, cuz i had the y pipe, and with my setup ill tell you it made my car slow as **** off the line.

 

Did you have just the Y pipe or did you have other mods to compliment it?

 

There is an OMG initially untill the smart a$$ ECU corrects it...

 

others as well.

 

Quote from the June (?) 2006 Sport Compact Mag on Tuning Myths:

Back in the Jurassic period of import performance, bolt-on exhausts, intakes, and headers could help uncork significant power gains from cars with restricted performance. Those days are gone. Auto manufacturers leave a lot less on the table, as cars are made with higher performing parts and smarter computer controls that have lessened the immediate impact of bolt-on-parts. New ECU's are so intelligently adaptive and often temperamental that bolt ons can end up causing losses in power unless the ECU is retuned.

My bolt on's are on, the ECU is being developed and tuned as we speak thanks to Tek...

 

it seems to me that you are the one who is need of understanding
the ce y pipe doesnt do **** its a waste of money

 

Why don't you read all the posts in this thread again. You put two bits of information together to get your "conclusion". When your mods are unbalanced, you lose performance. Save the $299 from the y-pipe and buy a clue.

 

thats one of the only performance related things ive read in the past 3 months that actually makes me believe there is still hope.
Thanks chern.

 

Why don't you explain it to a new guy since you know so much, instead of being a jerk. Nothing like the welcome wagon geeesh....

 

Sounds like a generic sport compact car "tuner" myth to me.

Almost every car still sees dyno gains and improved track times from basic bolt ons (with quality parts), including Maximas. Sure more gains are realized with tuning, but it's almost becoming a myth now that any mods are useless because of computers being tempermental.

And there are still a ton of newer cars out there seeing huge gains from bolt on mods.

 

I'd have to disagree with you on this. I was one of the, if not the first to get this from CE. I worked with them on the R&D of the product by donating my time and car for the project, and i'm in no way an employee of their business. The dyno sheets on their website are mine and they are not edited either. They match the original ones. This was my first mod and it was awsome. You could definatly feel the power and there were gains. Waste of money, definatly not.

 

Too bad you feel that way. The new guy came out spewing second hand information that isn't accurate.

If anyone think one mods like CAI, exhaust or a y-pipe will give you leaps and bounds performance, save your money. As Chern mentioned, our ECU's leave little to to gain, if any.

If you were to install y-pipe with exhaust w/ large diameter pipes, you will lose lowend power because the lack of back pressure, BUT you will gain a little at the topend because the exhaust flows more freely. This is especially true with automatic trans, since we don't have clutch.

Very cool RH. Between that response and Chern's posts DJFRIS should be good to go

Chern have you ever dynoed you car? I saw somebody post somewhere they were runnng dead even with stock Maximas even with the mods. Maybe it was after the dreaded ECU took control back.

 

quote "never argue with fools"

 

I'm glad you agree!

 

yea...thats why i took it off and sold it.

 

Didn'tyou get the SAFC? (did I get that right?) I thought that was supposed to make up for the ECU programming.

 

I agree, however we are talking about releasing the FULL potential of our bolt-ons and the only agreed method (the key) for modern cars is through the ECU.

I know my car feels and performs faster with my Bolt-ons. But facts, numbers, data sheets and tests are what Orgers want (at least I do). And like most tuners, I need facts to convince me, doing research helps and some Orgers have gone above and beyond to get the facts vice just throwing out misinformation...

 

Yes and it's installed but not tuned (still at baseline). I was scheduled for a dyno tuning for it when my wife fell ill (almost died of a mild stroke as a result of her high blood pressure), thus I had to shift my priorities. When complete, I do plan on posting my APEX Tuned Dyno numbers on the 6th Gen Dyno thread. Once the new ECU is available that Tek is working with, I will swap the APEX for the new ECU. Peace Bro...

 

Dude, I really don't know how to answer this because there are so many variables. To properly compare a vehicle with Bolt-ons verse Stock, both vehicles would have to be stripped even like NASCAR. Heck a dude with a set of F-1 (sticky tires) could pose an advantage over RSA because of better grip. Vehicle weight, amount of passengers in the car, full tank of gas verse 1/4 tank, a vehicle loaded with speakers, subs, amps, tire size (18’s verse 20’s) or a driver with poor reaction time. You get the point, lots of variables. Track testing is always more accurate (AND THE SAFEST) because the conditions can be made more even to properly compare the two.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she recovered/is recovering OK. We'll all send happy thoughts..

 

Are you the one who beat your friend's Accord V6 with your intake and y-pipe, then added Greddy and either lost or tie? If it's you, why didn't you sell the Greddy instead of the y-pipe? I'm curious.

 

Thanks bro, she is doing a lot better...

 

yes....and because if i get the same performance with either the greddy's or the y pipe, then id rather go with the greddys because i love how they look and sound. Once ypipe was removed I beat him again. Nissan mechanics and Magnaflow both told me to remove the y pipe.
