Yeah I still would like to get Cattman exhaust one day, but the price is a great deterrant at this point. I just looked through ebay,
2x 14862 Mufflers, $167.00 Each
1x 10435 MIDpipe, $67.00
3h @ local shop with mandrel bender. $150
$551 total installed. Hard to justify $700-800 just for some mufflers magnaflow mufflers and some piping.

well nice pick up , but i agree w/ you on worth the money...
I want to buy the cattman header system when it comes out because ill be getting a decent discount on it, but i at the same time i dont want to pay 400 or so for install...
On the other side, his Y-pipe is VERY easy to install and ive heard around 4-6 hp... and half the price or so of his upcoming header setup *Dont hold me to that*...
Ill prob just buy it and put it in the garage and hope for one of those "Gifts from god" things where someone tells you they know someon who will do it for 200...

Only thing is if you do the Y pipe and or the headers, your engine will be running lean. That is bad for the engine to the point of possibly ruining it!
You will have 2 options: 1. Reprogramming your ECU (Technosquare) or
2. AFC S-SAFC programming computer.
I was contemplating this, however I decided that the Throttle body spacer is a wiser and less expensive investment. under $200 to purchase & install and way safer plus up to 10HP in gains.
Just my 2 Cents.

Man, I didnt realize how much of a pain in the **** it would be to find a cheap place to install them. FFFFAQ.
No one wants to touch them for less then 8 hours.
This great buy is turning to a great regret. Y me.

Sell 'em to Glude

The OP has nearly made it clear that that option is out of the question.
Though a lift is not mandatory, it will make it easier. Jack stands and lotsa tools/patience, perhaps a beer or 2. It will be worth it in the end.

Yes I bought thease from a guy that sold his maxima here in Toronto.
Any word on the final verdict, i.e, you going to attempt the isntall yourself?

Nissan wants me to do 3 more fuel fill ups so they can complete the oil consumption report. Once the engine is in and I get no CEL, i will be "attempting" the swap with my unlce (retired Mercedes Benz Mechanic).
If that fails, thease are getting e-bayed till I can get some funds in the future.
