what are our options for y-pipes on our max? i know cattman has one for ~350. did taz ever come out with his? and i think the CE ones for 199$ are gone?

 

cattman Ypipe ... Taz has not made one to my knowing...

i have a cattman and i love it ... except the for hiss.. but that is gone now on the new models

Cattman FTW

 

Racingline is still coming out with one, it's just been delay several times to make sure some other things got done, (strut bars, front endlinks, moving ) but they are in the works, the last sample that was used for dyno testing had one minor flaw I didn't like, was still completely functinal but still not 100% to me, so a new sample is being done, should actually be done within the week. Test fitting then production, release should be in feb some time I would hope.

 

thanks for the update.

hey, taz; i just recieved my front endlinks and they look badass! do you have a pic of how they are installed? now how to do it but what bushing goes on what side and that good stuff? thanks again

 

there should have been pics included in the box, folded with the receipt.

 

cattmans y pipe...

 

Man that's pretty.

 

for sure .... and it put down around 10-12 WHP on a dyno ... not bad huh

 

Hey do you have a problem with the smell coming from the exhaust?? Since you have no catt???

just wondering cause Im installing mine.

 

I'LL TAKE IT!

 

hmmmm i think im going to get this from cattman. that y pipe looks SICK mine looks ****ty since i have ebay headers =( hey at least i still put down good numbers!

 

i have the cattman y pipe, and there is no smell coming from the exhaust.

 

no smell at all... i was the first 6th gen to get it from brian... so i have one of the pipes that makes a BOV type of SWOOSHING sound at 3000krpms.... actually soudns kinda sweet... but im going to get it fixed under warranty for free from him... he honors his work!!! great guy...

Good gains for the $$$$$

 

im still waiting to hear from brian about the header development...

i told him a few times i would let them use my car again as the test car, but no word from him since...

im sure he is very busy working on great maxima parts for us LOL...

do u have pics of the headers you bought... not sure if the cattman ypipe will hook up w/ that application or not...

 

o ****... good point fastmax. i had a thread on here before it got hacked. if you can, plz search for the original thread? thx.

 

But they are still equal length since they’re the HS KO’s.

 

Koo good to know! I have another question for ya. Do you have any lights come up on your dash like a "check Engine" since theres no catt??

Just wondering.

Thanks

 

I don't think it's an issue because most of the readings are taken above that point in the exhaust. I'm sure someone else that knows what they're talking about can verify this.

 

I think the o2 sensor is still down stream and functioning. Its just that its still in parameters and doesnt set off a light. Now if there was a visual inspection for the state in would fail.

 

check engine light does not come on.

 

no lights nothing...

just pure power !! LOL

 

I finally got around to installing my Cattman Y-pipe. I drive it around for a couple of hours and threw an SES light. But after talking to Brian, I'm about 90% sure that its a bad sensor. I'm the first to have this happen after a Cattman Y-pipe install. Can't wait to get this thing to the track.

 

If you get a SES light, get the code and see what the cause was, best way to trace the problem.

 

still new to the maxima and learning quick, how easy is the install of a y pipe? Can it be done with jack stands from underneath the car? any PDF files with installation instructions. does the y pipe come with the bung predrilled for the sensor?

 

Yes. If you're nimble you can just jack up one side and do it. Use jack stands for safety though. Its very easy to install. Hardest part is getting the 8 old rusty bolts off, not an issue with power/air tools though.

Come with O2 sensor port as well. I couldn't get my old O2 sensor off so I had to buy a new one for $100 or so. Be aware that could be the case.

 

ouch $100 for a new sensor....I'll make sure i get the sensor off..lol

 

i jacked up my car from the center point [cross member] and put jack stands on the side. took about 30min to 1hr. i used a lot of wd-40 to help the bolts come off. install was like 10 min. i have the ce pipe from taz but same concept

 

Definitely. I was trying to see if anyone else had the same issue. The Cattman himself hadn't heard of any problems. Well. I forgot to plug the sensor back in...so that's awesome. I'll hit the track this week to get some results.
