What's the best alternative to Cattman headers for 04 Auto 5spd

I wish I would have bought Cattman headers before, didnt know he was going to go out of biz!

I know those are the best, but are super hard to find now, even used! So I'm looking for the best alternative, any feedback is welcome!

Also.. Mods are... NWP block plate, NWP spacers, NWP 75mm big bore throttle body, Injen CAI.

Looking to do headers with an electronic cutout, and keeping the oem catback, for sleeper status / no pull over issues.

Thanks fellas!

You might wanna consider changing up the Injen CAI setup, too.
The Injen filter sits directly behind the radiator, where it sucks in the hot air. Shortening it by just using one of the pipes (or doing a battery relocation and piping the filter to sit there) will yield better results.

Actually, this is incorrect. True for the 5th gen, but not true for the A34. In fact the Injen on the A34 is a far better design than the 5th (A33). Don't assume



OP, check into Altima headers, many many many brands out there that are about equal to Cattman and since it's a slightly more popular platform to mod, your choices are far more vast than ours and since the chassis is darn near identical, they will fit.

oem, or get another car ?

Why spend 2000$ tuning a car to gain 15 hp when the car is worth 2000$? Is there something I am not getting ?
