What are my options for headers?
Does anyone know what headers fit the 7th gen BESIDES OBX cuz they don't exist any where anymore. Do any 350z, Altima, or Infinity Q series fit? I just want a pair of long tube headers and it seems like a wild goose chase with no geese in sight. Someone please help.

The Maxima is FWD, with the engine and transmission mounted transverse, or as I call it East-West. The 370z and Infinity Q series are RWD. Those engines and transmissions are mounted North-South. Those exhaust manifolds are totally different and will not fit your car.
You are out of luck trying to find headers.

So my only option would basiclly be performance manifolds if available? One thing I should have considered buying a 9yr old car, extremely limited upgrade options still available on the market. Thanks for the update, I figured those models wouldn't work being RWD but people have crafted some ingenious inventions for their cars lol.

It's not the age of the car, it's the fact that you bought a FWD sedan with a CVT transmission. The CVT killed the aftermarket support for the Maxima, and car enthusiasts found new rides with aftermarket support.
This place used to be extremely active back in the day. You posted a thread in the fourth or 5th gen forums, and it would be off the first page within 30 minutes, that's how busy and active this forum was.

Thanks for the info. I know, the cvt isn't the coolest idea Nissan had for the Max and it still causes issues. Mine will randomly take 5-12 secs to engage after it's in Drive. Like this morning, I started it, put it in drive, took my foot off the brake, the rpms dropped like it was in drive but yet I waited 9 seconds for it to engage and start rolling on its own with no brakes. Thanks again. Maybe I'll build my 02 some more lol.
