I have these same headers on my VQ35 swapped 92 Maxima. The Ypipe couldn't be used since it runs exactly where the VQ crossmember runs. I am running a 4th gen crossmember in my swap, which runs right down the middle of the car. The 3rd gen has exhaust in the middle and the crossmember is to the side of that. But with my swap, I welded in some custom brackets in the exhaust tunnel and radiator support and now I can bolt a VQ crossmember to that. I had a custom Ypipe made that bolts right to these headers.

So overall, I am VERY happy with the ebay headers. The quality is surprisingly good for the money spent.

Here are some pics of my custom Ypipe with these headers:







The RH header near firewall had to be shortened by 2 inches in order to make this Ypipe. It was a tad too long.

Thank you. Yes, it's as close to equal length as I could get. In fact, that was the only option due to the cramped space. The only other option would be to make a VERY sharp turn for the RH bank and I didn't want that.

Instead of trying to fab it up myself, I thought it was best left in the hands of Ron at RJ's Custom Piping in Raleigh, NC. He's the only mandrel bender in the entire state and does a lot of performance oriented piping from turbos, intakes, to exhausts.

I'm very happy with the end result.

Agreed, that y pipe does look very nice! If I had seen this I would of had mine made similar to yours, avoiding the sharp bend at the rear bank.

Possibly, I purchased 180* bends that were used in my y pipe locally, I don't know if they bent them in house or not.

Thanks guys. I posted these pictures originally in my build thread back in early 2009. I know it's a HUGE thread, but it's full of good information and plenty of pictures.
