I drive a 04 maxima and i had a 4" catback exhaust installed coming all the way to the pipe

the car sounded nice as it was

today i installed a Racingline Y pipe ... and all i can say is she sounds even better

the first run i took i could feel the difference in power .... and i heard it breathing



just look at it

you can tell the weight difference ....

Amazing product ...5*

easy installation too !

my car is rawring ... you guys make some headers i'll be first to get em ! ... only thing left for me to put on !

 

Does that new Y pipe have a crushed section after the flex and is that a bent area after that crushed looking section??

 

i noticed that then and there

it was a little dent i think it came from all the crap i had in my trunk

but didn't make any difference the pipping was still good

i had the y pipe sitting in my trunk for a good 2 weeks waiting to get put on

 

Damn you said you are running a 4in catback!!

 

4 inch cat back ? and why did you go with a 4inch ?

 

for the Power of course. Apparently Bigger is Better in this thread and he is the first person on Earth with a maxima sporting 4" EXHAUST.

 

i wish custom maxima starts a GD for 4 inch catbacks.. their 3" was such a success

 

maybe the muffler tips are 4 inches (NO HOMO) not the entire catback

 

The Y-pipe is the best performance bang for your buck IMHO

 

quick question *noob question **

i was thinking about buying a Y pipe for my 2007 maxima. right now i have maganaflow exhaust with no resonator running a 2 n half inch pipe i still have cat on it with stock oem b pipe ... now when i put this (http://racinglineperformance.com/sho...&idcategory=24 ) y pipe in do i leave my oem cat in or does it come out.. and if it comes out do i get a check engine light? cause i was reading the think n it said "Although this pipe deletes 1 of the 3 stock catalytic converters, no SES/CEL lights are triggered. The catalytic converter being removed is not metered and the cars ECU does not realize it is missing." but if u keep reading it also says " **Note** Because the is pipe deletes a catalytic converter, it is thus branded FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY." plz if anyone can help me out be great help.. also which one is the best y pipe n where will it be cheapest.. thanks

 

winner winner chicken dinner ...

Common sense fellas !


i'd just pm Taz at racingline performance , he'd give you the right answer !

^^^^ thnaks a lot yea this helped

now my last question lol


i have talked to few people about getting y pipe n stuff.. i know it gets rid of one cat.. n no check engine light comes on but... someone said i wont pass NEW YORK STATE inspection.... they said when they plug it up... the computer is going to fail it.. cause its going throw of emissions requirement

 

im really clueless on that one

pretty sure you can ask others in ny

i remember quite a few modded maxima up there

maybe someone with a y pipe ?

 

yea thats only thing.. but according to other ppl i know here in ny they said i cannot even pass as it is now because i have full cat back exhaust.. so its already not meeting NY emissions requirements.. but i dont need inspection till like 5/2011 so i have to figure out by then

 

Dont listen to what "they" are telling you, The third cat is not monitored, which means there is no sensor and if there is no sensor then nothing tells the ecu something is missing, Unless you get a visual inspection or if they put the pipe on the back of your car to analyze the exhaust fumes you should be good. When you go in for a inspection they connect the car via obd port and look around and thats it. As long as you have no SES light you should be ok.

 

^^^ thanks man that's what i was thinking also but "they" keep saying that .. computer is going to off n **** so i wasn't sure n thought i better ask you guys here
