I convinced myself that my Maxima was a CA/NLEV emission spec until tonight. I kept looking for a ss y-pipe that was CA/NLEV but never found one. I just discovered I was a Fed-spec. I figured I live in California and always thought, hey CA = all California cars. Oh well, I guess I'm relieved, now I can order my Cattman ss y-pipe.

 

You can trade cars with me then. I have a CA model and i'm all the way in NJ. It kinda sucks seeing all these sensors and whatnot. Stillen makes a Y-pipe for a CA emissions.

 

How Can you tell if you have a fed or cali spec? What does NLEV mean?

go to the cattman website. under the y-pipe section it shows you were to look to see if you have a ca emissions vehicle....i do...

 

Look under the hood of your car. It will say if its Cali or FED. LEV=low emissions vehicle

 

I hate to sound stupid, but whats the diff between fed and nlev ??? and yes i read the last post, but I am still confused

thx

 

I never in a million years would have thought my car was a Cali-spec. IT IS. i looked at the underhood info and it is a CALI-SPEC. Ok not so bad right, but i bought the FED spec y-pipe from WSP on the deal i made with them and it fit fine, no missing holes or anything. What is the deal, my car is a 95 so maybe that has something to do with it.
