Got my Y-Pipe went to a custom shop...They wouldnt touch it.
Went to local shop paid cash.
Wow what a difference it actually pins you back into the seat. Only hardship was a custom support braket.
Now I need the rest of the system anyone have the HKS on a 5th generation. is aluminized steel going to fail?
Thanks,

I'm REALLY wanting to get one ofthese puppies for my 4th gen...I am just a little bit too poor right now. They should last a decently long time, I would htink, as they are coated.

Do you have any other exhaust mods?

 

Not yet. I have the k&n air filter it picks up 4 hp for $50.00 a good deal....

 

yup I had one, but I just got the big cattman POPcharger. It's loud, but nifty. I'm giving the k&n to my mom's 96 max

 

more like .4hp!!!

 

The panel filter adds no horsepower, it's primary benefit is reusability. I had the K&N panel, didn't really make a difference. I now have a JWT POP cone filter. Now, this *may* make 4hp, but it's just a *maybe*.

 

I have a B-pipe and y-pipe to install on my 97 Max. I got two bolts off with no problem. The other two on the b-pipe are frozen, rusted, and on too damn tight. I soaked it with Liquid Wrench over night, hammered the bolts, and used a heat gun. I went at it this morning and the bolt started bending instead of turning. I started sawing away at it, but it was taking too long. I had an estimate at a local indepent Nissan shop for $90 for the install of the y-pipe and b-pipe. I'm gonna take it them as soon as I get my car smog checked. I figured if I saw off the two bolts for the b-pipe, I'm still gonna be screwed trying to get the y-pipe bolts off.

 

turbo magazine dyno test showed 4 hp

Turbo magazine dino test showed 4 hp
look it up before you speak
: >

 

but if i recall it also how a exhaust on it, not sure tho.

 

Turbo did a great series on the 2000 maxima SE.
The test was done on the air filter before they did anything else. It should a 4 hp increase over stock air filter and 4.4 hp increase with no air filter. Turbo then did add a HKS muffler and exhaust pipe that gave a 5.2 hp increase on the dyno.
Turbo tried nitrous, a Turbo, and a Supercharger.

turbo is at:

believe everything Turbo mag let alone any other mag states......so when a muffler alone in Turbo mag claims 9-10hp thats true as well??? typical newbie attitude and mentality.......

 

Not to take the side of a "newbie" (god forbid)...
But why would Turbo mag LIE about the results they got from installing a K&N filter??
Do you really think K&N gives them a kickback or something?
I highly doubt it...
Typical Maxaholic attitude and mentality="all-knowing"

 

I can't help it sometimes!

but as far as I know the usual concensus on this site shows that "drop in's" add no power! I suppose I'm just follwong the established way of thought on here.....

 

Im sure drop in produce some hp but major hp but something

 

Wow are u an idiot.....
Show me the artical. I have never seen Turbo claim anything without a dyno test to back it up..
Your statement about newbies is out of line...
It just shows the world how stupid you are....
You want to make blanket statements about newbies show us your proof. You are just makinig yourself look worse.
another moron with an additude..
Hard to belive you even own a car, or is it daddys?


Know what you're talking about before you open your mouth it will help.

"as far as I know" what do you base the wealth of knowledge
You throw out statements. Have you tried these items on a dyno? do you posses hard facts to support your foolish claims?
No.....
You cant help yourself?
You are a weak minded fool.
Dont responed unless you can back it with solid facts.
You show the world how dumb you are with ever post you make.

Ahh lighten up And some newbies are clueless but thats only becasue of the lack of time they spend on the org. I'm sure you will noticve it too after a couple of weeks or years or what not

 

I take it personal.
I do not like bigots in any forum.
I'll try to mellow.
Fast Walker

 

and take the large stick out of your *** to boot!!!! ligten up I explained why I said what I said, and about the newbie comment I'm sorry, but now I don't think I should apologize sine your acting pretty much like a loser about the whole thing. Lastly if you can't take what I said than too ****ing bad, my final words for you.............................. SUCK A FAT ONE LOSER welcome to the internet...

 

 

I stand by my posts.
You offer nothing but your opinions. No documentation to back up anything you say.....ligten up?

Fast Walker

 

 

Dude u shouldn't have said that. Now you're going to have to explain this 'internet' thing to him.

 

What documentation, other than your original posts, should be provide in order to tell you to lighten up?

 

I tested a K&N air filter with my G-Tech Pro a few weeks back. I first did 3 tests under the exact same circumstances, same place same time etc, My first 3 runs were with a almost new Nissan Airfilter, the times I got were all with in .05 seconds of each other, I then did a quick swap with a brand new K&N air filter and did 3 more runs the results were about .03 slower on Average then the runs I did with my OEM air filter. I know these the .03 lose may have been from driver error but all my runs were with in a few hundreths of each other. So in closing, a K&N air filter definatly does not make any noticable difference what so ever. BTW I read the article in the mag and I do believe it did add 4 HP, but was the comparison tests a dirty used OEM filter VS a Brand new K&N filter? If the answer was yes then the 4 HP was achived becuase the original filter was dirty.

 

shut up emax! Jk
Actaully how on target are those things anyways?

 

In a SC system 4 hp is not going to make any difference that you can feel. The percentage of increase of horse power is almost nill around 1 %. The test on turbo doesn't state the condition of the old filter. They did dyno tests in a lab condition. Not with a stop watch at there favorite drag spot.... "" how do you like the dvd alpine? What kinda 1/ mile times do you get wiyh a SC?
