Dmb, I ment 2 hours all together, 1 hour of testing tomarrow{before the headers} and 1 hour next week{with the headers}.

ya true, so they only bill in one hour increments?? that's bull. Where is the dyno, maybe we could split an hour, IF my car is ready for dyno. 30 minutes is enough for some pulls. just a thought IF my car is ready.

.org dyno log
Their should really be some kind of .org dyno log. I think I asked Jamie about something like this a while ago, but I didn't get a responce.
It might work something like a list of mods on car in comparrison to HP/TQ ratings, accompanied by a dyno gif. This could be an interactive search based on component. Search for all dyno's with Y-pipe. Out comes a list of all Y-pipe dyno's, telling brand name and other mods along with car year, (maybe even humidity, bar pressure and temp for the day, blah, blah.
I know this isn't worked out. I just thought about it as I commented. Anybody else got any ideas?

Yeah, but you gotta figure that your typical Supra driver does a lot more dyno's than a Maxima driver. I'm sure that guy is making a ton of money off their club!

. I will take pics in a few minutes, I have to run out to the store and get some AA bateries and then I will post the pics.

Ethan-
When I was installing my Pacesetter shifter a few nights ago, I looked up under the car and checked out the rear manifold bank. Even with the engine cradle and front/rear engine mounts removed, there is no way you have access to all the nuts on the exhaust manifold. There is also no way of taking the manifold heatshield off either from underneath. I seriously believe you will have to remove the intake manifold to get to all the nuts and heatshield. Maybe there is something different about the engine compartment in the Eurpoean Cefiros. I remember GuidoSST telling me that the Cefiros have a different firewall that is pushed back a little farther to make room for the VQ30DET (turbo). The space between the manifold and firewall on the US Maxima is about nill. Even with a wild set of sockets and swivels, you don't have the room to work. You should really get underneath your car to see what I'm talking about. You might want to get in touch with Don since he's already removed the front and rear manifolds.

There is a slim chance I might just go ahead and do the whole job myself, but that is unlikely.

As for towing the car there? Why do you say that? If I take my Y-Pipe off and front header and then put on my PPC front header, I don't see a problem with me driving the car. The only thing missing will be the Y-Pipe.
