Me? How? I asked a very simple question. Easy to answer if he actually knew what the Y does and how it's built. If he really could not answer the question with intelligence, I really doubt you want him designing Y pipes for you/us.
And I guess this guy was all ready w/ all these new Y pipes for maximas, prototyped them and test fitted them. He I guess was ready do dyno. But in the last minute of frustration decided to pull out and not sell to us maxima onwers. How does that sound? I really makes me wonder how far along he was if he was ready to pull the plug so easy.

The ignorance in this thread is UNREAL.
Yes, InfiniteMotorworks & My4DSC are one in the same.
I explained in my first post as Infinite Motorworks that if you wanted the history of this EMAIL ME.
But some people don't understand that.
I did not want to come in here stepping on toes and naming names outside of email...you would know why if you took the time to email me and get the story.
I will answer all your questions/comments for one last time, then I'm out of here to conduct my business on eBay.
Unfortunately a few bad apples spoiled the bunch as the saying goes & now everyone will miss out the group deal pricing i was planning. Oh well.

If simply stating that a y-pipe was available for turbo applications shot my credibility out the window, I guess Brian Catts has no credibility either because he states his 3" y-pipe is for turbo applications as well...check it out at:
http://www.cattman.com/y-pipes.shtml#pipes
I've fabricated turbo kits on inline 4 cylinder engines which is entirely different than a v6...
Now that I think about it, I would tend to think that when a single turbo is used on a v6 engine setup such as ours, you would probably just have a pipe connect BOTH manifold (stock and turbo) to each other and then just have a single downpipe, in which case it would not be beneficial to buy any y-pipe.
Then again, I think there are...what... 3 turbo maximas?
Which brings me to my next point...WHO GIVES A SHIET?
Let's chalk it up to a brain fart...
Or you can just continue to crucify me...
I could care less either way.

When you make big claims, you better be willing to prove yourself, and so far he hasn't.

My original post stated that SOON I would be marketing this y-pipe...
You didnt even give me a chance to show pictures...
let alone dyno sheets, which would STILL be challenged until someone neutral actually dyno'ed their car...
If you weren't so quick to jump on my case I wouldve been more than happy to explain myself, show pictures, etc...
It's all good though...

No, actually that would require the knowledge of how a TURBO SYSTEM would be setup on a Maxima.
Did I say that I was the engineer responsible for doing the actual design/prototyping/building of the product?
Actually, I am in charge of SALES, not manufacturing.
I never said that I wouldnt sell to Maxima owners...
I simply said I would not do a GROUP DEAL on Maxima.org...
You really need to learn how to read, my friend.
You have what is called "Tunnel Vision".

How is that "posing as somebody else".
Just goes to show that some people need to learn how to be civil to others...
Even if, god-forbid, they are labeled a "Lurker".

Generally in a business you dont run off and cry to your mom. Now you are 'depriving us' of your product. Umm, we are the people who you depend on, who BUY your stuff who PAY your bills. Whenever someone comes in here with big claims, as you should know, everyone gets a bit skeptical. For good reason. Do we remember the headers? Yeah.
We all hope that you are going to sell a low cost, but very effective Y-Pipe. Finnish all you need to do, start making them, and tell us. If they kick ***, then your work speaks for itself. I dont see why you are getting all ****ed. Answer the questions that are asked, prove the people who doubt your wrong, and develop a low cost Y.

Of course that deal was going to be ONLY for the Maxima.org community whereas websales and ebay would be closer to regular retail price...but after hearing the reactions of some people, who didnt even give me the respect of an email to hear my story, I decided...Why should I bust my A$$ just to be harrassed & tormented? There REALLY is not much in this deal for me at all...And I could make a MUCH larger profit by marketing it elsewhere, which I still plan to do, besides selling to .org members.
I know some of you may still doubt my altruistic intentions and some may even think I'm naiive, but those who know me personally & KNOW THE STORY BEHIND THIS realize what's up.
And once I release the products, it will be CRYSTAL CLEAR.
I may reconsider a group deal on the .org in the future due to some very sincere emails I have received in the past day....but don't expect it tomorrow....

i'm prolly not gonna get the pipe since i'm not real performance oriented, but i'de like to say thanx for trying at the very least. i dont' see a point of me getting a y pipe since i plan to keep my stock set up, and once i go towards the performance side of teh spectrum, i'm not going to be able to use a y-pike even if i wanted to...

People were curious because it sounds too good to be true! We live in this cut throat world, so no one expects stuff at a FAIR price anymore, and thats what you say your going to do. People are baffeled!! Its no reason to run. Again prove 'em wrong, and actually do it man. I think it would be really good for the maxima community if you can actually pull it off.

Oh this thread is back.
Cattman's site does say "turbo applications", but that doesn't mean you should state it also for the reasons previously mentioned. Right? I suppose you agree w/ the statements given you didn't really dispute that a turbo application for a V6 maxima, would basicly be a 100% custom job. Yes, there are only a handfull of turbo maximas(at best) but that wasn't the question. And your first answer is questionable at best.
Maybe I was trying to descredit you to a point. But we have seen funny claims before. Sorry to offend.. but times have dictated that we all should be somewhat wary when a new name comes to town.
And Maxima2000, why would anyone listen to you? Your like 10 years old right? I doubt you know the difference between a VTC sprocket and bicycle sprocket.

Re: Re: Damn You Jeff!!
Maybe I am, maybe I'm not!! LOL!! Anyway if this Budget Pipe doesn't pan out I may be the next Patch Max!!! LOL!!
I'm looking at Muffler shops now in the phone book #;>)
This whole Y pipe war is dumb to me.. All of the Y's have cracked, broken and hissed since the inception yet they all charge high a$$ prices..LOL!! We've(DC Area peeps) gotten Stillen pipes for $250 shipped for the past two years of course now it seems Stillen/Maxima relationships have died but if Stillen can still get a profit off of $250 why couldn't others?? When my Budget pipe breaks I will surely post. I've already taken pics of the Y with my digi cam which is available for sale #;>)
