Just got off the phone with Peter at OBX, they are not yet available (four more weeks or so before they reach the shores). PLEASE NOTE:

WE WILL HAVE THESE AS SOON AS THEY ARE AVAILABLE, AND THE PRICE WILL BE IN THE LOW 300 RANGE (320-340), WITHOUT A GROUP DEAL NECESSARY. Keep your eyes open on our site, and we will make sure we get things going as soon as they are available.


Thanks
Alex

 

You D' Man!

That includes the Y-pipe, right? Headers + Y-pipe for that price?

 

Yessir, the complete kit

 

Schweeeet!

BTW, YGM!

 

thats awesome!




but i'm still not buying them til i se a dyno

 

is it just the headers, or the headers with the y pipe? Also did you happen to ask about cali spec cars?

 

Thanks for doing the leg work on this. Any word on headers for the 02-03's?

 

I would also like to know.

 

alex has stated that it was for both header and ypipe...

great price for both if they do what they are suppose to do... can't wait...

 

I meant about the cali spec.

 

good to know, any idea if it's 2.5 mandrel bent? Also with cali spec (me being a 99.5) any idea about that? sorry to ask again, just wasn't answered

 

one thing is can you just get the headers to go on your own y-pipe.i dont want to get rid of my cattman y.just headers would be cheaper.

 

Maybe, but if not, you could EASILY sell it for a Budget or Warpspeed price, so figure $160ish.

Or better yet, since you have to unistall the Y-pipe anyways to install the headers, just go with the OBX header/Y-pipe and sell the Cattman/Stillen for $250-300ish.

 

Do you think the OBX combo would be better than a Cattman Y and headers?

 

if we are cali spec, do u think the headers will bypass the one remailing cat? cause that's what i'm trying to get rid of

 

No dynos, no data.

Everything else would be speculation(ie guessing).

 

better would be good... but i would be with just the same result for that price..

 

3.5 ?

 

Quit crying and be creative.

 

CEL will come on for sure.

 

It's funny that nobody mention how hard it is to install headers. Don't be surprise if your mechanic wants to charge you $300 labor.

 

$300 or just header install labor... might have to rething about it..... but then again.... if dyno shows great result... i'm all for the extra $300

 

Relocate REAR 02-sensors, no biggie.

 

What mechanic? No pain, no gain.

 

It's the front O2 sensors that will give you the problem. CEL is a guarantee for 1999 calispec and 2001+. Unless you buy an O2 sensor emulator.

 

Several people have done the Cali to Fed conversion, I don't believe this will be any different.

I believe(*could be wrong, it's been awhile), they ONLY moved the rear 02 sensors.

Doesn't Cali spec have an O2 on each bank right before and right after the precats? If so, relocating the REARS will work.

 

Yeah...cali-spec have 2 before the precat and 2 after. I guess relocating the rear o2s will work. But where do you relocate them to??

 

B-pipe....right behind the MAIN cat, which I'm pretty sure rules out a "test pipe".

IF there is some way to shield the REAR 02-sensors slightly from the exhaust stream, we may be able to "trick" it into thinking the cats are working. I believe it's just looking for a temperature delta between the front and rear sensors.

 

That headers in general require more upkeep. I have scraped a many knuckle retightening them.

 

Damn..I do have a test pipe on the car. I heard people use aluminum foil to cover up the O2 sensor.

 

I've never heard that.

Locktite won't work?

 

TQ them correctly the first time and there wont be a problem.



$300 install is understatemnet. It's a 8 hour job. Lot's of pain involved too..

theres quite a difference between the camaros and the maximas..Camaros engines are also turned sideways (hope you know why) to make things MUCH easier...
i actually went yesterday to a muffler shop to look at making me some custom headers and a full exhaust..he said its gonna be REALLY tough and take a lot of time.. he said expect to pay a little over a grand

im sure u have....no doubt....buh...im still skeptical....8 hrs~!!! damn....wtf???

aites....u gotta think where im coming from......
i hae access to a lift...several lifts accually....
"autoshop"
fix alot of classics...and old POS domestics....old and new camaros mustangs....bla bla bla

but i do work ALOT on...TL, TLS, CL , CLS, intergra, RSX, civic, eclipes....all that good stuff...and of course the max....
atleast once a week on these cars....and twice on domestics...

man....8 hrs~!!! ...*shaking head....
alright....IM GOING TO TAKE THAT **** OFF after the holidays and see how long it takes me, w/ the lift....

It took 2 mechanics I know about 9 hours to do with a lift and air tools. I did the rear manifold my self on my 2002 and it took me 11 hours. The front mnaifold is pretty easy to do.

 

WTH????
hmm....might have to reconsider....
Y duz this take so long..??? is there really THAT much crap in the way????
isn't it just bolt off and on???? the integra headers are SO easy~!!!!! w/ in like..an hr or so...

what makes it so hard????
man.....what da heck....

 

Maxima headers will be a pain in the *ss because the rear manifold is so close to the firewall.

It's nothing like a 4banger Integra or Sentra swap. Nothing AT ALL like it in terms of EASE...
