OBX SS Header/Y-Pipe? Max8MyCash? Custommaxima.com? Anyone?
Alex or Greg or anyone got a hook up on these or know for sure if they are available yet?
They have part numbers listed on the website:
http://www.obxracingsports.com/perfo...=3&subcatID=22
H00056 Maxima 00- 3.0L $499.00
H98996 Maxima 98-99 3.0L $499.00
H95976 Maxima 95-97 3.0L $499.00
The CLS and AV6 guys got a GB going for around $340 shipped. That deal was on the shorty headers and Y-pipe together.

2nd, Emaxs' NZ headers were crap! Poorly designed and he even said they admitted that. It was an attempt, but headers REQUIRE lots of R&D to improve over OEM nowadays. Heck, HotShot is on like Gen 5 for it's Sentra SER header. They keep improving and improving the design.
3rd, Dons' boring out headers is not the same as R&D headers. His headers only showed the stock headers were flowing pretty well and that opening them up gained bumpkiss. There is MORE to header design than just boring them out.
4th, headers would eliminate the other precat, balance exhaust flow, prolong ....NM....
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BUY THEM, GTFO of the thread.

THANK YOU
I am so sick of hearing the typical BS people always say when headers are brought up. No offense "confused" but this subject has been beat to death, I think people can make there own oppinions at this point.

However, you need to have the car tested while at operating temperature.

Stillen Y-pipe = $350
Cattman Y-pipe = $375
OBX Y-pipe AND Shorty Headers = $340ish????
I'm just guesstimating on the OBX price, since the CL-S and AV6 guys also have a V6 and theirs was $340 shipped.

Don't jump the gun.
1)We don't know if these are actually available, yet(Alex is calling Monday!).
2)We don't know the GB price, that was just a ballpark GUESS?
3)This is most likely not worthwhile for people who already have an aftermarket Y-pipe, since it MIGHT not gain anything over a Y-pipe for N/A. Plus, it will be a pain in the **** to install these headers according to Emax.

No dyno results, no actual product pictures yet... don't get too excited yet.
I'd love to see a set, though, especially a well-designed one that actually makes more power than the stock manifold/aftermarket y-pipe combination. AEBS looked at doing a set in `98 or so, but determined they could only do shorty headers and so we lost interest in the project. I forget who else has also looked at Maxima headers... *shrug* I'm getting old and forgetful these days.

!!!THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE INTERESTED!!!
Guys, these debates have been beaten to death in the GENERAL AND GEN SPECIFIC FORUMS already. IF these are available and a deal happens, we will hopefully see dyno results. Until, someone actually gets a set, nobody knows the gains/loss.
The skeptics do NOT need to express their opinion HERE! Go to the General or Gen specific forums for your whinning.
Thanks!

I saw customaltima is going to be offering headers, so why wouldn't he offer them for the maxima.....i know they're different cars, but while you're finding out fitments for one, why not get headers fo the max

that's pretty salty just for headers isn't it? No y pipe combo? Either way if they're is a good group deal i'll probably be in if the headers can bolt right on to my y pipe. Will it bypass my cali spec precat since im 99.5? Also any idea what's the difference between the SS and the ceramic

SS = Stainless Steel
CC = Stainless Steel with Ceramic Coating
$100 more? YOU KNOW WHY! We always pay more, because we don't buy as many. No love, I tell ya!
