I'll do some kind of promotion, it just can't be at the $695 price with the US$ as weak as it is.

Paired with the MEVI it sounds even better. The headers and cat-back are top quality in fitment and finish.

 

What is the Diameter of the headers, because If I'm running a 3inch exhuast system for my turbo how would it be affected?

 

im interested in buying cattman headers for $695 is this deal still going on?

 

read the thread man and then ask questions

 

if you are running a turbo setup, then you need a custom y-pipe for a turbo (because a turbo is ran by exhaust gasses). these headers are good for a supercharger setup not turbo, a supercharger is belt driven and needs no modifications to the exhaust.

 

Any chance I can score those sound clips? Thanks.

 

Here's a couple clips of my setup:

Yo. I want in on this.. However i already have a Y Pipe. SO how much are we talking for the headers? I saw a guy in the forum quote it being like $345, is this true??? If so i might have to cash in some accounts cuz i want theeze!

 

Steve, thanks for the links however they don't work.

 

I see you haven't read **** in this thread. You can't use these along with a y-pipe. They replace the y-pipe and the header.

 

When I arrived home tonight I ear a clunk which I normally dont, I've check underneath the car and apparently the resonator and B pipe are due for an upgrade, so I'm thinking of buying the cattman headers and cat-back at the same time, so who can make me the best deal ? You can pm me or e-mail at: andre@3diweb.com

Thanks

AA

 

Are there any left or is it already over?

 

hey cattman i gotta question i have a Ypipe i bought directly from you in arizona and i wanted the headers...can i return for full price/credit on the heads? cool thanks for the great products...since no one seems to apresheiate

 

Sure, if its in like new condition and you pay the freight, we'll take it in trade without any restocking fee.

Any Body Knows How Much I Will Spend If Someone Will Install My Headers And My Y-pipe.do U Think I Can Do It By My Self?

 

Wow this is an old thread. I can only wish that Brian would discount the new one's by $100 again, when they are ready.

Airness: I believe if you get the Cattman headers you will not need your y-pipe as the headers come with its own distinctive y-pipe.

 

I hear that... I am waiting patiently for mine...

Anyone heard of new developments on the production?

 

snolife: Wat u mean i dont need the y-pipe?Evrybody saying that the y-pipe can give more HP but the thing is its hard for me to install the headers i bid one on ebay but i didnt won the headers and y-pipe ill try again next time to bid but i think im just gonna bid wit y-pipe only!. Any idea how much it cost to replace the old headers with aftermarket headers?

 

I heard middle of this month but I doubt it. When I first put my bid in for a place in line it was suppose to be the end of may.....second week of July, here we come......

 

I'm glad to say that this project is moving along well. I expect to receive the first production set later this week for installation and approval. Once that's done (including any small adjustments that might be necessary) we go into full production.

Obviously unforeseen things can come up, but I don't anticipate any obstacles to bringing these online before the end of July. We'll fill the backorders first, but production should be pretty constant into the future.

Our introductory price will be $799. Won't know the shipping costs until I know what it weighs and the size of box required.

Just so there's no confusion...

Its not possible to combine a set of our header manifolds with the performance y-pipe that you'd install to replace your stock y-pipe. Since our header manifolds are completely different than the stock pair, the y-pipe connecting them has to be a different configuration. Plus, we use equal length runners in the header version that you don't need in a regular performance y-pipe.

I'll also mention that a Cattman performance y-pipe (used with stock headers) will make between 12-15whp on a VQ30DE. That's all you can expect from a y-pipe; suggestions that they will make more are not correct. A Cattman header set (manifolds and their y-pipe, intro price will be $799) on your car would typically make between 18-22 whp. You get about 50% more power for a little over double the price and 2-3x the installation time. Some will think that's worth it, and others won't.

ya lets get this thing ROLLING brian...DO IT...rum and coke, do it!

-Brendan

 

wat u think removing resonator too to make sounds more loud?

 

Brian,

Hope all is well. I also hope I'm still on the list for this part. If I'm not mistaken it's a combination of y-pipe and headers, so it would go quite nicely with the fastcat and catback I got from you a couple months ago. (which, btw, look and sound very very nice)

 

Hey guys:


For us So Cal people, can we pass emissions with the headers installed? I really want these headers but I think it would be too cumbersome (and expensive) to put the stock manifolds back on every 2 years.

I'm thinking that it should pass the tail pipe portion of the exam (with the primary cat in place) but I"m sweating the visual inspection. Would the OEM heatshield(s) do a good job of 'hiding' the headers?

It's hard to believe that all the Maxima dudes in So Cal are taking their headers off every 2 years. How are you guys pulling this off?

 

Did not know we had a memeber in Hermosa Beach, you should come out to our meet in July. See this: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=478128

 

Holy old thread

Almost 2 whole years later and i'm still lovin my headers

 

I'd be thrilled to attend the next meet.

I've been lurking on this board for a little while but I'm still a newbie to the Maxima world. I have so many questions as to what I can get away with here in California.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the headers but I just need to be sure about certain things. If discretion is a factor, please feel free to PM me with any useful tips.

Also, I need to hook-up with an honest and competant mechanic to assist me with my A32 (exhaust/suspension) mods. Recommendations would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks for a cool board.

 

Brian Catts should be able to answer your question...regarding the emissions and testing about the Cattman Headers!

 

I have no reason to doubt that Brian is a courteous and knowledgeable fellow but he lives in AZ.

I was hoping that a So Cal resident could chime in because if it's a P.I.T.A. to pass, I might be in need of a local "header friendly" smog shop.

My decision to purchase these headers is hinging on this.


Thanks everybody.

 

if anything, u can come down to the chevron near my house...i've smogged their twice and the guys running that place, they really don't give a damn....well, i'm sure they will...but only the "real" obvious stuff...like loose wires and aftermarket intakes that is wide open to the eyes....headers is another story...u cant really see it that well unless you kinda take a peek...

anyways, these guys really don't care...they just pop open yer hood..hook up some wires...run it on the dyno and if you pass, then u pass....simple as that...

hopefully you can make your decision without too much contemplating...they are definitely worth it....if you want, check out the clip in my signature for a taste of how they sound!

 

I don't need to live in California to be familiar with the experiences of my Cali customers and aware of Cali vehicle emissions regs. Obviously you've got three potential issues, 1) making sure there's no CEL when you go to test, 2) passing the sniffer test, and 3) passing visual.

#1 is not an issue if the part's properly installed
#2 should not be an issue if your main cat is working properly
#3 is a real variable, but based on the comments in this thread and the experiences of our Cali customers, there's nothing difficult about finding a performance-friendly shop that will overlook the visual side.

Keep in mind that there are many Cali y-pipe owners that face basically the same thing you would with headers - one or both pre-cats have disappeard and they have a visible non-stock part on their car.

so hows the progress looking on these things??? still lookin like the end of july?

 

how's it looking Brian?

 

jump on these guys! the quality is great!!! made by the same manufacture as the catbacks that he has been selling for years now and is known for their fit and finish and above all sound! I should have a video clip comparing stock y pipe, unresonated straight pipe, and cattman catback on here soon, and then a comparison with these gen 2 headers with the same setup....and then again with my electric exhaust cutout dumping right after the headers...sounds amazing--think jgtc vq30tt equipped 350z's...! the sound alone is worth every dime...not to mention that at a local socal maxima dyno day, I put down more power with the same mods as many 4th gens did on my 5th gen at 5000 rpm's then they did at peak...too bad I found out my VIAS was broken...but it still put down better #'s than all but 2 of them with the cutout closed...! lol... if you must know with my variable manifold broken...I put down 194@5K and 210ft.lbs/tq...granted it was on a dynapack...but my #'s were just as inflated as everyone else who I beat out that day...and the weather was piping hot to boot...with my vias working I would easily have made 220whp before tuning!

 

whats the status on this. i got driving stick down now and need more powa

 

Maybe if Brian can do another "deal", maybe more people would jump on it. I know another Maxima dude who is cheap, but it is what it is, I guess. Im all for it if I can save a few bucks, the two of us have talked about this already. I guess sometimes to play you gotta pay.
