No, but we're targeting a week from Friday (15 December) for shipping the first 10 sets from the manufacturer to Tucson. That means we receive them Monday the 18th, and will ship them out Tuesday the 19th, if all goes as planned (does it ever?).

Nine of those 10 units will be "EGR port-less" for VQ35DEs and one (w/ an EGR port) will be sent to a SoCal customer for a test fit to confirm its location. If its good to go, we'll ship 15 out with EGR ports ASAP. Will they go out the week before Christmas? Its possible that at some will, but I cannot guarantee it. However, my fabricators are working in between Xmas and New Years, so we're targeting either Friday the 29th or Tuesday, 02 Jan for shipping out all or the balance of EGR-ported units from Cattman to our customers.

And the second batch (which will take care of ALL of the backorders we're holding now) should come in closely after the first. We expect to start shipping those around 15 January.

OK, ten pounds of stickers for you! We'll be receiving a fresh batch of 00-03 catbacks on Friday (08 December) and they'll be packaged and ready to ship on Monday (11 December). Quite a number of those are already sold, you should get your order in. No hit to your CC till Monday.

Interested in fastcat- do i need to get any kind of engine managment system or a Apexi controller...

is the ypipe-carb legal or whatever you call it..basically will i pass emissions

i know the headers are not...

do you know if your exhaust system is louder or quieter than the greddy evo 2 with a stock 2002 max

You may or may not have reason to install a fuel or engine management system, but installing a FastCat, or its effect on the car, wouldn't factor into that decision at all. Its the highest flowing, best performing EPA-approved cat available for the car, but you don't have to do anything to the engine operation or fuel mapping to take advantage of that performance.

We've never submitted the y-pipe for any testing or approval, but that shouldn't be an issue with emissions because the 02/03 Cattman y-pipe is the only version we make that doesn't require removing any pollution control equipment to be installed. Both of your precats, and the main cat stay in place, so there's no reason for your emissions to change at all.

As far as header/y-pipe systems go - which in every case require the removal of both pre-cats - they can pass emissions with a good main cat, happens all the time.

In every application (95-99, 00-03, 04-06), the Cattman catback is somewhat quieter than its Greddy counterpart. We use higher capacity (length and volume) resonators and mufflers. That difference is more pronounced when the car has an aftermarket y-pipe or header set. Volume's not the whole story, there's a difference in tone as well (very noticeable with a y-pipe). The Greddy has a somewhat harsh tone with a y-pipe, ours was designed in particular to sound more mellow when used with y-pipes or other exhaust parts that affect sound at the muffler tip.

Hey Brian,

Kind of off the subject there. Sorry. I am already in line for your new headers. Is it worth the cost of buying the Emanage Ultimate to pair with the new headers? Im wondering if the cost is beneficial or not?

 

The headers don't require a fuel or engine management system to work properly, but the more you do to your engine, the more performance potential is available for "dialing in" with that type of system.

How about performance difference between the Greddy and the Cattman exhaust on the 04+ maximas?

 

Bump for the Great service from brian

ordered a rear section earlier today

 

Brian,
How much is shipping for Y and B-pipe to 60074 ?

 

Brian, how do I proceed to buy the rear section for my quote (309$+53.63$). Thanks. Fred.

 

To put it succinctly, which I seldom do... A little more performance, a little less volume, and a look that's made for the car (quad tips that fit with the rear valance) rather than borrowed from the Altima (twin grapefruit shooters).

Combined shipping for the two boxes from Arizona to Chicago, fully insured, will be $61.60. We just received a fresh batch of 00-03 exhausts today, just give us a call.

Our customers have, they're making 10-14whp, depending on the transmission, other mods, vehicle condition, etc.

There's not much rocket science to a catback. If you do everything right you get what you get, power-wise, its not like tuning a header set. Doing everything right means using stainless tubing and components (stainless) for heat retention, proper tubing sizes, minimal bends and restrictions, and high quality and properly sized resonators and mufflers that do nothing to restrict flow or generate turbulance along the tubing walls. I may be missing something, but those are the major parts of the formula for a production header set and they are our design guidelines.

If you look over most catbacks out there, you can see they cut some corners. We don't, and that includes non-performance issues that are equally important, llike sound (volume, pitch and tone), fitment and durability.

I can't believe that I overlooked your message, sorry about that.

The total for Y, cat and catback would be $1145 with shipping from AZ to NY.

Thanks for letting us know the schedule of your Holiday business hours. I'll be calling in my order on Friday, the 29th of Dec for my full system exhaust (y-pipe all the way to the rear muffler) Hope you guys still have plenty of them left!
Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

 

How much for shipping a catback and y pipe for a 95 to 11432? Any deal between the two?

 

i would like to get an exhaust kit for my 02 maxima but i do not want to sound like a gay-rice-burning-honda-civic-guy ya know. how does the exhaust change performance. Also what will it do to fuel economy? thanks in advance Cattman.

 

can i get a shipping quote for a y pipe for 00-03 maxima? to 06470. this is my first time buying through this. how do i place my order? Thanks

ordered a Y pipe, good talking to you today!

 

Placed my full system exhaust order today.
Pleasure doing business with you Brian!
Thanks.

 

hey brian is the b pipe section for 289 include the muffler?

 

is there anyway to get the exhaust for an 04 without the mufflers , i have a set of magnaflow mufflers already so i'm curious what the price would be without the mufflers

 

I could sell you the other parts of the catback, but your magnaflow mufflers won't connect with it unless you custom fabricate the rear section tubing. We don't like the way that Nissan clamps on the mufflers instead of using bolt-together flanges, so the connection between the muffler rear sections and the "b-pipe" isn't the same type or in the same position as the stock exhaust (which the Magnaflows that you have are probably designed to fit).

My suggestion would be to sell the mufflers you have and apply that to the cost of our complete, integrated system.

Brian C Catts
Cattman Performance

 

the magnaflows i have are universal http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...ne=main&id=761 so they shouldn't have a problem , unless the sizes are different or for some other reason

 

I'll show you what I mean in the picture below:



I can sell you the forward section w/resonator, and the middle "Y" section, but you would have to fabricate the pair of tubing sections that go between the mufflers and the last pair of flanges, and weld hangers to the mufflers.

I not sure it would be worth the trouble and expense. You'd probably be better off selling the mufflers and buying the complete catback.

Brian C Catts
Cattman Performance

 

ok well just for information purposes then so i can figure out what's best for me to do , how much would it be without the mufflers ?
