hey Brian could you post a pic of the RC2 intake? Ive been hearing so much about it lately.

 

There's a green link to the R2C site in the sale post. You can find pictures of their filters there, but I don't think they show the specific filters that we'll be selling with the JWT POP venturis or as replacements for K&N or Monsterflow filters that came with Place Racing CAIs. I'll take pics of those as soon as my filters arrive from R2C.

Brian

 

in terms of the R2C filter..

i currently have a berk/apexi setup.. its about time to replace my apexi.. could i essentially use this r2c filter? or does it require some sort of piece like apexi uses ...basically does it have a opening where one could put a clamp around and add it to any intake system...if it does.. ill be placing an order..

thanks--

 

Will your b-pipe for the '97 max bolt up to stock cat and muffler?

 

We're carrying two basic styles of R2C air filters. One is designed to go with the JWT POP-Charger velocity stack, meaning that the entire bottom of the filter is open (6" opening) and clamps around the cast aluminum JWT velocity stack (sometime called a venturi).

The other style is the classic cone configuration with a 3" ID neck/outlet that's designed to clamp onto 3" OD tubing. I'm not closely familiar with the Berk/Apexi setup, but this style that would work there if its just a matter of slipping it over a 3" tubing section.

Brian

 

Sure will. Obviously the tubing is bigger (2.5") and it flows better than stock, but as far as fitment goes, and the way it attaches to the parts in front (cat) and behind it (muffler), its an exact dimensional replacement for the stock b-pipe.

Brian

 

the apexi unit has a large maybe 6" ill have to measure.. and then has a piece that attaches.. the venturi stack.. i doubt they are interchangeable..ill have to take a deeper look at it tomorrow..anyways.. what would either one of those be shipped to ct 06489

 

Brian,

Do you have any pics of the intake midpipe kits? I cant seem to find them on your site.

Thanks!

 

Here's a picture of the upper intake tube assembly for the 95/96 Maxima, ignore the JWT POP-Charger.



Brian

 

do you have any pics of the R2C filters?

 

oh ok, are these the same intake tubes as the 5.5 gens?

 

No, but I'll take pictures when they arrive. R2C makes a wide variety of filters and I only want to post pictures of the specific ones we're going to be selling.

If you want to see what they generally look like, check out the R2C website at R2Cperformance.com.

Brian

 

Sorry I didn't make it more clear, but if you read the ad again, it indicates that the upper tubes are only available for the 95/96 Maxima and 92-94 Max SE (although the 95/96 tubes are easily adapted to fit 97-99).

These are from Place Racing's old inventory and the only types still left. I have pattern pieces for all 89-03 Maximas and could get more made, but haven't done so - didn't seem to be enough demand. Maybe that will change with the R2C filter setup.

5.5 gen shifter bushings from energy suspension?

Price shipped to 11421 and in stock avaliability?

 

PM sent!

 

$17.99 for the part + $7.00 for Priority Mail shipping, and we have these in stock. Give us a call at 800.759.9920 (open 9-5 MST, M-F).

Brian

 

do you have any pics of the 4thgen headers + whp gains?

 

Sure, the pics are below. The Cattman header/y-pipe system makes around 19-23whp on the VQ30DE, depending on transmission, engine condition, and other performance parts. The same parts on the VQ35DE make 22-26whp depending on the same factors. Note that highly modded cars, or vehicles with s/c or nitrous will do a bit better than these numbers.

Entire system:


Header manifolds:


3-1 collector design (a very critical performance factor)


Y-pipe close-up, equal length rear downpipe and protective skidplate:

Can I see pix of the Ralco crank pulley; got any dyno numbers, hows it compare to UR?

 

just talked to cattman...super nice guy very knowledgeable and helpful. order ES shifter bushings and Ralco STS kit! will be ordering my rear sway bar next week

Just a reminder to our many customers on the East Coast, we're out west in Arizona and it can be a bit confusing to keep up with the time difference. Confusing, because AZ is the only state in the continental US that never goes on daylight savings time (Hawaii doesn't either). During late spring/summer/early fall, we're 3 hours earlier than Eastern Daylight Time (same time as the west coast, PDT), but when y'all go off of daylight savings time (like you will in a week or two), we're just two hours earlier than Eastern Daylight Time (same time as the other mountain states).

We've lived here a long time, but my own family still can't get it straight. ;-)

Brian

 

Sorry I am a bit confused between the Cattman pop intake system and the RC2. I'm looking for a complete intake system. What would you recommend the Cattman pop intake and filter or the Cattman tube with the RC2? Can I get a quote on the intake system for a 2003 Maxima SE 6spd?

 

Interested in the Ralco RZ shift-shortening kit for 6MT Maximas. Is there more information you can link me to regarding this? Their website doesn't seem to list much info either for this product. Also any in stock, shipped to 30084?

 

I don't blame you for being confused, the text in that part of the ad needed some serious editing - I'd gotten two different deals mixed up, its correct now.

The Cattman POP intake is a complete intake system, plus we have the optional upper tube that goes between the MAF and throttle body for 4th gen Maximas.

Please let me know if you have further questions.

Brian

 

I don't know of any online sources of further information on this part. If you send your email address by PM I can reply with the installation instructions.

Brian

 

Brian, could I get a quote for the complete Cattman POP intake system for a 03' 6spd maxima please.

 

Do you need the headers to use your y-pipe, or can the y be used with stock headers on a '97? Did you ever make a y that could only be used with the headers?

 

The introductory price is for the Cattman POP intake system (an R2C filter combined with a JWT velocity stack and bracket) is $119.99, and shipping ranges from $13-17 within the continental US.

For your 03 Maxima, that is the complete system. We have upper tubes (goes between MAF and throttle body) for the 95-99 Maximas (but not later vehicles), but I will point out that although it looks nice, I don't believe the upper tube adds anything to the performance.

Brian

 

The y-pipe that comes with our headers for the 95-03 Maxima (sold as a 3-piece system) can only be used with the headers. We also make a y-pipe that can be used by itself (with the stock manifolds), but its not possible to properly design the manifolds around that y-pipe.

Please let us know if you have other questions, and don't hesitate to call (800.759.9920, open 9-5 MST, M-F).

that 3" price is really tempting.. i start my saving... but hey brian... if i dont catch the sale how much is it regular???

 

About $30 hgher.

Brian

 

Here are some pics of the "new" intake kit we're selling, combining the R2C filter with the JWT POP-Charger velocity stack and bracket, AND the basic R2C filter with the standard 3" neck (last photo).

I think the flow rates between traditional oiled cotton (K&N-style) filters and R2C filters are similar, but the R2C clearly does a better job of filtering out engine-destroying dust and grit. Look at it his way, R2C is best for daily driving on the street, but the oiled cotton might be the best choice for the track.

Here are the kit components:


Here's the assembled R2C filter and JWT velocity stack, showing the 4 bolts that attach it to the MAF inlet:


Here's the R2C filter with a 3" neck that would go with most CAI systems:

Congrats on R2C Brian. Did they provide any direct comparision info against the Apexi? I've been under the impression that was the best dry offering in the market.

 

sup guy im new to maxima.org
im looking for a turbo or supercharger kit. can anyone help me

There was a graph on their website that matched the R2C filter with several others (can't remember which) based on flow and particulate pass-through, but I can't find it now, and there's no point in trying to call them during SEMA.
