yeah im leaning towards warpspeed also. they have them on ebay also for 215 shipped. but if this one is cheaper than budget and also better quality than budget i would get it.

and also what is with the 2 piece design?? doenst stillen have this same 2 piece design??? im thinking this is why the stillen has the bees in the can sound.

The pic says fed-spec but the description says there are 3 o2 sensor holes and it is for both Cali-spec and Fed-spec. If you were shopping on eBay, would you buy it for the picture or the description. $20 says it is the same pic that seller uses for every y-pipe. I thought Fed-spec y-pipes only replaced 2 o2 sensors?


You are Bidding on a *** Brand New Polished Stainless Steel Race Y-Pipe (Header)show in picture / gasket included but required to trim or you can purchase OEM gaskets from Nissan parts department *** Fits All Nissan Maxima 95-01 & All Infiniti I-30 3.0L & 3.3L 95-02 *** Estimated 12 to 20 HP Gains Guaranteed *** California Spec w/3 O2 sensor holes *** Check your Local Laws *** Estimated 12 to 20 HP Gains Guaranteed *** Federal Spec w/3 O2 sensor holes *** Check your Local Laws & Regulations before Bidding *** For Race only *** No Reserve *** Good Luck !!!
Seller probably doesn't know either...

its a 2 piece design. the second piece is for the fed spec. you don't use the second piece for a cali-spec.

I guess you didn't read through my post...just because the pic shows 2 piece doesn't mean it is the ACTUAL pipe they are selling.

No but read through the ebay ad and tell me it doesn't say '3 o2 sensor holes'...

Only Cali-Spec uses 3 o2 sensors.

Why would anyone want to buy a no name Y pipe from Ebay? It's only slightly cheaper than Budget. At least with Budget you know you're getting a quality pipe and it's been dynoed. Also, there'll be no confusion as to if it's a Cali or Fed spec.

its actually a universal pipe.. for fed and cali.. see its a 2 peice.. so if you have a fed, u just attach the smaller peice and use a 02 sensor plug or bolt for the 02 sensor u dont need..

this is same design as stillen..i dont know if it is stillen though,, a real stillen ss pipe would cost like 300 +
