I just put on my GReddy SP2 catback system today. It looks and sounds great! I just have one concern. Right next to the part that conects to the catalytic converter, there's a hole in the pipe that looks like it was made for a sensor to be plugged in or something. The mechanic plugged it with something. Does anyone know what the hole is used for?

its a faulty o2 bung greddy put on there... you did right, just plug it...

 

Thanx bro...

 

mine was plugged too

 

you have a 1995 nissan maxima, that hole is for 1997 and up. that year has a extra o2.

 

the guy told me there is no o2 sensor that can go in there, there was no o2 sensor even in that area... he could only find 2 o2 sensor, and none of them went on the cattback

 

Humm, Then I am wrong. BTW how much did you pay for your SP2?

 

$500 of ebay, brand new

 

I never come across anything like that. dammm

 

you can get it for like $470 off hopupracing i think it was...

 

the guy let me take it before the thing ended lol i have no idea where my rear o2 sensor is, my cel light is on and the code is the rear o2 sensor but i cant find where the 3rd sensor is if there is one for 99's because look on this picture http://www.courtesyparts.com/A32_O2-sensors.html , doesnt show any 99's

 

found some info, there is no o2 sensor past the catallyst on a 99 cali, doesnt say how many o2 sensors though http://www.greghome.com/Greg's%20Garage/1999%20Nissan%20Maxima%20SE/Courtesy%20B-Pipe%20Restrict.htm

 

humm intersting. i don't understand the pic tho.

 

excuse me... $439...

i had free shiping and handling, that site u listed charges you 62 dollars for delivery and you dont really know if there in stock

 

We sell it at just under $490 shipped if you call in and let us know you're a member here.

 

yeap! i got mine off steve aka SWA...great customer service and transaction went smoothly. btw i got it for $485 shipped...

 

someone has GD for $465 SHipped right now, but only til end of november...

 

what needs to be done in order for this to fit a 97 maxima gxe. I heard that the 95-96 is a lil bit shorter because the 97-99 bumpers are a little longer..would the 95-96 sit flush in the 97 bumper what needs to be done thanks alot...

 

yes thats what i like to see, thats really good price. But my question is, how much modification you need to install it on a 99 maxima? they say its only for 95-96....

 

none... it sits flush with your bumper (its too long for the 95-96)... you only have to plug one bung... (there is 2) one for your car, and a faulty extra one that needs to be plugged...

 

mine was a little short, i dont know why but when i see pictures of other people with greddy sp2 on there max it sticks out but mine doesnt. Not really noticible.

 

Thanks for the information.

 

how much did it cost u guys to get the SP2 installed, because i was thinking id do it myself, but i dont know how to plug it, and ive heard shops use some kind of goo to seal it, and if the hangers need to be welded,i cant do that either, so just wondering

 

Is Sport Compact Only the same as soutwest auto now. Also, the sp 2 lists on SCO as fitting the 97 max. Is that different than the sp 2 that is for the 95-96 max?

 

get a bung for it. I believe the size is M18x1.5. I think happy knows for sure.

FYI 97-98 (maybe some 99) have an O2 after the cat.

 

gracias my friend

 

i think bung is the wrong word
I ment bolt or plug, but you understand.

 

it cost me $100 to get it installed and to close the o2 sensor, i think he just plugged something in there to close it and didnt weld it or nothing like that, got it installed a at a meinekie

 

If you can get it for within $10 or so of SWAW then go with SWAW and support our sponsors! Cant' blame you for saving $20+ though

 

F*** meinekie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my gosh, they screwed my catback up!

they told me that they couldn't get my o2 sensor out so it'd be another $160 for the only one around town... i didn't want to pay so i had them chop the new b-pipe and weld it to the s-pipe (o2 curvey pipe) and now it hangs lower and looks like s... i know they lied because the next day i went to another exhaust shop and they took it off with ease!

THEN!!! meinekie put in the curved pipe backwards which made my tip hang way out and crooked from the cutout, and the pipe kept banging against the car...

ot i know... but it still makes me mad!!!

 

99 cali-spec has 4 O2 sensors, 2 on the y-pipe and 2 on the front header.

 

To my understanding GReddy now has an SP2 for the 97-99 Max's for sell and those don't need any modifications to it.
There is a GD $465.

 

this is only til the end of this month i think though....
