Aftermarket Headers

How Easy/Hard is it to install aftermarket headers. I already have the y-pipe off and it looks pretty easy for the front, but the back looks way harder, what do i have to do to get it off? any help is appreciated thanks

Headers yield minimal gains on a naturally aspirated Maxima.

I was just going to put the y-pipe by itself but it wont fit, i figured i had to use the
headers along with it in order to fit.

to put the rear headers on, you have to remove the intake manifold, and the egr. get a set of gear wrenches and deep sockets. it took Dave Sz, i30tmiked and me about two hours to swap the cattman headers rear bank out with the stockers one all of that was done. oh yeah, and we knew what we were doing.

did u get the OBX ones? I hear alot of bad things about those...but then again everyone just says just do the Ypipe seeing as headers arent that much of gain anyway.

stone racing sucks.
i hear it's easier if you tilt the engine when doing the rears.
unless you have cattmans, headers on a maxima are pointless.
