hello all i'm glad to say that i ordered my ypipe from warspeed. $160 shipped GREAT deal. hopefully it will not take a long time for it to be shipped. just wnated to share

 

Is this your first mod?

 

wow! are you serious!? a y-pipe?? please tell us more about it!! can't wait to read more about it!

sorry, just givin ya a hard time. you're gonna love it. especially if you haven't done a lot of mods yet.

 

Seriously, did you have to tell the org that you ordered a pipe?
I can't wait until the ypipe installed thread...

 

hey, guys! i just ordered one of those weird plastic screw spring loaded things for the grill of my 96! i broke it when i took it out and then ordered a new one! can't wait to put it in! i'll take pics and get a sound clip!

 

hahahah i love this 4 gen thread. i just wanted to share the pice that i got my ypipe for geez..hahhahah 'tuff love' from the 4th forum ahhahhaha

and no this is not my first mod haha i have plent mods. geez. hah

 

Haha, can't wait for that!

 

Congrats, but a thread of the ypipe actually on your car would have been better.

 

yeah, no kidding. some people on here can get such attitudes. and we all LOVE our cars and we just think that people will want to enjoy it just as much as we do, but they are busy gawking over their own car. it's cool, just don't make it a habit of starting new threads for stuff like this. just throw it on another one, and you wan't get bashed.

sorry to ask a dum question but guys i am new at this what does a y-pipe do!

 

i've already bashed too much in this thread, so i'll be nice. first, you should read what you can in the stickies, but it is a part of the exjaust system that connects the two headers into a single exhaust piping. kinda like a ' Y ' shape. the stock one is frickin ugly and very restricting. i read that it even goes down to about 1.25" in diameter from crapy bends. but an aftermarket y-pipe is 2.5", which greatly increases flow and therefore frees up some HP and the sound of the engine. there are a lot of posts around here. check out Budget/LSS exhaust and Warpspeed for more info. (Get budget if you do get one soon!) overall, many will agree it is the best bang for the buck on a MAXIMA!

 

You've got to be kidding me... read the FAQ'S or read half of the threads posted within the last 6 months. I really hope you aren't serious.

 

yeah, people have to look back a few pages before they post stuff right away. topics are just being repeated all the time. the reason old threads are saved is so other people can reference them and add to them, not just to blow off and write your own. the number one thing on here that pisses people off is when other people

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

i just cut my y-pipe up and installed an electric cut-out. yay for me.

 

Further to the newbie question, it helps to get more air into the y-pipe and exhaust as well. I'm not into noise, so I've only coupled my stainless steel Budget y-pipe with a K&N panel air filter, which breathes better than the OEM air filter. Others prefer cold-air intakes (CAI) or a popcharger, but I don't as I'm not into noise.

 

hey JOMAN,
for 160 you got the mandrel bent aluminum coated pipe?

 

yes sir call wardspeed. that is their price 160 shipped.

 

hey guys, what does the gas pedal do? gimme a break, u cant be serious. and about this thread, why did u post a thread about getting a y-pipe??? Next thread will be... i just got a shift boot, i cant wait.

 

hahhahahaahahahaha

 

rock on..
I called today but they were closed

 

I don't think I'll be purchasing a Y-pipe until I can find one thats equal-length, for sound purposes.

 

What do you mean 'that is equal length'? Are you worried about fittment problems or something?

 

No, there are no fitment issues that I know of with the standard Y-pipes. Since the manifolds are equal lengthed, equal-length pipes help equalizes the pressure between both cylinder banks as well as cylinders that share a manifold and collector. The exhaust gas pulses are evenly spaced which smooths out the sound instead of getting that sharp tone that you get with most aftermarket Y-pipes.

 

no, he means for equal length headers. the rear header does a kinda smooth loop so that both headers travel equal length before they merge together on the y-pipe. this is ideal, although, they are harder to work with and not much room under there, although, i think Custom Maxima and Cattman have some? a normal y works also, but the best of the best is equal length. $$$!

 

i just ordered a cheeseburger, fries, and a diet coke... i cant wait to eat it! ill post comments when im done

 

HAH! Lay off the poor guy, hes just excited.

 

ahhh, i got ya. Thanks for the explanation bro

 

I order my budget Y-Pipe on Mon or Tues. They told me they would call or email when they ship it. I still haven't heard from them. Is this uncommon?

 

 

thnks... :

 

how long ago did u order your ypipe?

 

........ on Monday or Tuesday of this week. They were like it will take one day to ship, one day to cross the border, and about four more days to come to Georgia. I am just dying to get it installed and goto a track for the first time.

 

Do you have a CAI or popcharger? I'm not into noise so all I have is a K&N panel air filter along with my stainless steel Budget y-pipe, and I can certainly notice the difference in power, particularly over 4,000 rpms.

 

Yes I have the CAI. I think I am going to call it quits on Performance Mods after this with the exception of Rear Sway Bar.

 

just ordered mine too........
should be here by next friday...
