well upon further inspection my cats are clogged to shhhhhiiiit, going to replace them with aftermarket headers but there are none out for a 6 gen 6 speed yet


should the altima se-r headers work fine as long as they were made for a 6 speed manual altima?


thanks

Chris.

 

Good luck, I had to buy a used set of craigslist.

U ever get those installed?

 

No.... the cat that came with them has to be replaced $$$.... and install costs $$$$ and im in -$$$$ so life sucks for me.

And my stock cats are all jammed up and one got sucked back in to the motor so nissan has to swap the motor and replace the stock cats before I got and install thease on my car.

How do you exactly know that the cats are clogged?

 

got sick of trying to figure it out dropped it off at nissan, they want 3290 to replace the manifolds/y pipe and stock catback because they claim the cat material has clogged the stock mufflers


oh well, time for a sp2 and some headers

 

DO IT!!!!!!! what Nissan dealership?

If you want, I can call my tech up and ask him about installs for anything and everything. The guy is very cool and able to do anything for a very low price and some Polski beer!

 

YESS!!!!!!!!! POLSKI BEERSKI MMMMMMMSKI!!!!!

 

took it to arlington as it is close to my house. let me know how much he would want for the header install, until then im trying to decide which to buy, and wiating for mark at one6 to come back from vacation to quote me.

 

Shouldnt cats be warranty because its part of emiisions?

 

106k miles baby

 

I'm just curious if you are having some rattling/clicking issue with the clogged cats...? Thanks

 

well altima headers with egr port will fit 6 speed max with no problem. Finish my cousin install with the reg altima headers( no egr) a couple weeks ago. had no fitment issue with them so the ser version shouldn't give none either.

 

Why not fix the problem at hand? i.e. why did the cats fry in the first place?

Never heard of that brand. Pun intended with intention to find out what brand they were.

 

im assuming becauase they have 106k miles on the oem cats?

 

I have 235k on my ol cats(VQ30DE car) and they have not given me trouble until, yet..........................

Clogged cats? Never heard of that. So should we all expect them to be clogged by 100,000 miles?

 

no.. it's definitely not normal..

 

Which specific ones? And did he have an exhaust shop mod to use the EGR?? Any CEL??

 

can't find the link of the ones i bbbbbought since it was like 3 months ago but they are the same as these eBay Motors: Nissan Altima 02 03 04 05 06 V6 3.5L Exhaust Headers (item 280141521014 end time Aug-15-07 07:39:03 PDT)
we have the egr plugged right now but goin to get the welded at the end of the month. and yes we do have a check engine light on.
the reason they don't fit the auto's without modification is that the starter is pointed towards the headers on the auto.
