Cold Air Intake
2.5' Cat Back Exhaust
Y-pipe (Headers Optional)
V2 Supercharger
*S/C alone might give you the results your looking for
* Price is very high
* It is a bolt on config but still labor intensive
Use the search bar at the top to look around the forum im sure their is plenty on this subject.

Full 00vi with pathfinder throttle body, vias delete, all bolt ons and a greddy eu tune will give you just over 210whp. You can also add in performance cams for the vq35de but I don't think that'll crack 250.

vq35de bolts up to either tranny with your.current timing ring. The other main thing u need to do swap timing gear cause our ecu doesn't do vvt (intake). Then.there's wiring. 02-07 vq35de with full bolt ons Plus cams and.tune you're.looking at prob around 275whp. The 09 vq35de feature some.improvements (suraatt has swapped an 09 vq in an 02 maxima) with bolts ons and.tune only it Made 300whp ALL MOTOR, STOCK CAMS.

don't fully quote me on the years of the vq35 but you get the idea. You can find that 09vq35 build in the all.motor and dyno slip discussion sections and under alm motor you can find all the people that have done the vq35 swap that maybe able to help you.

If he's n/a then boosting for you wouldn't be fair lol. Another cool thing I thought of was using the vq30 with 00vi and sentra ser 6spd gearbox. People do this with vq35 but there's too.much torque with that engine for those Short gears (therefore a maxima 6spd is used) but for a vq30 itwould prob be awesome.

if you're interested there's a really sick supercharged maxima for sale from my local club. it looks beautiful... Dark.silver with carbon fiber hood.n.trunk, slammed on some fat rims, bride seats with a ****load of stealth audio mods, with 12psi on a vortech supercharger Makin linear power to redline peaking at 350whp.

He might be willing.to sell the whe engine.setup if that's all you want (it has about 165k km on it). Then its just straight bolting it up from there!

better is hard to say, depends what youre looking for. the warpspeeds cheaper by a good amount but the cattman is made of better meterial i believe. i have the cattman and have no regrets. im sure there are other differences between the two.

if your comparing warpspeed to cattman, than CATTMAN is the better and most effective choice, better materials, better workmanship, better gains as well, warpspeed y pipe sounds horrible and if you get the non stainless steel version it rusts very poorly as well,


cattman headers and y pipe combo is the best exhaust systme for these cars and great power gains as well

warpspeed y-pipe is just as good as the cattman. Same quality but far cheaper!! It sounds great actually especially with a high-flow cat and after market exhaust on there. I have the apexi ws2 exhaust and magnaflow HFC and mine sounds great. There is not a negative thread about the warpspeed y-pipe, the guy above is blowing smoke up ur ***. He knows nothing about warpspeed. Please, he such an embarrassment to talk bad about warpspeed y-pipe. now there is no question if you want headers get cattman.

wat the **** are you talking abt? im an embarrassment? blowing smoke up his ***? are you serious?? when you say ppl havent said anyting negative abt warpspeed,ppl complain all the time abt the bees in a can sound, have you ever seen a non stainless steel warpspeed y pipe? have u seen its condition after a few months in use? without owning or actually having the warpspeed and cattman to compare dont **** on me and my knowledge abt exhaust components,

read this and you will know better till than dont f*up this thread with your f*ing bull****, btw your the embarrassment here not me

here is a idea, get the stainless steel, like i did and wow you dont get the bees and the can sound. Mind blowing i know. They look identical to each other. There both the same product, same quality,etc. but difference prices. it has no bees in the can sound at all and there is negative comments about the cattman y-pipe. u crazy.

Yup I'm crazy if u say so, and this is coming from someone who stated there's not a single thread stating negative comments abt warp speed? And they are the same quality? really? Who's crazy now?

But I'll end my debate here I don't want to congest it with nonsense, I posted the thread up here for everyone to read and understand

Don't leave out OBX-R from the list of Ypipe options. I had a set of OBX-R V2's. Mostly comparable power gains to the Cattman and better craftsmanship over the Warpspeed.

Ok let me set things straight. I have a warpspeed ss y pipe... The difference between ws, eBay and cattman performance wise is NOTHING. cattmans y pipe comes together at the Flex while warpspeed goes into a 2-1 collector and then flex.pipe.

and why are we comparing ss cattman to an aluminized warpspeed??? That's stupid. My warpspeed Ss has been on.my car Pretty much 2 years now through winters, it's only turning a nice light brown.colour from heat and usage.

to settle the.sound difference of bees in the can... They will produce an extremely similar sound and you may still get bees in.the can because it's the nature of super short headers and.uneven y pipes.I'm on mobile now but.please.check out.my exhaust clip by searching "carsnwomen91 maxima" in.YouTube and you'll find it. This is pre 00vi, only intake, ws y, 2.5" magnaflow cat and 2.5" eBay cat back. I found if you keep the stock cat but have a y and cat back it makes it raspy. I figure its cause its a 2.5" going to 2" cat and comin out at 2.5" cat back. The stock cat would.cause some turbulence for.being smaller than the rest of the piping down the line.

oh and As far as price goes, the cat plus y pipe (which I had to wait for because warpspeed needed to find a stainless steel dealer) cost me 450 shipped to Canada, so about 400 for you guys which is the same price as cattmans single y pipe. the resin for this is cause cattman produces only for the maxima while warpspeed makes things for other cars too so they don't have to.limit things. Cattmans craftsmanship is def bit better and it looks a lil better too but to call warpspeed garbage is just dumb. It's still a damn good part for the price and.fitment was bang on.

Meh that's an interior exhaust clip. It can sound like bees outside and we'd.never know. I get a lil bit of rasp on free revs but nothing under load. I'll upload a few vids cause I did some 2nd.gear pulls with 00vi
