Being a person who's bought a warpspeed y-pipe, you won't notice too many gains. If I were you, I'd just spend a lil more for the OBX's. You will feel the difference with those.

Yea, on my 4th gen they said getting the headers were pointless cause ours flow fine but i wanna get headers this time cause i had alot of problems installing y pipe to stock manifolds.


and the y pipe alone didnt feel like it did too much but wow IT DID! my Friends 08 Civic si 6 speed used to get me by a car from 0 to 90 and after y pipe i took him by 3 cars same race lol.

I've heard that you really don't need to go all out on headers if you're NA. As long as the headers are well made, brands shouldn't matter. But then again, I can't confirm the validity of that statement.

The only quality headers available for the max ATM are Cattman. Anything else is simply a waste of money. Installing headers is difficult with hand tools so unless you are looking for every extra HP then I would advise against it. Our headers can only be improved upon by buying some that are symmetrical and/or long tube, neither of which are attributes the stock headers have.

If your pulling the engine, go for OBX.
There's nothing wrong with OBX, it's just a lot bigger job than just a y.
Your going to hate the world if you try to install the OBX.
I say just the warpspeed, IMO.

I Have a Shop and Air Tools and From looking at it the rear manifolds dont look too hard to remove.

Really i just wanted to get the set cause looks and should have zero clearance issues, last time the y pipe took 8 hours to put n and had to cut the flange's and was a pain in the *** trying to get them to bolt onto stock manifolds.

I have a 00se 3.0^^^

And they still fit, just like Cattmans from my 02 will fit on a 95, with these you get a equal length Y-pipe on there, but your CASH....

Can someone remind me if this will work on a cali-spec car? I can't remember if all 02-03 Maximas had 4 O2 sensors or not...

No. 2000's came fed-spec mostly, with only 3 O2 sensors. The 01 AE came Cali-spec, and some others ended up that way, but I just wasn't sure about 5.5 Gen's.
