Hey everyone I just installed a short ram intake and planning to purchase a megan racing exhaust but everywhere is like out of stock, I'll take suggestion for others out there and and I'm not sure what to do next for performance

 

Greddy sp2 catback with a stillen y pipe

 

better get ready to pony up some doh for that setup. warpspeed is fine with a decent cattback imo.

 

Have you read the stickies yet? Plenty of performance mods listed there.

Thank you for all your suggestions I'll be looking into them right now

 

What brand should I be looking at for the y pipe

 

Warpspeed

 

You do realize that Stillen ypipes have been discontinued for a very long time. Maybe once a year does a used one pop up for sale in the classifieds.

Even the Greddy SP2 is discontinued, but every couple of months one pops up for sale in the classifieds.

 

15-20 hp gain, is that normal for a y pipe swap, #warpspeed

 

Yep, sure is. The ypipe is the best bang for your buck performance mod IMO.

 

Haha yea everyone says the same thing gotta order her tonight

 

perhaps i shall give you a glimpse of my already painted and ready to mount warpspeed y-pipe, at the bottom you'll see pics. goes on wensday.

I went with Kensei, (Ebay) cat back and its held up great. 2.5", mandrel bent. All you need to do really when you buy is get some better gaskets.

look on Youtube "Chrisman287 Ebay cat-back", pretty much same deal


Also, what year is your car? Federal spec or California?

 

I drive a 96 max gle, honestly not sure if California or federal spec

 

Check out this sticky to determine if CA or Fed spec

I won't be able right now, but if it makes any difference I live in NY

 

Your location is irrelevant. Gotta check the plate on the firewall.

 

Ugh damn I will in the morning, what will it affect the exhaust I'm getting or something like that

 

Not the catback exhaust, but definitely the ypipe. There are two versions of ypipes...Fed Spec and CA Spec.

 

Fed Spec



CA Spec

 

When it comes to catback systems though, be careful that you're looking at 95/96 vs 97-99 catbacks as there are slight differences.. ie tip placement and O2 bung

 

I'll be right back definitely worth running out to see what it says

 

It's California :@

 

I just realized that you said you have a 96 Maxima. CA vs Fed spec doesn't matter in your case. It only matters for the 99 Maxima owners.

 

-_- i went out in the rain,hot my heart pounding about to cancel the order then you realize it was for the 99 lol

 

On my part it was a rookie movie buying without a completed research on the pipe

 

No worries. When I hear CA vs Fed spec, my brain instantly thinks 99 Maxima. My bad too.

 

I hope to receive my WS Y-pipe this week. I already have the old one off the car.

If you plan to DIY, check out this thread and link to a sticky doc for Y-Pipe swap.

I'll be painting mine like Max Ride. The only super high temp paint I can get in my little burb is VHT.

Thank you your the best man, what year is your max and when did you order your ws pipe

 

Thank you. I have a Black 1999 SE 5-speed.

I think I ordered the pipes a couple of weeks ago. Dallas at WS indicated the pipes would ship on Monday this week when I emailed him on Thursday.

We had a tornado in the central AR area this week that destroyed some trucks along I-40 in addition to houses and a new school so I know trucking deliveries in my area may be running slow this week.

 

Oh that's crazy, hope for the best man

 

When you get up to 80 mph does your wheel wabble like crazy

 

ummm, no that would indicate a problem with the front suspension, end links, etc. or a plain re balance of the weights on the wheel.

 

Yea the balance is what I was guessing

 

The WS Y-pipe and Magnaflow High Flow Cat arrived yesterday.

Some pictures of what to expect for a 99 Model Fed Spec are listed below.

Boxed vs. Old



Unboxed vs. Old

Man that looks beautiful how much was the high flow cat

 

$100

 

I forgot ask but when did you but the y pipe cause I bought mine Tuesday I don't think it has been shipped

 

I got it with the Y-pipe.. Both arrived in the same box.
