if i were to put a down pipe on my car (97 maxima) and keep the stock muffler and tip on there, would i see any improvment...

also, could i just have a downpipe fitted on there, with out buying one that is "aftermarket"

well, first off... it's not a downpipe. that's for 4 cyl motors. ours is a y-pipe or f-pipe. it's a preference thing, but most call it a y-pipe.

I personally have a y-pipe with the rest of the exhaust stock and I got a DEFINATE improvement.

Personally, I wouldn't trust a muffler shop with a y simply because it has a major joint at one point and a flex section. Plus you can buy a y-pipe for less than $200.

all their prices are canadian dollar.

thanks man.... is the T-304 Stainless Steel, Mandrel Bent F-pipe the best choice, with a stock muffler and tip?

BlueBOB · Aug 21st, 2003, 09:25 AM

Any other places where to order a Y-pipe? Cheapest I've seen is $200.

www.cattman.com
www.warpspeed.com
www.stillen.com

those are the only other places I can think of. The Cattman one is good. The warspeed is popular. The stillen has lost a lot of popularity and is OUTRAGEOUSLY expsensive.
