A Dallas thread came along so all his city mates could keep in touch,
The dreamed of it being the biggest thread; they longed for it so much.

But the one member that could make a difference wasn't around. Who knew?
A cry for help came from DuckBlue and arrived in his Inbox,
CasperTL turned to the keyboard as quick as a fox.
He posted and posted until he was done,
Sacremento can kiss our a$$. WE ARE NUMBER 1!

Below is the email DuckBlue sent me:
I'm ALWAYS proud to help out...
Out of curiousity, did anyone actually read page 136, I had two questions that I asked and would really like a response too. Plus it will show that i'm good for more than just whoring....

Below is the email DuckBlue sent me:
Okay guys, we've spotted them a bunch of points, but the gap is now 100! 
Let's keep it up. Where is Casper when you need him???
That’s posted by ruf, after a sac guy came to our thread and found out we’re whoring to catch them

Anyway, slept pretty good, but no normal yet. If I lay flat it puts too much pressure on my shoulder and even with drugs it still a big discomfort.

He's trying to find a shop that will hopefully be able to match his color while the kit is not on the car, but if that's too difficult then he'll do what he has to.
Thanks,

My b-day was last sunday (Oct. 13) and I'm trying to decide what to get for my b-day. I have a few options.
1) Y-pipe. Supposedly adds close to 20hp and a good amount of torque as well.
2) Muffler. I would prefer a bolt on, but if need be, i'll get a universal and get some fatter pipe to go from the cat to the muffler.
3) CAI. Injen is one of the few manufacturers of a CAI for the 4th Gen Max. I don't know why, but they would be my brand of choice since no other well known company makes one.
4) Standard Intake. Most Max owners on the Maxima forums just get plain intake. It's cheaper, but that's the only advantage that I can find.
5) If yall have any other ideas of what I could get. Something fairly cheap, and I don't NEED any stereo equipment.
Thanks again,

.There's a company in Canada that makes a pretty good one that is becoming more and more popular. It costs about $210 + shipping.

SHIFT_over.so.I.can.see
definetely Y-pipe... Is the Y-pipe is the pip that connects the two headers ? if so then how could it possbily add 20hp... that's a pretty tremendous gain... if it's something else then I'm a moron and compeltely wrong... How about a nice alarm or something? maybe upgrade your navi (if you have it) to watch DVDs... better yet a tq. convertor or tranny cooler if you've got an automatic... not sure how much those cost though so I could be outta the b-day price range...

hey Mantis, where did you get that leather stuff (pinnacle) that you were talking about? I need to clean up mine a bit it's already getting creases and I've barely had it 2 months now... of course I do have 4200 miles on it already... so that might explain it...

You are correct about the Y-pipe. It is the pipe that connects the two headers to the exhaust manifold. The reason that it adds so much is that the stock pipe is like 2" (i think) and contains 2 pre-cats and other crap. The performance one is is 2.5" and contains NO pre-cats... The dyno test (www.motorvate.ca - GREAT Maxima site) actually shows a 30hp gain in the engine and even 30ft/lbs of torque! That site did the test with the pipe that I will buy.

I'm sure it can be had for a cheaper price, I was just to lazy to look at the time.

this is the "Tech Analisys" of the y-pipe vs. stock y-pipe.

Whatever happened to eman. I remember he didn't show up for a meet, then I don't think we ever heard from him again. If you guys remember, he actually got the Comptech Headers on his. He had some nice rims to I recall.
If it hadn't been for my 22 posts this morning I wouldn't have passed civic.... :pfawk:
I catchin up to DuckBlue.... shouldn't be too much and i'll own him too.

After coming to HIN, the street races, and a few nights at the track, I figured she'd be down.
