Altima has a different Ypipe. Also the subframe is totally different on a Altima vs our Maximas. You can't use Altima headers on a Maxima- unless its a 6th gen.
02+ Altima is pretty much a 04+ Maxima.
We have a crossmember on our 4-5th gens, 6th+ gen has a big subframe/cradle under the car with no crossmember. Hence why the Ypipe is different.

I'm not really to fond of spending $800 on cattman headers. Where can I find obx or hotshot. Ive tried ebay, classifieds on here and on nycmaximas.org. and also craigslist.

If you have a 2000 Max, you can't really use HotShot even if you found a set since they have no EGR port.
since I cant start my own thread yet..i'm asking anyone who knows enough about the VQ35 engine and the tranny is it possible to do a full swap into a 03 altima without having to buy tranny..?

If you see closely theres an egr valve on the header. Even though my car is an 03, Brian said it just wouldnt be used but rather when Im ready to sell, I can expand my selling base to not only 02-03 maximas, but 95-03 since they use the EGR.

I have been running the hotshot's for a while and have developed a header leak. Any advice on what gaskets I should purchase to fix this problem? Thanks

Where is the leak? If it's at the engine, just re-use the OEM triple layers. If it's anywhere else, you can stop by any auto store for some gaskets... it's more about how you tighten them (alternate, etc,...)

I reused the OEM gaskets, as advised on the forum. The leak is coming from the front set i believe. It is at the engine.

I had a leak about two weeks ago, but it was because I used the crappy supplied gaskets. What I think is best for you to do is to remove the front exhaust manifolds and remove the gasket so you can scrape and clean the surface on the engine. This will remove all the grime that might've been building up 'til now. Give that a shot.
I tried all this stuff and none of it works for long. Just run the secondaries back to to B pipe.
I'm going to see if I can flash the ECU to do the job.
More later.
If i go to a custom exhaust shop, cant i just replace the precats with regular exhaust piping? I figure the CE light will go on but does anyone think performance will be affected? i mean i hear its the precats that really kill performance in the whole exhaust.
Explain your problem a little further.
