**************************************WARNING - READ PRIOR TO INSTALLING*********************************
THESE ARE STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION PICS ON THE CATTMAN Y-PIPE FOR THE 2002-2003 NISSAN MAXIMAS. THIS Y-PIPE FITS LIKE A GLOVE AND SOUNDS INCREDIBLE. INSTALLATION SHOULD BE DONE BY A SKILLED PROFESSIONAL AND DIRECTIONS SHOULD BE READ PRIOR TO INSTALL. BASICALLY IF YOU FUCK IT UP, DON'T BLAME ME.
YOU HAVE TO EXTEND YOUR 02 SENSOR WIRES ON THIS Y-PIPE. MY BUDDY JEFF WHO INSTALLED THE Y-PIPE, USED BUTT CONNECTORS THAT WERE HEAT SHRUNK AND HEADER WRAP AROUND THE WIRES TO PROTECT THEM FROM HEAT. WE THEN USED HAY WIRE AROUND HEADER WRAP FOR A CLEAN INSTALL. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO EXTEND THE 02 SENSOR. TIME AND PATIENCE ARE A MUST ON THIS INSTALL.
RANDOM NOTES I TOOK DURING INSTALLATION: USED WD-40 AROUND THREADS TO LOOSEN UP BOLTS. IT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO RE-INSTALL NUTS. HAND TIGHTEN NUTS FIRST, THEN USING AIR GUN (IF YOU HAVE ONE). UPGRADE REAR BOLTS BY MOVING THE FRONT BOLTS TO THE REAR STUDS (GRINDING THEM DOWN, SEE PICS BELOW). YOU HAVE TWO WHITE WIRES WHEN YOU EXTEND THE 02 SENSOR. USE A SHARPIE PEN AND MARK ONE OF THEM SO YOU WON'T THROW AN SES LIGHT. WE HAD A HARD TIME SOLDERING THE 02 WIRES. THE WIRE SEEMS TO BE MADE OUT OF STAINLESS STEEL OR SOMETHING, WE EVENTUALLY USED BUTT CONNECTORS AND A HEAT GUN.

CATTMAN Y-PIPE OUT OF THE BOX
CATTMAN Y-PIPE HAND POLISHED TO A SHINE
THE WIRE IS LIKE STAINLESS STEEL AND DOESN'T LIKE BEING SAUTERED, SO WE ENDED UP USING BUTT CONNECTORS AND HEAT SHRUNK THEM
WRAPING THE WIRES WITH HEADER WRAP AND HAY WIRE TO KEEP IT TIGHT
RELOCATED O2 SENSOR. TOP BOLT ON Y-PIPE IS A PAIN TO TIGHTEN
