Got the infamous $130 eBay Catback in, and honestly removing the 20yr old original exhaust was tougher than installing this… stripped the two bolts on the catalytic converter. They were torched and hammered multiple times and they still didn’t bulge.

Other than one hanger pointing the wrong way and the pipe that connects to the cat being shorter than it needed (I presume the catalytic converter this car has is different from the US version) it was a pretty easy install. You do get a lot of shiny 304 for the money

The Nissan Maxima was made in FEDERAL and CALIFORNIA specs all the way through 2001. However all Maxima’s starting in 2001 were built to California specs. This was to align to the latest National Low Emission Vehicle (NLEV) EPA regulations.

This just basically means that all 2001 Maxima’s has 4 O2 sensors.  Two upstream that monitor A/F ratio and two downstream that sit behind the pre-cats to monitor them.
