Price: $599.00

I recently installed Jemini Power Performance headers and a Y-pipe on my 2014 Nissan Maxima engine swap. As Adam mentioned in an earlier post, when it comes to the O2 sensors, here’s what you’ll need:

  • Two 90° O2 spacers for the downstream sensors

  • Harness extenders for the upper two sensors (see photos)

For the rear downstream sensor, you’ll need to remove the 90-degree fitting and use only the extension portion—otherwise, the passenger-side CV axle will be in the way.

If you decide to tune your Maxima (which I’ll be doing soon), you’ll probably need harness extenders for the downstream sensors too, once you remove the spacers for the tune.

You can order the o2 extensions via Nisformance here. You need to look at your plug and then check against the type to ensure you get the correct one.

Long-awaited Headers are back for the VQ35 platform for the Nissan Maxima 2009-2024. These are comprised of 304SS and modeled after the OBX versions of prior day. *OFF-ROAD USE ONLY*
Designed for Fit and Performance

These headers are carefully modeled after classic versions from years past, ensuring they’ll clear both the front and rear motor mounts without issue. The quality is a massive step up—about 10 times better than anything previously offered by OBX. They’re a direct fit for my own Y-pipes, and they should also work seamlessly with the Motordyne Y-pipe.

Proven Gains: Thanks to the Community

A huge thank you to Gerson and King Vonn in Texas, who handled the installation and dyno testing. Thanks to their efforts, we have real-world proof of the horsepower and torque gains these headers deliver. Their work has been essential in bringing this product to life for the Maxima community.

Tuning: The Key to Unlocking Performance

For the best results, a tune is highly recommended. Gerson Flores is the go-to expert for Maxima tuning in Texas, both remote and in-person. While you can use O2 spacers, you simply won’t see the full performance benefits without a proper tune.

Pricing, Payments, and Package Deals

The new headers are priced at $599 plus $45 shipping, and each set comes with gaskets for the heads. The price reflects not just higher production and transportation costs, but also the fact that there simply aren’t any other options on the market right now. I want to be clear: this is not about making a quick profit—over $12,000 went into developing these headers for the Maxima community. I did this because I could, and because the need has been there for a long time.

If paying the full amount upfront is difficult, don’t worry—payment plans are available, with no judgment. And if you buy both a Y-pipe and header together, you’ll get the combo for just $1,000 shipped, saving $75.

Thank You to the Maxima Community

Thank you for your patience and support through the development process. The wait is over—let’s make your Maxima perform its best!

Here it is—the Maxima fresh off the dyno!

This little 3rd Gen DE with a stock block is making some serious JAM

Tuned by @gtunedperformance aka ME!

This turbo setup is so efficient that it cranked out 538whp at just 6psi—and there’s still plenty more in the tank. We were wastegate-limited this round, but stay tuned… the right one is coming!
