Dont want a rice sound, what muffler should i get....
I just purchased a warpspeed y-pipe and their new high flow cat that they now offer, and my question is what kind of muffler will sound good on tha max with these mods. I was planning on goin to triple a muffler and getting the rest fabricated to the muffler; catback, but just buy a good aftermarket muffler. I don't want my Maxima to sound like a rice burner, i am looking for something with a deep growl in it. I am thinking either flowmaster or magnaflow, not sure in which one i should get. I had flowmasters and my 300zx and those were way loud, you could definately tell that i was coming in with that exhaust. But im do not really want tha max to be that loud too. I don't think it would look right sounding like a v8 cuz that is what my Z sounded like. Something subtle but when i get up on it you can here her purrr......and when im in neutral it still has a small growl to it, nothing ricy, i hate the sound of those exhaust. Just please can someone help me out, i do not want to buy the wrong muffler. Also if anyone knows a precise brand and model number to what im describing please tell me so i can get it. I want it to look good and sound good too. Thanks

Yeah that is what i am kind of aiming for, so who makes a muffler that is like this. That kind of looks stock too, but with a deeper growl to it. My friend has this 89 Prelude si and his exaust just sounds horrible in my oppinion. When he revs it up i wanna cringe, he purchased the exhaust off of ebay. I have looked on ebay and they sell the generic rip offs of Greddy and Hks mufflers, but that is what he had bought too and he car sounds like a rice burner big time. Maybe because it is a honda, i don't know. But I know Nissans are tha **** and mean big business and i want my Maxima to represent.
I read a while back that Greddy has some muffler that has just the right tone to it at low RPMs. At highway speeds, it is nearly as quite as a stock muffler. Trying as I am, I cannot think of what it is called. Sorry bro!
Borla Turbo muffler. $100 off Jegs.com. It sounds good, a little louder than stock, but very quiet for an aftermarket exhaust. Doesn't sound ricey at all. Hopefully I can get some vids in the next couple weeks after finishing my max (new engine/suspension/brakes).
check out my video...This is the way you should go :-D http://www.geocities.com/c_leming420/PCDV0002.AVI It prolly wont work most the time b/c of my gay *** bandwidth...if anyone can host this for me, that would be great!
I have a N1 style muffler. It has a loud grunt tone in lower RPM and at 3500 you cant hear it cause my intake drowns out the exhaust. If u like bein known when u come into a parking lot then u should do my setup. Custom 3inch catback exhaust, hiflow cat, and N1 style muffler. The only problem is later on it starts to annoy people on ur street because when u come home at 2 or 3 am u will wake up a lot of people.
couple weeks ago, I put together an exhaust for an SE-R friend..
he HAD a Brospeed muffler and a 22" resonator.. that thing was so loud, I had a headache after about 10 min in the car.
we installed a 2.25" Magnaflow muffler, 3 or 3.5" tip on it.. he paid about $80 for it off ebay.
added that and a 24" resonator, and the thing sounds GOOD. no rasp, no rice, just a nice mellow tone. you can barely hear it at idle, and when he's on the gas, you hear more from the intake than you do the exhaust- all the way to redline and back down. I was very impressed.

i have a magnaflow, it sounds deep, through 1500 to about 3200 depending on the amount of gas you give it. at highway speeds you cant hear it, but it gives a low deep throaty sound
and is dual tipped with 3 inch tips. tooks great sounds great. best investment yet

On topic: Be like me, get a Civic cat-back exhaust from one of your ricer friends for real cheap and install it on the Max! lol Mine now sounds like my neighbors 350Z. It's great! I love the sound of it, the piping fit damn near perfectly and it was only $75 for the whole system!!! Gotta love Honduh's sometimes? lol
heres the magnaflow site, mine is number 14805
i dont have any good pics on my car, but it is loud and quiet at different rpms
i love it

I had 4 tips on my 300zx and they looked damn good and were really loud, made my 3 liter sound like a mean v-8 i got lots of compliments. but i agree though wouldn't look right on a 3rdgen
