Are you referring to my 3rd Gen or my 5.5th Gen regarding a 3" catback?
Yes there are a crap load of pictures you can go back and look at regarding my 2.5" MES system it's installed just putting my pieces together since ...I'm always under other people's cars......

lol at least our exhaust doesnt look like a fudging pretzel
i dont get people that dont even have a 3rd gen whining about this, i think this is the first full 3rd gen exhaust to be made. must be nice to have a 4th gen where you can get a sh1tload of aftermarket still

Hey, a good friend of mine told me something I'll never forget....."If you weren't doing anything, there wouldn't be any hating" So thanks for the compliment GENT! Hope your recycling muffler makes all those wetdreams worthwhile....

Got the headers back on and I'm working on the intake system and fuel rail/injector upgrade....and buttoning up a whole lot of other things....Had to portmatch the the newer style lower plenum intake plate to the LIM......
#328
Actually that went more like "If they ain't hating then I ain't doing something right."
#329
Well guys the exhaust sound awesome it's sound almost unnoticeable during idle and It may be slight deeper....But I'll update yall with more once I start the test drive portion of my exhaust install!!!

The exhaust is deep @ idle, & authoritive @ part throttle and quiet as hell @ any speed for street or highway.....Exhaust gases are hot as hell and the velocity @ the tip is crazy!
#333
Wow, I finally got the mandrel exhaust systems piping on. I actually ended up getting the 2.5 diameter with their 14' magnaflow reasonator and then for laughs, welded on a thrush cherry bomb. Oh, man is it deep and loud. I think it sounds great.
I just took a picture of the edge of the piping and the muffler because I am tired, but you get the idea...
I would like to get a sound clip on soon...

I used an 18" Magnaflow resonator.....I was really surprised on how hot the exhaust gas was exiting my 22" rear muffler! I glad that you got yours installed I'll be trying to identify this timing belt eating problem....something is misaligned or something else really simple like a burr on the one of the sprockets.....??????

First off. Is the MES exhaust pipe's still available for the 3rdgen? How do I get in contact with them? Do they have a resonator pipe? I need the whole resonator pipe, from cat to muffler. My 1 year 1 week old CM stainless steel resonator pipe just split at the seam. I have a Magnaflow cat, new OBX headers waiting to go on, I have a 1 year old CES front pipe but I'm using the front pipe that came with the OBX headers(just gotta weld in a flex section) and a new Megan muffler 2.5" inlet. Everything will be 2.5" if I can get a good res pipe. I doubt there going to replace the resonator pipe...a CM rep is calling me back today about possible replacement because I'm a week over a year warranty.

How do you guys like the MES kit, now that some time has passed.. still happy with it, no leaks etc? anybody get the stainless yet or is everyone sticking with the aluminized? I want to order it soon once i decide on a resonator
#351
I love mine....It would only leak if you (the DIYer screwed up) I used an 18" Magnaflow 4" round muffler as a resonator and a big *** 5 x 11 x 22 rear muffler and it's quiet and deep @ idle....I went the aluminized route and painted them with 2000 degree F duplicolor exhaust paint and it's still looking new! I used clamps in the sections I wanted to be able too bring down into sections just in case I have to remove it for maintenance...
#353
#354
That's an easy fix then! Cut the rear pipe (just fwd of the swaybar) and pivot the pipe to the left side! All the tubing comes a little longer so it can fit or be fitted to just about anything you're gonna use!
#356
Congrats on getting that done, that Magnaflow is huge CMax! I almost went that route after deciding to get rid of my beloved DynomaxVT (I even gave it to the muffler shop for free lol) but since I had kept my '02 Max Muffler, I had it installed again. Since it was on my beater '93 Altima 2.4L, I went 2.25" piping, Magnaflow metal core high flow cat, 18" Magnaflow 4" resonator with band clamps.....sounds mellow

Did you ever run the variable/crossflow max muffler on your 3rd gen? I wonder how much louder the magnaflow would be vs the Max muffler. I can't believe that the Magnaflow is that large but I remember the Max muffler being 19" long so the Magnaflow is 3" longer. I don't think I could've fit the 22" Magnaflow on my Altima since my piping has to go up over the RSB and rear subframe (IRS) and the max muffler with larger piping was pushing it....your setup looks really good w/that black paint....
