I was wondering along with me how many other 3rd generations max's have a dual exhaust set-up, i know mine arent a true dual coming off each side of the manifold but they look and sound great!! How many are out there??

 

how does yours look?? got any pics.....

 

dont you remember, they were probably lost along with the turbos..

 

this freakin' guy again

 

;p lol

 

 

Hehe. Nice sig pic Seguy182!

 

i will have a pic on my sig of my dual exhaust. This weekend i am taking pictures of my car hopefully i will have my rims on this weekend. JoJo is doing my sig and hopefully he can do my web page. i can wait for all the haters to see things i got. You just think i lie about everything, you will see, i dont have much now but later i will, but one thing i do have is a dual exhaust set up, the pipes are Y-ed into 1 glass pak. It sounds great and looks really good too!1

 

Why waste your time? If you want Dual Exhaust, get a 300ZX, if you want more power from your maxima, then get the WSP Full exhaust and don't worry how it "looks". Remember "GO" BEFORE" "SHOW"

 

The dual exhaust doesnt slow down my max at all the glass pak actually improved the throttle response

 

Right.

Glasspacks on Maxima's = mad horespowahz, y0!

 

Why do you guys joke around alot and always give me a hard time

 

people here never forgets

 

well you don't exactly have the best rep on here now do you?? I mean you only lied about having a turbo...I mean why should we be suspicious of any of your other mods, silly us

 

HKS Glass packs? or did you forget to change your profile?

 

I guess he forgot...AGAIN

 

considering how loud mine is with the silencers out, a glasspack dual exhaust has to be really loud. . .. i have 2 mufflers too, not just tips. . ..

 

mine isnt that loud i mean it doesnt sound all ricey it sounds pretty well, it would be loud if i just had single exhaust, but there are two pipes coming out of the glass pak.

 

these pics should be good, or blurry whichever.

 

I dont care if he's got pics or not...

It's just that in my opinion I mean, isnt dual exhaust with glasspacks a little uncalled for and useless?

 

i feel the same way about automatics if he likes it, let him do it. i did mine in my opinion the "right way". all mandrel, big, and with 2 mufflers, but hey, whatever floats your boat. i don't have a resonator, so maybe his will sound better? i dunno. i'll get some WAV files this weekend of the exhaust for you guys.

 

actually, dual exhaust would never slown down the max, since stock piping is 2.5". ("stock"), with alot of test and dyno runs , it is a proven fact that for engine with 2.8 - 3.5L exhaust measure of anywhere above 2.5" (2.6 - 3.5") would only increase hp, not decrease it. I cant find the site, but if i do ill type it in some day...maybe

 

Exhaust pipe diameter is totally a function of what RPM range you want the engine to run at (ie, make power at). Huge 3" piping would flow great at upper RPM, but exhaust gas velocity will suffer at lower RPM.

Bigger piping is often said to make power only because of dyno runs with free-breathing engines whose only goal is to make the highest peak numbers as possible. They don't tell you about what the power curve looks like at lower, more "everyday" RPM. (Sure it might be making 300 horsepower, but it had to spin to 7500 RPM to get it.)

 

stock exhaust is not 2.5"...no way!!!!

 

Stock exhaust is 2" i.d. I know I just put a muffler on a couple weeks ago.

 

yeah I know that now! I always thought it was 2.25"(since mine was like that when I bought it), but yeah concensus is definently 2"!! I know for sure its not 2.5" though....

 

yes stock is 2.25" and anything larger than 2.5" is just useless on a max unless you are running some type of boost...

 

so is it 2" or 2.25"??

 

it is 2" I.D. or at least on both of mine they are.
one is a 90 gxe the other is a 93 SE
I know for a fact it is 2" I.D. because I put a muffler on myself.

I got a 2.25 muffler and it was way to big so I used a 2.25 O.D. pipe to use as an adapter...It slipped over the stock (2" I.D.) exhaust and into the 2.25 muffler.

Mine are both autos though...maybe the standards have 2.25"

 

If you say so

what Bman said is 100% right. i have a 2.5" y pipe, to a 2.5" flex, to a 3" cat, to a 3" pipe, that runs to the end of the tunnel, then it splits into two 2.25" or 2.5" (i can't remember right now) pipes. to my mufflers. needless to say that's plenty of flow. i noticed mine pulls more noticeably at the top end with the silencers out, with the silencers in it has more bottom end. also, (i noticed this more when i put the flywheel in) it revs up faster with em in, and drops faster with em out. . . . .

 

thats nothing out of the ordinary...the silencers reduce exiting gases and create backpressure= low end "power" and no silencers= higher flow(high end power)

 

oh yeah, it was expected. i just thought i'd share. ..

 

since we're on the dual exhaust topic...how about last weekend i saw a guy with dual exhaust dual tip mufflers on a new pathfinder....the poor pathfinder looked like it had been molested!! I thought about doin the dual exhaust dual tips until i saw this...might look good on a caddy northstar, but i don't know about a max.........might give it a shot though with those new dragunfire mufflers i've seen!! They're pretty small and compact from what i could tell, but that means loud sounds.

 

I think "dual tip duals" would look good if the mufflers are hidden behind a rear valence and all you see are the tips slightly coming out from the valence....there is a guy on here with dual DTMs on his 4th gen, it didn't look too great, the tips stuck out way too far and it appeared to b hanging kinda low...but ah well...

 

If anyone has any doubts about dual duals, check out Sidney's website http://maxima.cardomain.com/id/sxwk12 That has to be one of the single best-looking exhausts I've ever seen on a Maxima. Its one of the reasons I'm getting the WW kit, eventually.

 

even though sidney just bolted another muffler onto the frame or something its purely cosmetics. but still it looks real good

 

uh....yep

 

Maximum3rdgen, Sidney told me that the guy who he had do it just welded the muffler tip on the underbody!!! When my friend heard that, he cracked up over it. I hope to have duals like that one day.

 

he's from the south right? they can do that there. up here you get busted when only one tip is steaming

 

oh btw, i got an MPG of my exhaust. i'll post it prolly monday or as soon as i can get it hosted that way you guys can hear it. . .
