The only maxima That I've heard that sounds anything like a V8 is Y2KevSE with his new turbo.

he's totally right...a small displacement V6 will never sound like a V8, especially with an import motor.
if you want a deep throaty sound, then do a ypipe, resonated bpipe, and straight through muffler.

My Supercharged Maxima sounds like a V8 
In fact, it's more throaty then my friends Camaro SS.
...coming back to reality now. A flowmasters 2 chambered 40 series muffler is going to get you the closest thing to a "V8" exhaust note. IMO the Greddy's and all that "straight through" jazz sounds too monotone. I do admit that they keep the depth nicely in the upper revvs, but have no charactor. The f-master will give you a more raw hollow tone then the fart cans.
You want an even throatier sound? Flowmaster Camaro style 80-series muffler. The kind that's supposed to be transversally mounted. That's what I have. More piping, classic flowmaster design = rawer sound.

Nah, dont worry guys, that wasnt me being mad or anything. I just wasnt wanting people whoring up this thread telling me absoloutly nothing (No advice on what to get). I know I cant get it to sound like a V8, but I meant I want that "V8" deep tone, thats why I used "" around the word V8. So hopefully I didnt confuse too many people. Thanks for everyone thoughts so far.

I was at the Nissan dealership today and a guy with a '98 Mustang GT that I know with bbk headers, bbk catback, offroad x-pipe, chip, pullies, STS, ect. dropped by to pick up some wiper blades for his mom's Maxima. Obviously his car was loud, and very throaty. Sounded very nice. He heard the technician crank up my car and was like Whoa, that's a really nice sounding exhaust!! You shoulda seen his face light up when he heard it. I'm just like, ya not bad for a little 6 cylinder.
I'm not trying to be concieted here, but if you want the deepest sound get a setup like mine. At WOT though, it sounds totally different. Not ricey, but definatally nothing like a domestic V8. It sounds high pitched, but aggressive. At idle and cruising it sounds extremely V8ish. When the tech pulled my car into the garage and test drove it around the lot, you could hear it rumbling around the entire dealership.

Just becuase you bought your Maxima for basically what it's meant for (
) does that mean us others can't have fun with it? I personally like the symmetrical look of duals above all else, and it improves the look of any car. Second, I personally love a deep raw exhaust note. If you prefer a quiet Maxima like most people out there, then that's your deal.

The newbiest of no0bs would know that. I was just making a point.

MaxiN it Up !!
I have been working on putting some video of 97 SE on the web. At the moment their in flash. which is a small download if you dont have it. anyways ...if you have a high speed connection its nothing to it...just let each movie load completely, then it will play continusly ...if you have a 56k or lower connection ...go watch the sopranos or something and it should be kicking by then ..you can hear my exhaust .. from in cockpit, outside, and i put one up of the car and just a jwt popcharger ... soon im going to make some more racer ones but these will really give you an idea of what this type of setup sounds like

All the compliments I get and the incredible sound at cruising/idle is worth the slight drones at certain highway RPM. For instance, one time me and my friend were sitting in a movie parking lot and 2 random guys came over to my car and asked me about my exhaust and gave it props. Things like that happen all the time. I did the system to please me, but when all those people appreciate it, it definatally makes things worth it.

You can duplicate my setup for around ~$400 with resonator.

Yup, mandrel bends definatally are possible and definatally better. I did crush becuase I was n/a at the time and didn't care about the 1-1.8hp I was missing with crush bending. My Y-pipe is mandrel bent, and thats where the majority of the power gains come from. Now that i'm supercharged, I could probubly see a small gain from going to a mandrel b-pipe and mandrel bending the piping around my tire well, but it's not worth it to me. If I was running an insane amount of boost like mardigrasmax is then I could probubly see gains of like 6hp by switching, but I'm not and never will.
