Got mine the other day...now I just have to install them.

Victim64

I bet it fits much better than the Megan Racing one!!

So is this the one with the oval or round exhaust?? I know mine is oval, but I heard that some with the round exhaust were coming out?

pearl97

Your 'help' what do you have a mechanically inclined butler? J/K Post pics once its on.

BigJuice

Yeah, I want to know that too and how loud it is. I keep hearing contradicting reports that it is very loud. Maybe when you put it on (luckee2bhere) you can let us know if its louder than the greddy or not

alright whats the difference between the oval one and the round one? i couldnt tell you right now cause I dont know what you're talking about...

We are talking about the Muffler canister of itself. Is it an oval shape like the stock ones or is it round like the one in the pics on page 2 of this thread?

luckee2bhere

iTrader: (1)

it is oval...is there a difference?

BigJuice

I an not sure, with the Greddy SP(Oval) and the Greddy Evo(Round), the Evo is a little louder I think so I was thinking the same for the OBX since the pic had showed a round muffler section.

No Biggie, wainting for you to put in on and get some pics, and how loud it is.

I GOT PICS!!!!!!!!!!! not installed...but Im workin on that.

NiNe7-Gxe

can you measure the inside diameter of the pipe? thanks

luckee2bhere

iTrader: (1)

people say its 2.25 but i just measured it and it seems to be more. its not quite 2.5in. its pretty difficult to get a perfect measurement but i would say its about 2.35in on inside diameter.

Victim64

It is not overly loud. And there isnt' much drone. Just gives a deep rumble and when you go WOT it makes the car sound like it has some grunt to it. We are having a Maxima Meet tomorrow so I should be able to get some vid and sound clips of it.

For pics of it on and adjusted to fit snung in the cut out just check out my home page link to the left <<<<

Victim64

Your are more patient than me. I went to WalMart and got a floor jack and jack stands and put it on the next day! I was going to use my friends jack that helped me put my y-pipe on, but just couldn't wait for him to get back in town.

Just remember that when you first put it on, it will be really loud, but will tone down after a tank of gas.

coolio... a question though, i remember people had been saying there was a section of the b-pipe that hangs a little low.. did you notice this at all.. cause now that I just got my drop done, i'm worried, I was grinding stock muffler driving around jersey yesterday, so if this one hangs much, i'm f'ed nicely..

How exactly was it adjusted? Mine hangs too low and it's touching the rear bumper and melting it. Any help would be appreciated.

Victim64

I am lowered with B&G's and when I had the stock resonator I would scrap all the time!!

Have not scraped since I put on the obx.

Victim64

The only thing I adjusted was the sag of the muffler and tip. I did this with metal pipe clamps on the rumber hanger. Just put them on and tightened them up to give it a lift.

Do you have the OBX, cause if you do it is strange that it would touch your bumper??

meccanoble

iTrader: (22)

ok, first of all, from what i know, anyone that buys obx catback more than likely has to have something done to the b-pipe so it doesnt hang down too low. I've showed pictures of my b-pipe millions of times and i dont want to search for it again but this top has been discussed too many times. Go to meineke or something and have them melt a part of the b-pipe so they can bend it upwards. Meineke installed my catback so i didnt pay extra to have them do that, only a tip but because they have to lift the car and waste like 5-15 minutes to do this they may charge u guys some dough. any case, thats the dilemma wit the bpipe and i believe others have this problem too, just not as bad. It wont be perfect fit becaused the b-pipe is bigger than stock and cant fit in the hole for stock b-pipe.

As far as muffler, the muffler is held by two rubber circle hoses located right behind the back bumper. You dont have to jack up the car to see it, if my 6'2" big bellied 270 pound **** can get under my car and see it, any of u can . normally the muffler is shifted to the left or right when installed, never seen it grinding on the muffler, its normally too far off the muffler but you take two hose clamps, the same one's used to hold your intake together, just smaller one's and you put them around the rubber hoses and tighten on either left or right side to get perfect look of tip on your muffler. Arrafio told me about this, i've done it a few others even with other catbacks have done this, no problems whatsoever.

I hope this answers all questions guys, sheesh...

i'd seen your pics, was just wondering since this one appears to be a slightly different design (maybe it's just the muffler though) if it was a little different than yours had been... thanks for the muffler tip though..

JAY!!!!!! Great to see you. I thought maybe you became too cool for the org.

Anyways I got my catback on last night with the AWESOME HELP of slizan99 We did my new ADDCO RSB as well. All I can say is 'OH MY GOD'. At this time my exhaust is loud as hell under WOT but sounds good under normal RPM. Everyone that has the exhaust has told me it quiets down alot and I believe it. I think its going to be perfect for me when it quiets down. It has this AWESOME melody when the intake kicks in and they are both going crazy. It is just too cool.

Also I cant understand why anyone had problems with the fitment of the exhaust. My tip lined up perfectly in the cutout which people had said was a problem. And I took a look at the Bpipe as far as it hanging down too low as some had said. I dont think that section of the B pipe hangs any lower than my RSB or the bottom of my muffler. They all hang decently low.

I think I like the RSB better than the exhaust. I tried a couple of turns and my rear end feels TAIL HAPPY!!! Its crazy...makes me forget I am driving a MAXIMA. I will be getting a FSTB in a couple of weeks to even up the handling characteristics of my car. I also have a UDP coming on Wednesday so I AM GOING ALL OUT as you can tell.

I HAD A GREAT TIME meeting Jake(slizan99) and he is definitely one cool dude. Very knowledgable and helpful. He helped me put on my exhaust, rear sway bar, and we hung out a bit and had some fun. OVERALL it was an awesome day and I thank him very much.

The only thing that isn't great with my exhaust is at this time I have lost the sleeper look. I was driving down Hwy 20 coming back from Jake's and I swear about 5-6 cars came out of nowhere trying to race me. Kinda cool but dangerous. I really gotta be careful nowadays. I got into town and got pulled over in the parking deck because the cop "heard me driving too fast". LOL>>>>ANYWAYs I am ONE HAPPY DUDE right now.

mecca: how much did minakee charge to install the obx?

i dont know if i should get megan or obx!! i love the way the greddy sounds and looks on maximas, which one will be more like a greddy. and which one ends up being cheaper. tax return is just begging me to be spent
