Which one would you chose?

I have been looking for an exhaust system for a while now and decided that I really like the look of the dual exhaust from Custom Maxima. The only problem is I don't know if it has any gains and from what I understand the Greddy catback is the best system on the market. So I guess my question is, is the Greddy so much better than the CM that I should go with that one, or will I be ok with the dual exhaust system?

Don't expect huge gains from an exhuast. The reason one will get a catback is mostly for looks and sound, it doesn't do that much performance wise, unless you're pushing boost and have 3" piping.

If you buy the custommaxima one, you'll have to buy a new bumper. If you get the greddy, no bumper needed, but if I were you, I'd wait for the new SP2 from greddy.

It's just an improved version of the SP. Try searching for "greddy SP2" in the search bar.

you dont have to buy a new bumper, i guess you can just cut out the hole on the other side of the bumper. The custommaxima one is for mostly looks, the greddy is for mostly performance. dual piping is so rare on a max, only a selected few (maybe less than 15) on here have it. If you have a y-pipe, catback will give u little gains, maybe 5-8? and better flow.

I heard the sp2 was similar to the greddy out now except its ALL stainless steel (sp1 is only stainless muffler) and its supposed to be much quieter. A lot of people complain about greddy being too loud although i dont think it is but this is even quieter.

WS is one of the best period. The custommaxime exhaust, rip off, can be made for $300 at a local exhaust shop...

i wouldnt wait... its not improved, just has more stainless steel. It drones at certain RPMs, and still costs a lot. i would go for the WS or the OBX (type B is my preference) instead
