Any interested in a High Quality 2.5 Inch exhaust?

i have been speaking for sometime now on with diffrent exhaust manufactures to see if anyone would be interested in making a quality system for the max. i have called , magnaflow,borla and brm. well magnaflow said no, as did borla and BRM said yes. S0 it has begun i have been corisponding with for sometime now trying to help him speed the process along. if you guys are interested just feel free to chime in and add your .02 cents.here is a link to their website www.brmusa.com. greg said the systems would be similar to the Se-R systems. also us 97-99 4th gen guys get the priority on this one...

not that many options out there, believe me i have been looking for sometime now. i have spoken to greg over at BRM and i trust his work. i have read the revie on their SE-R spec V system and it looks like it should be good. just trying to help the community but bringing another exhaust option to the table for us 97-99 guys.

Make sure it's stainless steel with good quality clamps. As long as he price it right, people will buy it. I think the option of having different size and style of the tip would boost sales even more.

Do they even use clamps? I'm pretty sure they're using flanges like most of the other system.

It should be ready by mid july, i have been on greg's A** to get this done and he is on it. i am going to trust his quality since i have seen and read about his systems for the SE-R spec V and other cars. he is also a nissan guy. as far as i know greddy's has no time frame as to when the SP2 will be ready for the 97-99's , talked to cattman and he seems to be out of stock and back ordered on his 4th gen exhaust and i would rather buy a ebay exhaust than buy from warpspeed and this is the ONLY worthwhile alternative to me. i just wanted to show greg that there is a huge interest and he needs to HURRY UP

They should have an option where you can buy just a b pipe or just the muffler or both. but the muffler should be able to hook up to a stock b. and the idea of being able to pick out your own exhaust tip would be clutch. this is the reason that i went with a universal muffler because i was able to get a 2.5 in exhaust tip instead of the that flashy 4 in stillen crap. b pipe should be resonated and the muffler shouldnt be a can, but should be a a straight through oval like the borla pro xs series or something like that. but of course these are all just my opinions and suggestions. oh yeah, stainless steel is good too....

I think i will wait

I am interested in getting exhaust for my car, but am picky about the sound. I want a deep sound at low end, and loud when i get on it. i think i will wait and see some feedback on this exhaust once it is complete.

Also if you guys need a maxima to test it on i would be more than happy to help you out!!!!

REMEMBER:

If you aint boosted....exhaust will NOT help you out performance wise as much as you think it will. (Especially b-pipe and muffler)

2.5 is just the piping diamater. stock is around 2.25. for our applications 2.5 is optimal but if your boosted 3.0 is needed.

oh ok... thats why the other day i read something like a 2.5" b-pipe bolted to a 2.25" muffler(stock) to help reduce the noise!

thanks a lot!

piping doesn't really have anything to do with noise , it deals more with the type of muffler your using. ie straight through coffee can = fart noise

2.5 is not optimal for our application. It's probably too much if you ask me. If someone made a mandrel bent 2.25" to replace the stock piping you'd see the same gains with better low end torque. There's only that one kink in the stock b-pipe that hurts exhaust flow a bit.

If it's mandrel-bent 2.5", well welded, 2 resonators, rust-proof piping (and I don't mean aluminized coating, because that DOES rust), fits perfectly, and a nice quiet muffler I would be interested. I know that's a lot to ask for, but I'm sure may people would agree that is the "perfect catback." Price is no concern to me, I'm sick of this Budget B / Apexi Dunk setup.
