hey guys, im planning on getting a catback exhaust within the next two weeks... and ive narrowed it down to two. the greddy sp2 (http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...tegoryID=42215) or the obx type-h (http://www.speedstash.com/obx_type_h.html) i am planning on adding a y-pipe once i get the money for that. i want my exhaust to be loud when i push it, but not too loud when im just cruising around. is the greddy really worth the extra 150-200 dollars?

 

People have said that they love the newer Greddy Sp2, deep and throaty, while the obx type H has been highly recommended as well. Obx type H will need little mod to get it to fit correctly (hangers, i believe) but overall i would go for the greddy.

 

I just got my GReddy for like $488 shipped and to me its worth it, but then again I never really heard any other cat-backs on a Maxima before so I just bought it but its not loud at all so if thats what your looking for dont get it because its only a slight drone at 2k-3500 RPM's and after that its all engine noise. But that is also what I was looking for.

 

had a greddy for sometime now, all i can say is i just smoked some dude on the road earlier today

 

is obx type H the quietest in the market?

 

Yeah right, it's an OBX. How can it be quiet?
BOMT697, if you smoked a guy, the greddy had nothing to do with it.

 

is there a quiet catback?

 

i have the obx-h. i've never had the greddy so i can't compare.... but if money is an issue, the obx is quite a deal. i paid 265 shipped for mine, it's stainless steel, and it sounds good. a lil loud under load up until 3k. fitment isn't perfect either, part of the b pipe hangs a little low, but for the price i paid, i'm happy.

 

apexi ws, but if you have a y-pipe a quiet exhaust does not exist unless you use oem mufflers

 

Yeah there's a quiet catback exhaust, have you ever heard of the Apexi World Sport exhaust.

 

here go to www.wholesalehyperformance.com and go to exhaust and select apexi world sport and you'll find the catback for the 95-96 Maxima

 

I don't understand why you made 2 posts right after the other?

 

Yea, that extra 2 hp must've felt like a freakin rocket when you shot pass him.

i've always wanted to go with an apexi ws, but im not sure of the fitment issues it would have w/a 97.

 

hehehe..............

 

naw man greddy catback gives at least 20whp!! its like WOAH and im like WOAH and then its like WOAH. i have seen posts about the obx type-h not being the best of quality...i would go with the greddy or just get a custom job.

 

i need to keep y-pipe stock. apexi ws appears to be only for 1995 - 96.

do you folks know another quiet exhaust in the market?

 

i was asking the same fitment issues on 97 have anyone tried ?

 

Here it goes again. It's one inch shorter, meaning you will be burning your bumper unless you make it longer by an inch or so. You will also need to put an O2 sensor bung in the b-pipe right after the cat since the 95-96 max has them in the CAT.

 

i knew the story about the greedy but not for the apex thanks

 

dont worry about the fitment issues any muffler shop can easily and properly fit it

i love the apexi ws it is the quietest after market catback system i have ever heard

 

woo, im diggin up an old thread! didnt want to start a new one soo. But i want to get exhaust after winter. How does the SP2 sound with a y pipe. My mom has the Greddy Evo and it sounds good. Its very quiet past 3k. I want mine a little more throaty then hers. I dont want to hear it 5 miles away but i want to hear it. Would the SP2 with a y pipe sound good? does anyone have videos.

Thanks guys

Sean

 

shouldn't be bad at all... i30mike has the sp2 & y and so does happyricefob... they like theirs...

 

So your mom is in her 20's? she has the greddy evo?

 

which exhaust would you think is a better make and give better hp or is it all the same thing...iam lookin into an exhaust also and it would be between the 2 that were named..but the obx would be this one. http://www.performance-auto-shop.com...ex9758-2y.html

 

how come the greddy sp2 won't fit on the 97-99 max?

 

Because it won't. Do something about your sig or it's getting reported to the mods.

 

i've got cattman headers and a cold air, i was wondering which catback exhaust would sound deepest, and have the most power?

 

i have greddy sp2 for few months now...i've put about 15,000k on it already. it was sorta quiet in the first 1,000mi, but after it breaks in it's really deep. above 3,000rpm it becomes really loud, but not ricy.

compare to my old custom catback w/ magnaflow SS muffler, it sounds so much better.

 

i have the obx type H and overall i like it.....good price but had some fitment issues....if ur low on $ get OBX but if not i definatly recommend the Greddy like Happyricefob

 

she is actually in her 40s. Im 17 so idk how she could be 20?? Her stock exhaust fell off at the flange and my dad found a great deal on it. She doesnt mind it really. Its kinda weird that my whole house has maximas. My dad has 20% tint and clears, and a berk intake! lol my mom has an intake and the catback. We Roll HARD!

happyfobrice, do you have a ypipe?

 

I have the SP2 and a Ypipe. I like it.

 

Happy, your b-pipe is hanging too low. It's supposed to be tucked into the tunnel like the stocker.
