You can get a custom b pipe made, non-mandrel bent at most muffler shops for about 120. The y-pipe would be smarter to get from Warpseed or someone who manufactures them

You should be able to have the custom b-pipe bent and installed for you for like $50-$75. I got it done for $50 installed. I had already bought a 5th gen muffler, and then I just had him weld the new b-pipe to the stock resonator....that I left on....and weld it to the new muffler.
It is easy, and cheap.

Then, just get a y-pipe from someone that makes them a lot more than a muffler shop. ie.....Warpspeed, Cattman, Budget....

yeah, really quiet.
If you are not familiar with Maximas, you would never know it was not the stock exhaust....until I get on it WOT. Then, it growls a good bit.
