sorry but right now i have no pics...i went with a n1 style muffler with a silencer, i had them take out the resonator and my car is still sooooo quiet...it's kinda nice though, anyways is all of that going to change when i put on my headers and hi flow cat?

 

You dont have a y-pipe do you?

 

not on it at the moment, i got the y pipe that came with the headers and it's not on the car yet...hopefully later this week,(whenever my friend lets me use a bay at his dad's shop) but i thought i get more sound out of it still since it's 2 1/2 pipe... it puzzled me!

 

wow ur the first person who has more miles on their car that i've seen here i got 165k right now and still running strong!

 

Yeah, still runs like a champ. Gets good gas mileage and so forth. I'm in the market currently for an '02-03.

About your exhaust,. it will get very noticeably louder with the y/headers combo. It may even become annoying, just opt for a resonator, often called a glass pack at most muffler shops 40 dollars installed. I have a custom cat-back, just the normal "hi flow turbo" muffler they put on older cars, no cat, and a y-pipe with a total of 36" of glass packs, one 8" and the other 28", because before I got those on, it sounded like complete a$$. Just a word of advice.

 

i appreciate it

 

N1 style? with a silencer? ...not my taste for a Max,but whatever you like.

I had a custom 2.5" cat-back with magnaflow 14829 with WSP y-pipe and test pipe and it sounded like butt,even with the resonator.When I went turbo,I put on a custom 3" with no cat and magnaflow muffler and its sounds a lot more solid.dont know how it changed.

 

which headers are you going with?

 

OBX... i bought them b4 i joined the org...haven't had time 2 install yet

 

People with custom exhaust...are the piping mandrel bend? I'm trying to price out a 3" catback mandrel bend.

 

Anyone have a custom bent b-pipe without a resonator? Hows will it sound with a 5th gen muffler?

 

Sounds a little raspy from 2k to 2400 rpms. After that all I hear is air swooshing by and the engine, no exhaust. I have the budget y, stock cat, 2.5" custom b and muffler from a '03 Max. No intake and no resonator. I had a cone intake and didn't like it - too noisy.

well i got a 2 1/2 pipe and i believe it cost me somewhere around 90$ installed.

 

N1 is a fart

 

wow when you slap on that y-pipe your car is gonna be LOUD... the N1 is loud in general, but with a y-pipe you better keep ear plugs in your car. Ne who congrats....

 

with the silencer on it right now it sounds nearly stock

 

i just bought a greddy catback exhaust, the street performance one...also got a budget y pipe and magnaflow high flow cat...was wondering if anyone had a sound clip of what this would sound like...im hoping good...not annoying..

 

unless you plan on going turbo, you shouldn't need a 3" pipe. You'll probably lose power if you opt for that. 2.5' pipe is sufficient for n/a applications.
