Looking for the best performing exhaust system mods available for a 4 gen maxima. From the exhaust manifold to the muffler. Looking to change out my whole exhaust system. Looked thru all the FAQ's and could find anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Not a matter of best, its what you want.

Go to the dyno page and read the results, do some homework and see which gives more power. . .yes your comparing different cars, but you're sking us, and we all have different cars.

And read what you typed a LITTLE more CAREFULLY. . . .

usmcbigguns

you want to answer my question or preach about doing a more thorough job when i search the FAQ's. At least brd98maxima is giving me info on what i am asking about.
If it helps i have a 99 auto.... looking for the most power.

I don't think that you will find an exhaust that will really yield big numbers. The exhaust for our cars usually show numbers at the dyno about 4-8hp (and that's pushing it).

He's lying thats why I was laughing because you cant have headers, AND a y-pipe together, nor 39 extra horses with that set-up, I believe he might have been being sarcastic. .

Cat backs do virtually nothing for our cars in terms of performance, 1-3 fwhp besides look good, and have different sound, y-pipe OR headers will help performance a lot, 12-15 or so fwhp, via our dyno pages, other than that, its all a matter of looks and sound. test pipe wont do anything but screw the environment up or make you lose a little low end, so dont get an aftemarket cat unless yours is clogged because hi-flow cats have yet to be dyno proven here, mufflers are all for sound/looks, not performance on 4th gens.

Look at Nealoc, fast as Christ Maxima, no cat-back. . .but yes y-pipe.

Thanx for the info. I found some headers and y-pipe deal on ebay from
xs-power.com . Has anyone dealt with these before?

y-pipe = from exhaust manifold to the cat-converter.
Headers = from engine head to cat-converter.

I'm a big big fan of Cattman. Here are a couple links to my car with Cattman headers, Cattman Cat-back, Injen intake and the MEVI.

Hahahahahahahahah. . . . . I have a 1997 SE R-tune GTiR


Cattman seems to make the best quality exhaust stuff, all stainless steel and their products fit great.

Steve, that setup sounds totally BADASS.
