Just picked up a 98 Maxima for my daily driver. I'm going to try and mod this car as little as possible, but that's not working out too well so far Anyhoo, I'm looking into exhausts, and the Blitz Realize TT and Apexi WS are top on my list. I want something that's quiet (as quiet as possible really) and not incredibly flashy. Anyone have either one? This will also probably be paired up with a Cattman Y-pipe as well. I have a Greddy SP on my other car with a header, and the roar gets a little old after awhile. I'm trying to stay away from droning as much as possible. I also noticed that most places list the Blitz as fitting 95-98, while the Apexi is listed as fitting the 95-96? Are the differences in the exhaust route significant?
Thanks!

 

i dont think u'll ever be quiet with an aftermarket exhaust

 

if you want something that is quite and not flashy, why even bother getting one? its not like you will get any power out of it anyways...maybe like 4hp, 5 if your lucky

 

Apexi WS i think would be your best bet

 

I guess I should rephrase that a little bit.....I would like a little more agressive sound, but not neccasarily a lot louder (like most aftermarket). I hate to relate it to another car, but almost like a 350z or G35. A little louder and agressive than most cars, but still refined and liveable.

That's what I'm leaning to as well, but I don't know how the exhaust routing is different between a 95-96 and a 97-98, if at all. If all it takes is some minor modification, that's not really a problem. It looks the closest to a stock setup as well.

 

well in that case. you could look at an OBX or warpspeed muffler. both are not that loud and look kinda stock. just a slightly larger tip and polished.

 

^thanks. I'll check those out, though I'm not much of a fan of OBX. Anyhoo, does anyone know if there are differences in the 95-96 and 97-98 exhausts?
