holy Maxima exhaust!
I am the original owner, and since I was doing the oil and tire rotation, I decided to take a peek as to why my exhaust is rattling.
The fact that the rear muffler is all coming apart in its outer layer doesn't seem to matter. It seems pretty structurally sound despite its appearance.
Amazing that 105k does all that to the exhaust, which is not cheap.
One of the biggest problems with maxima, imho, is that the integrity of its parts is no better than a Sentra (don't agree, look-up exhaust parts for Nissan showing all models). That's why it's not a car that offers value. But yes, it does have a fairly good motor that will probably last forever.
- sleeve behind flexible pipe in front of cat is broken
- bracket at front of cat is broken
- bracket at rear of front muffler is broken

I have 62k on mine...Take a look at my cardomain page, and see for yourself what new england weather can do to an exhaust in 8 years.
