well this weekend blackmaxx96 and I installed the WSP B-pipe and Stillen muffler on my max and it sounds awesome! (ill try to have sound clips sometime soon) absolutely no rasp, just nice and smooth - the quietest exhaust setup ive ever heard on a maxima (this is coupled w/ a WSP superflo and RT cat) question for you B-pipe owners: does your pipe sit somewhat low near the rear right wheel and is there a hanger that should be there? its raining like crazy right now or id get some pics up. thanks guys.

Well, I guess you don't have a y-pipe then as the stillen muffler is a rather raspy muffler. Put a y-pipe on and you'll want something else.

i said i have a superflo and its still very quiet

DAVE Sz

My bad, for some reason I took the superflo as a high flow cat, my mistake.

Oddly enough it looks like your B pipe is hanging a little low on the passenger side too just like mine.

I got a Greddy and Y-Pipe and it isnt to loud at all, although that might change when I put on the cat converter

bump. c'mon guys - anyone know about the height of the rear section of my B-pipe?

iTrader: (16)

Mine's pretty loud, I have the warpspeed super-flo and the GReddy SP2...

VQuick

iTrader: (17)

Well, I just installed a Greddy SP2 yesterday and that section of the B-pipe is hanging much lower than yours! I don't know what Greddy was smoking but I've got to fix this...

can we add a hanger here or something?

VQuick

iTrader: (17)

I wish it were that simple. Get down by your right rear wheel and try to push the B-pipe up. If it's like mine, it won't budge. It's held in place by the bolts on the flanges and you can't twist or move it without moving the whole exhaust system, which is attached to the engine. There's not much play. I've only thought of two options:

1. Get a flange/gasket adapter. I do not know if these exist, but basically, just put an adapter between the cat and the B-pipe in order to change the angle slightly so the B-pipe tucks up against the body.

2. Have an exhaust shop bend the pipe slightly. In my case, I think this would be a bit costly because my B-pipe is mandrel-bent stainless steel.

Trust me, I will be looking into these options since I'm not at all happy with how my B is sitting. I'll let you know what I find out.

which Bpipe do you have that sits low? .. im looking to get a Bpipe but not sure which one...I have the wspY but now I need a Bpipe...

SDot82

iTrader: (2)

I have a stock b-pipe and it sits low so I think it's just the design.

C MAX

iTrader: (4)

wow who gives you guys this info. i had a stillen y pipe and b pipe and exhaust and its not loud at all or raspy. its the quietest smoothest exhaust i have owned. i even got a ticket thrown out for exhaust after getting it tested and passed noise pollution test. i now currently have the stillen y pipe and greddy for a more deeper growl and that still isnt that loud. i think people just hate stillen because of there prices.

NCSU_MAX

iTrader: (36)

prob true - as i was told by the guy i bought it from the stillen muffler is one of the best if not the best muffler you can buy for the max. theres a reason it costs so much. idk man - i just heard several people tell me it was raspy - definitely not the case at all.

C MAX

iTrader: (4)

absolutley i got rid of mine because it was too quiet, almost like stock with a tiny tiny growl. stillen recommended the greddy because it sounded a little more aggresive which i still have on the car today.

blackmaxx96

iTrader: (23)

I think the reason some people say that is because it looks like stillens new muffler design is the "straight through" design....Grant, as far as that B-pipe situation, I think I have an idea that would help out. Remember that exhaust hanger I gave you? We could attach it right there, and find a point to connect it somewhere under the car back there, and make a bracket to mount it up, and you'de be good to go. We could probably do it in chapel hill this weekend or something if you wanna help me put on a RSB I just ordered . Glad your enjoying the exhaust man!

LOL....Apexi has the best sound....

blackmaxx96

iTrader: (23)

Yeah, I've never heard the apexi exhaust.. I've been reading up about people swearin about the WSII mufflers and what not... but from what i've heard in person on other maximas, from the SP2 and everything.. to me, the Stillen sounded much better....

He told you that to sell you a 300 muffler...

But back to your b-pipe question, I have a cattman and it hangs that low.

blackmaxx96

iTrader: (23)

No actually I didn't.... I gave him an incredible deal, because he's a very good friend of mine.. and I told him that when I had it on my car, before I even thought about selling it... and he paid less than 300 for the cat, catback, and muffler.... All less than 3 months old.
Thanks,
Michael

Keep me posted on the issue with Greddy B Pipe issues. I definitely want to get that taken care of. I tried to lift that section of the b pipe, and it pushed the muffler up against the underbody of the car. I was also considering cutting a few inches of the pipe off, and re welding it. I dont know if that will ruin the integrity of the pipe or not, but it definitely needs to get fixed.

blackmaxx96

iTrader: (23)

If you get it welded, it won't reduce the integrity of the in any way.. unless you get a crappy welding job or something....

NCSU_MAX

iTrader: (36)

hey mike - the reason i posted was bc it looked lower when i got home than when we installed it. I fixed that one hanger and it helped alot but i was just wondering if it was still sitting low. It sounds great! - im very pleased with it. thanks again mike for such a great deal. ( for an awesome org member). definitely let me know if I can help you w/ that sway bar - which one did you end up getting?

blackmaxx96

iTrader: (23)

cool, so you got that hanger situation taken care of... good to hear!

oh, and Midas is welding an O2 bung for me tomorrow morning

blackmaxx96

iTrader: (23)

awesome... thank God everything worked out, man.. woohoo!!

VQuick

iTrader: (17)

Sweet, are they making an entirely new bung? How much are they charging you? And is your B-pipe stainless or not (stainless is harder to work with and they would probably charge more to weld a bung in stainless)? I'm probably gonna have a shop relocate my O2 because it's sticking down right now so I appreciate your info.

NCSU_MAX

iTrader: (36)

I believe it is aluminized steel. The reason im having it done is bc I put a B-pipe made for a 96 on my 98 so naturally i was missing an O2 bung right behind the cat. I let you know the pricing tomorrow when I get it back. I think they already have a bung and theyre just going to weld it in place.

NCSU_MAX

iTrader: (36)

sweet - i was in and out of Midas in 10 minutes.
Vquick - it cost me $20 for the bung and the welding.
