I have been searching the internet for an hour each night, for the past week. I am still looking for an exhaust where the muffler and tip are near stock looking, I am trying to avoid the shiny mufflers. I just want the average person that doesnt know about Maximas to look and think stock. I want a really low sound too. I am just getting older and my gf and son are getting embarassed with the loud sound.

I was looking at RS-R but I have not been able to get feedback or see pics of them mounted or even hear the sound of it, so it is too much coin to drop for not knowing what I am getting.

If any of you can help me out it would be appreciated. I was thinking of just getting a WSP 2.5" B Pipe with their muffler, whichever I get I want the B Pipe at the same time so the tip sits nice and straight.

Thanks in advance.

 

apexi ws i have it and ti is not loud at all!

 

No offense to anyone, cause I remember hearing the sound on Brian Vs supercharged 97 and it was sweet, but isnt the ApexWS and "ricer looking" muffler?

 

greddy sp2. not loud at all during cruising, and deep tone between 1.5k-3k. muffler is 4.5" which is not too big or small, and it's not rice at all.

 

i am in the same boat,.... looking for a nice exhaust but dont want it looking like a civic or sounding like one.. want it to look basicly stock, and have a nice low rumble or growl to it.. i am looking at getting from the y pipe-back all replaced.

warpspeed ypipe, and maybe there bpipe and res, high flow cat and need a good muffler and tip to make it look stock

 

Dynomax super turbo, looks stock from the outside, doesnt sound stock. Very deep and it starts to quiet down after 3500rpm or so.

 

dont get teh warpspeed y-pipe, its 100% bees in a can. get the cattman or the coustom enterprise one

 

I have been running them on both of my Maximas with no problems, I even have one of the first ones ever made on my 3rd gen, there new flex sections are pretty crazy also.

 

what else do you have with your exhuast though?

 

On my 92 I run WSP Y, WSP Cat, Custom B Pipe 2.75" with Dynomax Muffler.
On my 97 I run WSP Y, WSP Cat, Custom B Pipe 2.75: with Magnaflow Muffler.

 

i heard that the high flow cat makes a big differencein sound

 

IMHO go with the Greddy Sp catback.... you wont even know its there unless your radio is off and you have all the windows rolled up.

Ant

 

My apexi WAS nice and soft. Not untill I installed WS y pipe making it pretty loud at times..

 

I have the warpspeed and it has never remotely made that sound.

I had the warspeed y - high flow cat - magnaflow res- 2.5'' bpipe - magnaflow muffler~ this muffler looked stock, but has a very low tone to it and you couldn't hear it after 3.5 because the intake would drown it out. Very good setup.

 

i really don't think you have have slients without performance. They kinda go hand in hand. I've found that a nice setup to have is to go to a good muffler shop and have them custom make you one. My friend got it done. pretty fair prices, stock looking but its black instead of shinny steel. But the performance is there.

 

anyone have anything to say good or bad about the OBX catback for 95-96? i'm looking at either the OBX or budget/custom 2.5" B-pipe with Dynomax super turbo muffler. please critique my choice as you see fit. looking for lower throatier tone.

(for reference, i have Budget Y and stock cat)

 

reminds me of the pacesetter. any rust yet?
how much $$?

 

I didn't think RS-R had an application for Maximas? I've heard RS-R ExMags dont give the best gains but if you want near stock quiet and stock looks theyre the way to go.

 

which muffler do you like the sound of?

i hate to sound like a broke record but have you considered the 5th gen VC muffler?

 

its a universal application..

Just go back to stock donald.. the car is just a daily driver, besides you won't loose much by going back to stock..

 

you forgot about the 2.25" reverse mounted resonator, and the crush piping..

 

Try a 2k5 muffler. Permitting it fits and all.

 

cattman b pipe, and stock muff should work too..

 

Damn, I forgot.

 

I am going to try and put on a setup that will last a long time. So it would need to handl 3.5 swap or some boost, when I get done with my boat and get around to that.

 

I think the Magnaflow is more quiet.

I have a 5th gen VC muffler for my 3rd gen. I am really picky and since the 4th gen came with a single tip stock, I want to stick to a single stock looking tip, to fit nicely in the bumper hole.

 

Donald have you seen the cattman b pipe? or any of their exhaust systems? Quality is top notch. When will you be getting ready to boost the 4th gen? I don't think any time soon, so why not stick with OEM?

 

naw, I havent seen his stuff.

You are right, not anytime soon but I dont want to have to change it again in the future. I dont have the stock stuff still.

 

wrong

WSP Superflo Y-Pipe, RT Cat, WSP B-pipe and magnaflow resonator, Stillen muffler. One of the quietest, smoothest, best sounding setups ive heard. (when my exhaust isnt leaking)

 

By Stillen muffler you mean Magnaflow? I think that is what I have. It was purchased at Stillens open house with a Stillen tip that is very rice...I could probably live with the muffler, if the tip was changed. hmmm...

 

no, its a Stillen Muffler. Brand new i believe its like 300 some. i got it used.

 

i was thinking about an budget y and stillen b-pipe witch i hace and an bosal factory replacement with an 3.5" tip. how does that sound. stillen b-pipe sounds nice with the rest factory already, but want an more deeper tone. more growl.

 

how much are you willing to spend for an exhaust donlad?

I am thinking like $200 for just the b pipe.

3" is overkill IMO. I am going 2.5" and when I add more power just get a cutout.

 

what y pipe sounds best with the oe muffler?
and
what sounds best with a straight through design muffler?
i have both and really want a y pipe
has anybody got better gas mileage with a y pipe?

 

what do you all think about the Apexi WS or Greddy SP2? sorry to steal your thread..

 

Do they even make the Apexi WS anymore? I've been looking around like hell to find one.

 

i still say buget/cattman b pipe and stock muffler..

 

when you guys put your y-pipe on did you drive around with just the manifolds, i wanna do that when i go for a drive, see how loud it is, ill video tape it too

 

I hate reading these exhaust posts. It makes me sad because I can't drive my Maxima until my Greddy SP2 comes and I install it. Which will be either tomorrow or Friday. BOOOOHOOOHOO
