280$ for cat back w/ magnaflow muffler
Just called muffler shop couple blocks from my house.
They said they will make full SS mendrel bent 2.5" cat back for 280$ with labor and magnaflow muffler. Tax included!! What do you think?

If you want performance, don't get it. If you want 
sound .. get it ... IMO, any aftermarket cat-back on a Maxima sounds ricey... but that's just IMO ..
I would save my $280, get a y-pipe if I didn't already have one ... or a 00VI ...
It's a good price for the material they're using and mandrel bent but not wroth it, you could get a non mandrel bent Aluminized one for less and still have the same sound/performance ......... with tax

The greddy sp2 and apexi WS catbacks are almost as quiet as stock.
Nmex is right; throw a resonator on it.

Anyway, point of this thread is not the way headers sound, but better yet if that's a good price for that set-up.
Yes it is, but get a resonator with it ...

He's talking about Dino's Muffler. I've dealt with them hundreds of times and they are great people. I DOUBT he told you they do mandrel bends though. I've asked them before and everytime they say that mandrel bending is available anywhere around here. Plus they have a crapload of crush bent tubing on the walls of the shop, none is mandrel.

A buddy of mine that has a 3" exhaust, no cat or resonator with a Magnaflow on his G20, its loud but sounds very good. He aslo has a SR20DET so thats where the nice sound come from. On Maximas, no aftermarket muffler really sounds good to me. The only exhaust that I thought sounded nice was Ceasar's. I have heard a lot of good things about Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers but I have yet to hear on in person or on a video.
