set a price limit and find the best that suites your taste closest or under that budget.

The GReddy definitly sounds better in my opinion, but its by far to expensive. You can find a good catback for alot cheaper, but you get what you pay for usually.

Just pack sand in the pipes before you have them bend it. That should keep most of the kinks out of the pipe during bending.

www.hopupracing.com has the GReddy SP2 for 470 with free shipping. i couldnt find the Apexi WS anywhere. be careful where u buy. i asked numerous places that listed the WS and when you ask its just the muffler. Be sure you ask and double check what you are buying. but i recommend hopupracing. has great customer service and ships FAST.

I ordered the WS from ProSteetOnline in July and they delayed it and delayed it intill Augest. they wouldnt refund my money and i had to call visa to fill a report. finally got the money after visa threatened then. i dont know about any1 elses experience with Pro street online but mine wasnt very good.

good luck

-Sean

look at the pics from that thread. it appears it fits perfect

also fits 96-99 I30 really well

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=348188

i guess the most diffucult part is that the correct size o2 bung needs to be welded on the b pipe, which is no big deal. besides that it seems like a 100% bolt on

probably the 97-99 greddy sp2 has the correct size o2 bung. just from reading around a bit it seems like the length of the 95-96 greedy sp2 fits the exhaust cutout on the 97-99 bumper flush just like the oem. apparently the 97-99 designed sp2 sticks out farther.

i ordered a 95-96 sp2 for my 99 se from steve at sportcompactonly for $475 shipped. i should be recieving it friday sep. 23 and will be installing it within a few weeks.got kind of sick of waiting for the 97-99 version that nobody has and is always on backorder. my car and o2 setup is identical to the one pictured in the thread. it seems to fit that car perfect, so really i dont see any reason why it woulld not fit my 99 perfect

contact steve at southwestautoworks.com he'll give you a good deal for the sp2.


I believe the apexi is a bit too quiet for my taste; its a step up from oem. I have the greddy sp2 and it sounds great.
