what is the best exhaust system for power,sound and price? I was looking at hks, greddy, pacesetter and the custom enterprises dual exhaust. tell me what you guys think.

 

Do some research for yourself. Stay away from pacesetter if you live in 4 season weather. Don't buy the CE dual exhaust... if you want duals get it custom done for a fraction of the price. GReddy is nice... I have that. Haven't heard anything bad about HKS. Read the stickies and listen to the sound clip stickies.

 

I say go with Greddy

 

Save up for Greddy, it's the best choice for exhaust =)

 

depends on how much you want to spend for little to no gains. I'd say get a muffler you like, and have an exhaust shop whip you up an exhaust. stick with 2.25-2.5 inch piping.

 

As i just told the other guy in the other exhaust thread... (so many of em)

And stickies... come on man its the top most sticky....

 

It's all a matter of OPINION ...

 

HKS only makes the rear section (axle back) for our cars

 

there's a bunch.. i personally run a greddy..

 

cattman catback... cant go wrong with it. i have it and love it

 

Whatever you choose, make sure you get a resonator for the b-pipe.

 

What a biased decision...

 

With a question like this ... who doesn't expect any bias ... for personal opinion.

 

What I mean by that is that he doesn't have a GReddy. His buddy a couple towns over does though...

 

i had a pretty bad experience with a custom catback..i asked the guy to make it quiet and it came out really restrictive..the resonators diameter on the inside was like i.5 inches and i got a borla oval shaped muffler that was really small...(its 2.5 piping) i dont know which of the pieces is causing the restriction but it makes the car feel slower and less responsive..i wish i bought a greddy.......just be careful what u ask for and u should be ok i guess... just my $0.02

 

So... why don't you just tell him exactly what you want then? That way if he screws up, you have something to yell at him about.

 

i told him what i wanted...something quiet and thats what he did..my fault i guess!...anyone know if the resonator can be causing the restriction cuz i plan on chaning the muffler anyway...maybe i should do both at the same time...

 

How do you know it's causing restriction? Dynos /// flow tests?

 

get a junkyard muffler and let them install it, its like about a 100 or less all together. hey it does the job.
just make sure they put on a 18inch glasspack resonator or sumtin

 

no dynos but response sucks and it felt better before i got it done..

 

A Borla muffler won't be restrictive. They have a HUGE racing heritage. The problem is the guy who made your exhaust prob didn't know what the hell he was doing. Maybe he used crush bends and that's what's causing the restriction? My piping is all mandrel bent and my '97 max is far more responsive than the '00 max I drove the other day. Felt like a 4banger compared to my car

 

stillen without bpipe loud so get something with resonator. well i like the loudness **** people off.hehe

 

Ive got a Stillen muffler for sale if anyone wants it. Check out my sig, im going GReddy

 

actually its all mandrel bent stainless steel..maybe its not the muffler...i dont knoe..i dont drive too many other ppls cars except my boys 99 camry v6 and that thing RESPONDS!..i wish my car would respond like that!

 

I'm happy with my Borla...my car definitely isn't slower since I had it installed. Since I got the muffler and cleaned my TB I'm getting much better gas mileage too.

 

Ive been looking for the Greddy sp2 for the gxe but site's only specify se models, from the cat back on the gxe and se are they the same? if, where's the lowest price? Sorry if this is off topic, but I'm not allowed to post new threads, what the deal with that? How's a noob going to get anywhere?

 

All models use the same GReddy SP2. I heard the SE was the only model they tested it on.

 

Black Maxima, Nice max.. Makes me want to buy coilovers.. But back to topic, Sp2 will fit any model, and it looks good and sounds nice for the price..

 

I found the sp2 on sportcompactonly.com for $483 anyone else know of another place with cheap or cheaper prices?

 

97-99 greddy sp2 are not in stock anywhere. i ordered mine and its been almost 2months still havent got mine

 

There's a GB going on.. Don't they have it in stock?
