If you ever plan to upgrade to an aftermarket exhaust now's the time. Talk to the shop guy and see what he's willing to do. I had an accident and I need a couple new tires and rims so I said f*ck it, I was going to replace them in a month or two anyway and did it then. The money that the shop didn't spend to replace those rims and tires, the guy put towards my $500 deductible and I didn't have to pay a penny. (It was like $480 and the guy said screw the $20. Probably because I let him keep the old rims and tires, worth more than $20...) See if they'll take the money and a little extra that you'll throw in to cover whatever difference there may be and put a new exhaust, or maybe just a Y-Pipe (considered the single greatest mod for the Maxima) with the stock cat and muffler.
