what do you guys think Greddy sp2 or Cattman exhaust which is better?

I know that performance wise these two systems are about the same. I have been looking around the org i dont hear much talk about Cattman exh mostly Greddy as far as apperance which do you guys think is better ? I like the looks of the sinlge ss pipe that Greddy has but from the pic Ive seen of the Cattman it looks like its a double exh tip which i think is so ugly. Also there has been much talk of the sp2 having fitment issues which is turning me away from Greddy. Any feed back guys ? Anyone have pics of the Cattman installed?

If you cant find your answer in here then I dont know what to say. Your best bet would be cattman. Cattman is a single tip. Pics show a dual tip but that for 5th gens.

It seems lately all I have been hearing is the SP2 does not fit well at all.

Love the Greddy SP2!!!

No fitment issues other than B-pipe hanging down 1" low.

I have an SP2 and it sounds amazing with a y-pipe and intake. aggressive tone under throttle but nearly stock quiet while cruising. and fitment was fine after a little work on my 96.

my fotment was actually perfect when i installed mine. i hear the exhaust the most when i start the car and between 2-3k rpm. after 3k rpm all i hear is the vq engine.

GReddy is hella played out in the Honda scene, I'd hit up Cattman if I were you.

To me, the cattman muffler looks out of place on a maxima. Greddy Sp2 makes the max back look so sexy.. I heard how mine sounds while my friend drove, it gave the car a nice aggressive tone, not mad loud, and not raspy. Just right, like those g35's.. but more agressive

first of all this is a maxima forum.
second of all played out? maybe its because it is a great product and everybody that has one only gives thumbs up for it.

anyone who knows their stuff knows the cattman is 10x better, but the Greddy does a damn fine job for quite a bit less. But that b-pipe and o2 sensor bung suck @ss so I went with cattman and ate $625..

Oh and this thread has been reposted so many times I think I'll take the way out instead of arguing points lol.

BTW: "mine fit great but.... or after the shop"..... means it doesn't fit.

I have sp2, I say if you have the money go for it. Sounds so nice when you go wot, and sounds quite when you are crusing in highway around 65 mph.

Greddy is built to last and the sound can't be beat! The welds are perfect and so is the finish...JMO

Main reason I didn’t get the Apexi, not full stainless steel..

NYC winters would destroy that purple powder coated aluminized steel b-pipe.

would you happen to know if the ex tip of the Cattman extents passed the bumper like the Sp2 does on the 97 99 set up? I like the exh tip to extent pass the bumper a little.
