Well, state farm is coming to look at the muffler damage tomorrow. I was rear-ended back on June 30th. I had to wait for a while until there was an opening due Katrina destroying many body shops and the open ones having long waiting lists (3 months). I just got it back this week. Besides a damaged bumper, the reinforcement beam was bent into a V shape; the body people said I was hit a lot harder than initially thought. Anyway, my muffler needs to be replaced since the impact also tore off one of the hangers, making a hole in my muffler. It's a Greddy muffler that I picked up 4 years ago at a local motorsports shop. The muffler sounded nice but always had a drone. What muffler should I go with that will eliminate this drone but still sound mean? I have a budget y-pipe and custom b-pipe with a high flow cat. Thanks for your input. Yes, I've searched and looked at stickies.

 

magnaflow is a personal opinion.

 

Apex'i World Sport if you can find one. The HKS as well.

I know you said you went throught the stickies but did you listen to a good bit of the clips?

Also, the Cattman muffler is designed with a y-pipe in mind.

 

So the cattman is the best bet with my y-pipe for performance and sound? I like the sound of the cattman the best. Would I need to get the whole Cattman catback or just the muffler? I also like the HKS but there's only one sound clip of it on a dyno. I also wish there were more sound clips of the apexi. State farm gave me $246 for the muffler. Too me, the cattman sounds the meanest so far based on the clips.

 

I love my cattman cat-back but if your looking for less drone then the cattman is not for you. I also didn't feel any gains on the butt dyno. If it's just the sound you want then just go with a muffler. When I replaced the b-pipe after I had just the muffler on the car it got a lot louder.

 

You could get mine, but you may have problems finding it.

 

I had a Stillen muffler on my 96 Maxima and it sounded very nice.

BTW: My Stillen muffler is for sale

 

the stillen muffler is the way to go
