One of the anchors which holds the exhaust pipe is broken and the bottom of the pipe is been hitting something. I had tied it up before but I notice the change in sound and know for fact that i have hole in it. What should i change the exhaust with? I dont want anything fancy since my wife drives the car now. Should I change the exhaust or just the pipe after the cat? its a 95 GLE with 93k miles. Please help..thanks

heres a site with all sorts of options.

If you have your exhaust falling apart (from rust most likely), it probably would be a good idea to replace at least from (including) cat all the way back.

 

My exhaust is also falling apart. I've read countless exhaust threads and i'm looking to use an aftermarket y-pipe, cat and b-pipe, but use a stock muffler or possibly a dynomax. I'm looking for the quietest setup possible (as close to stock as possible) within $600. What are my options?

 

It's all about the B-pipe resonator. If you have a good one or the stock one a lot of after market mufflers are going to be almost as quiet as stock. If you don't have a resonator it will be much louder.

 

get greddy sp2...

 

he speaks the truth

 

the greddy sp2 doesn't include the Y-pipe and the cat does it?

 

not really. i have a 2000 resonator with a flowmaster deltaflow 40 series muffler and warpspeed y pipe and it is way louder than stock. if you have a aftermarket y pipe, any muffler other than stock is going to be loud.

BTW, Flowmaster DeltaFlow 40 on a maxima with warpspeed 2.5 y sounds AWESOME

 

Go With Stillen Or Sp2

 

Cattman You fools!

Go Cattman, - Close this thread omg.

 

go with cattman if you are rich, if i had the money i would, but mine sounds great

 

for 600 just get budget y-pipe and b-pipe with the resonator and be done with it.

If you want a catback system get the sp2 and that should leave some money for the y-pipe.

 

maybe a 4" i always think those look good on maxima's



not the best pic

 

From the engine block ---Anything equal length(y&/or headers) -- test pipe w/ o2 bung for tuning--Cattman b pipe + stock rear section.

 

got me beat on sound, my opinion,

ebay 4" exhaust-maybe a greddy if you can find it $40-60 with shipping
y-pipe- $230 with test pipe
mineke- custom exhaust 2.25 or 2.5 maybe $250-320

total- approx. $600

sound- not the quietest, but not the loudess,
recommendation- shop around

 

that sounds good then. But what about the full 2.5 system from warpspeed? That includes the y-pipe, cat, a resonated b-pipe and a "Q" quiet muffer. Is that any decent?

 

i got my custom pipe loacally (nashville, tn) from the cat to the muffler and it only cost me $50. add in the magnaflow race series muffler ($180), ebay headers ($300) and my exhaust sounds great at $500. rather spend more on the muffler than the custom piping IMO.

 

I was just looking for OEm replacement, I dont want crazy sound or anything like that. What would be closest to OEm muffler/pipe? I dont think i need to change cat.

 

my magnaflow looks like a stockie on steroids. they have a street versiion that is very quiet.

 

4'' tip? You nuts?

 

did mines look bad?

 

my magnaflow is 4"

 

Hey jltibbs, I think I have seen your car before. I live down in Smyrna and I think I saw it at an Advance AutoParts. But it had G35 18's on it though. So maybe it wasn't you.

 

Videos????

 

get a catback with budget b-pipe and 5th gen muff. i heard this was a good setup.
