What catback exhaust do you have?

Just curious to see what the majority of you are running for a catback exhaust. If you chose other please specify what you have.
Thanks

So far, stock catback FTMFW! I haven't been able to find an aftermarket muffler tha sounds the way I want, they all sound to raspy and not deep enough, especially now that I have the CE y-pipe. If I was to get one, it would probably have to be either the SP2 or the Cattman- but I would definatley have atleast 2 resonators in there somewhere...

No need for two resonators. You seem to be looking for a sound you're not going to find.

I have cattman b-pipe and greddy sp1 muffler.

Cattman catback. It has a nice deep tone down low and roars up top!

other- obx catback.

can't complain, i paid less than $300 shipped for a stainless steel catback exhaust. sounds good to me, but it's a little bit on the loud side sometimes.

I got the cattman cat-back. It turned out to be way deeper than I thought it would be. The one thing I like about it is that there is no rasp at all. But my headers come in tomorrow so the sound should change dramatically.

Budget B pipe and rusty stock muffler.

My Budget Y and B has a *lub lub lub lub lub* sound thru the muffler @ idle. Other than that, its a very quiet ride. I enjoy driving around a lot more than I did when I had my Greddy SP on.

I have cattman b-pipe and greddy sp1 muffler.
Only reason I was thinking 2 was for the simple fact that if 1 quiets down this much, then 2 would lower the sound a little more maybe

I don't know, I just wanted something a little louder/deeper/freeerflowin than stock w/ NO rasp watsoever, and right now with all stock exhaust and just a CE y-pipe, it sounds kinda weird when idling and comming off the throttle w/o shifting(i.e decelerating)

Oh, and that Megan Racing exhaust sounded ok also

That is what I was thinking of doing, but I don't like the look of the dual-tip muffler.

custom:
+2.5 SS Budget Y (downpipe off my shortie headers)
+2.5 Stock Cat
+2.5 In/Outlet Turbo Type 2 Resonator
+2.5 Custom B from Lou's Custom Exhaust
+2.5 SS Polished Magnaflow Muffler
better w/o the resonator but it helped tone it down a good deal...loved the sound.

-2.5" piping
-Thrush perforated core resonator (28")
-Borla Pro XS muffler
-Warpspeed y-pipe
-Stock manifolds and cat

I have yet to find a setup that sounds as good as mine. It is the absolute epitome of anti-rice, and the only cat-back I have ever heard that didn't have at least some rice to it. I spent a lot of time on research to get it right the first time.

Unfortunately, no. I don't have a camera that can take sound. There are others with the same muffler on the board, but they're all 2.25" and don't have the same resonator or anything. You COULD listen to them to get a general idea, though. Mine is still deeper/throatier than theirs yet. Even then, their sound clips do not do the muffler justice, it truly sounds 10x better in person.

I had this muffler with a custom resonated 2.5" catback on my old maxima, but no y pipe. It honestly sounded great, but most catbacks do without a y pipe. I was afraid that the straight through design of the XS might make the car too loud, thats why i didn't get that muffler again....maybe i should get it along with a budget B....what do you think? I have a budget B/stock cat/dynomax superturbo(deeeeeep but i want louder).

I think it would sound alright. I LOVE this muffler.

I made a boo-boo! I voted that I had a Warpspeed catback, which is incorrect. I have a Warpspeed Y-pipe and Greddy SP2 catback, running stock manifolds and rear cat. I like it a lot! Throaty and not TOO loud. Growl without the obnoxiousness..

What I would like to see if there was a way that every 4th gen owner could just start a NEW thread listing their exhaust type. After we have whored up 5-6 pages, we could go on to intakes, then tires, then rims, then drops...

I mean, the opportunities are endless...

Stock headers, stock ypipe, stock b pipe, stock cat, stock piping and stock muffler. Sounds great with the stock intake, stock midpipe and USIM, and it's really cool when it falls flat on its face after 5k.
