I just got a custom cat-back installed with an xlerator muffler. It sounds ok, but rasps alot. is there such thing as a muffler break-in period? sounds stupid, but i think i remember reading this somewhere. Only way to get rid of rasp would prolly be a resonator right? i have headers/y, and now a catback, with stock cat.

Muffler break in? I've been through many man mufflers/exhausts/etc, never had a break in period. Aside from the distinctive smell it gives off when first driving it, nothing different in sound.

Some people claim that Flowmaster mufflers break in, but thats just people mistakeing break-in for rotting from the inside out.

Resonator will get rid of the raspiness.

give it a few days, the raspyness will calm down IMO. mine did

I remember mine was raspy and sound like **** when i came home. About a month later when the pipe was full of the black stuff...Sounded totally different....after that day I never worried about cleaning my muffler ever again. BTW i'm runnin a magnaflow muffler.

Sorry, I'm a newb and don't have enough posts to start my own thread, so I thought i'd add a quick question...

Can a Megan racing catback for the 95-96 Maxima fit the 96 I-30 (Part #CBS-NM95)? I've been looking for answer for a couple of days, and all signs point to yes, but I need an definite answer from someone more knowledgable or experienced in this...

Thanks again!

YES Cat back

Cool, I just ordered it. Should I install it myself?
