Looking into getting a catback for my 98 Maxima. I don't want to spend the 450-500 for a type name brand but if it's really worth it then I will. Whats your opinions on different priced catback exhausts and the brands?

 

eBay or CustomMaxima are the way to go. Cheap and high quality. I personally went eBay, got my catback for $179 shipped and couldn't be happier.

 

I roll with a custom catback from my local exhaust shop, ran me $350 out the door with a magnaflow muffler.

 

Megan Catback, love mine

 

custom mandrel bent 200$ at local shop.

 

Can you please PM me the name or address of that shop? Great price for mandrel bent.

LOL, I've actually been to that shop. He installed my o2 boss for my wide band. Has an ugly dog.

 

hes a cool dude. Helped me out with my broken y pipe stud for free.

 

I would go custom 2.5in for that amount....well I did go custom lol, but yea custom FTW!

 

me personally, i went with an ebay exhaust and hated the stupid can it came with so i cut it off and had midas weld a magnaflow on now i think it looks and sounds great not to loud but when you get on it you KNOW its there

 

what about deciding 2.5'' or 3''?

 

If you are FI, then go 3", if you are N/A go 2.5". If you plan on going FI soon, then go with the 3" now, but if you don't plan on going that far with mods, then 2.5" is good.

 

yup

OP,

I hear a hi-flow cat is good too. Its not a test pipe but an actually hi flow cat with catalyst. but IMO if u dont have y-pipe, u shd prolly do that first if u have the cash and yur state permits it. Mine is too finicky

 

once again i am forced to point out that we have a SEARCH feature on this forum, google also works!! kthxbye
