Warpspeed has a package deal, One of their Y pipes + a Pacesetter Monza catback for 600 bucks. http://www.warpspeedperformance.com/nissan.htm (Scroll down)

Not a bad thing for the price, Just be warned about the Monza, It's been known to rust after time, get some BBQ paint and slap it around there. (I've read that helps, but I went for CMs Stainless exhaust)

Buying a Y pipe will (At least from what i hear, I have a stock Y) make things more raspy. Don't know what kind of sound you're looking for.


Check out this thead for some more info / sound clips

Here's my clip:

The ones off eBay are virtually the same as the CMs, just at a lower price. I personally got mine off eBay for $175 shipped.

You'll regret that. Someone posted a clip of almost that exact set up and got nothing but negative comments. It sounded ricey as hell.

How would an aftermarket y-pipe, a magnaflow high flow CAT, and a Bosal catback sound?

Bosal catback is just an aftermarket stock replacement. Imagine the stock tone a little louder and raspier.

Great to hear because I'll be putting that together tomorrow! The bosal catback is sitting in my garage while the warpspeed y-pipe and magnaflow high flow CAT just got put on my steps. I'll attach a video clip when I get it running.

From these Youtube clips the Greddy N1 knockoffs (or frikkin not greddy whatever goddamn company it is) sound nice and don't look like coffee cans. Anyone got good clips of noise from the interior? The only two I've found (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyJKVZHVlIc, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFAbD...eature=related) are from crappy recording devices and I doubt they're a good representation of the sound.

The Cattman 3" is $720. I don't know how much the spectrum costs, but I assume its $750 based off of Alexx0108's post:

If you got the dough then Greddy is a good choice, Cattman is good and if you really don't have a heavy wallet then Custom Maximas' Catback is the best set up for it's price. Anything else for cheap is gonna be garbage, I also hear Warpspeed has a good catback but have no personal experience with there catbacks.

To whoever said the Greddy SE exhaust is $750, obviously hasnt checked them. Greddy's site says $650

haha, im with alexx0108 on this one.

Greddy>Cattman

the price is similar (scored mine for $618, BNIB) and the Cattman is nearly the same price unless you step up to the 3"... Personally, the Greddy owns ALLLLL in looks and sound! Granted ive got mine coupled to the Cattman headers and fast cat but alexx0108's sounds good too! (I believe hes on headers too, just not cattmans)

so yeah, if your cheap, its what ev! GL and i hope you get a decent sound and build quality. if youve got the "scratch" to throw down, nothing better than the Greddy SE, and its very close cost competitor the Cattman 3"! But the looks arent as nice!

yeah, you only think you can get it cheaper! i literally bought it 3 times. first one paid for and then they messaged me saying itd be 3-4 weeks and coming from greddy... got a refund because i found another one that the people said they had. bought it, then they email me the next day saying sorry that they didnt and itd be 3-4 weeks till greddy delivers... then the third one i made sure he could put his hands on it! thats the one i got for 618. my first was $540...

sorry guys, a lil OT on that one. but yeah, had to clarify for some people that its not that easy to get a hold of!

Yeah I fuuckin' hat when they all advertise that they have da shyt in stock and then email yah a couple days later they don't. There all the same and deal with the same vendors, so if 1 doesn't have it or says it'll be a couple of weeks, usually the other sellers say same thang unless you get lucky and find a seller who actually carries product.
