Interested in a 3"SS for a 4th Gen

 

also interested in a 3" SS for 4th gen. turbo to be done soon.....how soon can these be done?

 

I understand things come up and you've had some hard times lately, but it's going on two months since you received the catback. You're going to lose potential buyers and **** off MES if you haven't already. Get it done already...

 

I'm back Now along with my family and I'll nail this NOW!!!! You're right Wiz!

 

Update?

 

Trail fitting looking good....Everything looks like it's gonna clear the rear control arms and rear axle beam with no problem....Gotta finish cutting up old 1 piece 2.5" catback...Will post pics Saturday...

 

In for pics?

 

So hows the wait gonna work out if these fit properly?

 

Any word? Really interested in picking one up

 

ok...so no word? Wondering if the 3" BRM catback for the 5th gen would fit with slight modification....maybe i'll go that route

 

Pics coming power outages are killing us due to all the rain and flooding will post pic and everything (tubing) looks like it's dead on guys....

 

I could use a 3" exhaust.

 

Here are the pictures camera had bad battery:

Old crimped bent 2.5" catback For Sale $100

 

The MES catback is bent perfectly and I'm presently waiting on mufflers to arrive with my Father-in-law health scare we weren't home much so I couldn't order anything cause didn't know if I was gonna be here or there.... The hanger support rods are thick as hell and I may need a Oxy-acetylene torch to bend them....I'm going with the 2.5" x 4" round x 22" long Magnaflow muffler for the resonator... and the 5" x 11" x 22" Magnaflow muffler as the rear muffler.....fabing everything in is next but the tubing system is right on!!!!!!!

 

Those of you interested please call and order your catback systems that are 2.5" anyone wanting a 3.0" will more than likely be sent a trail fitting 3" catback....here's the contact info:

It's bent with perfection and ready to go......you will need to purchase an O2 sensor bung though!

 

I went full custom. Complete header back and spent only about 500 for all the parts. Put a 21 inch resonator on it and a muffler with adjustable/removable baffle and called it a day

 

I guess a little too late....no biggie there's still people willing to purchase..Sorry for the lengthy install.....Sh!+ happens.....

 

Thanks for your hard work, we need more people on the forum like you.

I've pm'd all those that were suppose to be interested......Give Josh a call.....

 

Glad to see fitment is good. Much better than the more expensive Cattman and Greddy...

 

hmm im a little late but depending how things pan out, I may be interested....

 

This system has alot of adjustability with patience and attention to detail this MES catback can result in an awesome catback.....I'm be doing a little welding/tacking as well as bending my hanger support rods today.....and fitted them for tacking....Mufflers are or their way, so hopefully I'll be done soon....Thanks for the enlightment, but Obstacles just kept coming and I guess life can't be perfect 100% of the time and we have to battle thru and weather the storms before us to reach our objectives and goals...

 

Will have money on the first but how long will they take to be shipped out? 3" ss? And can we get an update on prices?

 

 

I've posted all the info several times.....Call or email Josh he'll answer your questions more thoroughly....I believe the 3" will need someone to do a test fit as well speak to Josh.....

The 3rd Gen and 4th Gen Maxima(s) are roughly about the same size.....so I think the pricing will be close too each other!

i'll be placing my order later this week more than likely. pricing is great.

 

I emailed josh, still waiting on a reply...will let you know what he says

 

Waiting on my mufflers! This what I ordered....Can't wait til they're here guys!

Bump!!!!

 

Magnaflow mufflers showed up today....also bought a chop saw to make it a little easier and make sure my cuts are square as hell!

 

Magnaflows came in yesterday...the left and center are for the 4th Gen/MES 2.5" Tubing kit...The one on the right is for my 5.5th Gen, 3" Cattman catback...I'm gonna experiment went a resontor section using a 6" round x 18" long x 3" in/out muffler as my resonator.....Cattman 4" x 20" x 3" vs Magnaflow 6" x 18" x 3" (138.16 cu in. vs 169.56 cu in)and the flat end caps have better sound control than a bullet shaped muffler.....The Flat end caps reflect more sound within the muffler making it quieter than the bullet style!

 

Got the mufflers installed just need the hanger hooks welded in.....Been doing some innovative rod bending!!!!! LOL!!!!

 

Looks nice. I'm glad people are finally realizing the benefits to a 3" exhaust.
When I get the money, I will be doing an aluminum 3" on my Max as well, but using all vibrant components. I can just build it at work and make it sound pretty decent.

As an added note for people who still don't believe the benefits of 3", on my daily driver 2006 Civic Si; I installed a 3" and my AFR on my wideband went lean across the board, most noted was from 5000-9500rpm where the AFR went from about 11.7 to almost 17 in some places. Unfortunately the other side-effect of such an exhaust is that it's friggin' loud. It sounds amazing at idle, but it's still a Honda...

 

I use alot of Vibrant Components myself like the heavy duty turbo-interlocked flex sections, 1" wide SS exhaust clamps, I haven't tried there resonator nor mufflers yet, they're to small....Magnaflow's lineup is unbeatable IMO and their quality and sound is awesome! My 3rd Gen also uses a MES tubing catback kit with a 4" round x 18" long x 2.5" in/out resonator inconjunction with a 5" x 11" x 22" rear muffler and there is no drone EVER! So I already know the only really growling will be @ WOT on this 4th Gen as well, I've got everything marked still bending the rear muffler hanger hooks and the final welding is close, may have to do this tomorrow....

 

Had a friend call me to help him put coilovers on one of 5 E38 7series BMW's.....Man that rear suspension ain't no joke!
