Exhaust is sounding really nice.....it's pretty mellow.....made a few adjustments to TPS and found a little more throttle sensitive.....

I think 4 or 5 other people have....Yall need to speak up! Those on the list seem to disappear into the darkness rather quickly but Josh @ MES said he had several calls and orders for the 4th Gen catback....
This is the email from MES:

We also created a discount code called "MAX95" which will trigger 15% off
the order when someone uses that code. The code is only active for the first
10 customers.

Thanks again for your help with this.

I did get afew emails, and waited on the reply till we had it added to our
site... They have now been replied to.

Do you have any proof that there are no power gains from installing a 2.5" catback?

Here's the Original List, Who all actually bought one besides myself... Don't know! But you know it's the samething on Maxima.Org with all these folks jumping on the group buy list of any Mod Project and once it's ready to be bought they all scramble like rats and roaches when the lights are turned on! I did my part and there's an actual website to buy from now!

Just ordered those Kartboy Poly exhaust Bushings for the cat on back.....I have a light metallic contact if I fly over a big bump...Other than that it's quiet I hear my Place racing Intake more than the exhaust once above 3K.....but it's a nice smooth sound.....sounds really refined!

Congrats to you bro! I'm glad to see someone else with one beside myself! Yeah a little cutting isn't a problem......just hope your exhaust guy cleaned up the tubing real good before he put it together.....I did all my fabbing and fitting all the welder did was tack weld the setup I brought to him in the back fo my truck cause it was fitted and clamped/marked/ready to go!

The only stock parts of my exhaust are the headers and b-pipe. If I were to get it I would not see much in the way of gains. 3hp maybe.

Well those Kartboy exhaust hangars come in and I've install just (2) on the rear muffler and I can barely move the exhaust....WOWWWWWW! Really nice, thick and stiff (Sounds familiar???)....Looks like the regular length 12mm is the perfect one for all the Maximas.....I'm impressed so far.....Let's see how them perform on a bumpy *** road and I'll get back to yall today.....

yeah, not much in the way of actual HP gains on paper, but it affects throttle response trust me. i was surprised with my 2.5"

Well I gotta a chance to install the other 3 hangars, which are the (2) @ the cat fwd flange......and the (1) @ the rear of the resonator! Man the **** doesn't move at all!!!!! I even took some hella bumpy roads at a fast and slow pace and and IT WAS ABSOLUTELY SILENT! Wow folks I'll recommend these for the 3" exhaust guys for sure...with A32's and A33's!!!!! Kartboy hangars are a hit with me!

I was told by the 4th gen previous ownr that my 2.5" MES is too quiet! I had another friend that I did a high speed pass by while he was in his truck driving say he thought it was a Corvette I went by him so fast,and it sounded like a V8 @ WOT...hahahaha....it's highly suggestive...

There's always an alternative....... If enough folks don't sign up for Cattman's 3" catback there's always MES......Since there's a 4th gen Resistance trying to throw a monkey wrench in Cattman's fan...The chances of Cattman getting enough ppl maybe a bit slim....But don't ever count Cattman out!.....He's the Real King of this Maxima Thing!
