You will see gains with a catback but it wont be noticeable. Get this http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.com...EXHAUST/Detail and piece together a system or just buy the SRS. Hard to beat the price and it does sound good

Thanks man 
Does the 3 inch have significant advantages over the 2.25?
I'm thinking- bigger diameter= better airflow, can't go wrong with that right

I'm looking for a deep sound, nothing farty or raspy.

Flowmasters tend to give a deep sound for our cars. I had a Flowmaster clone on my first Maxima and it sounded pretty good. I would think a Flowmaster 44 with the resonator cut out would be about what you're looking for.

I would think it would sound close to this, but less raspy since you would keep the cat.

I wouldn't bother with the knock off fart cans.

It's a little under twice as much, but I think you would be much happier with the sound. The Flowmaster style doesn't sound like any other muffler unless the muffler is a Flowmaster clone. If I were you, I would go with the Flowmaster. As for the 8-10% horsepower gain, it isn't going to happen. The best you will get out of just muffler on our cars will be marginal at best. CAI and Y-Pipe will give the best HP gains on our cars. Others stuff gives small gains, if any. But I did notice better throttle response with the muffler.

^I meant a nice muffler. Mine is a little smaller than stock, but with a budget y-pipe, stock cat, and straight pipe leading into it, it kills a ton of rasp and nasty sound leaving a solid deep exhaust tone. The brand is nowhere to be found, but it works well and is clearly of decent quality

Cmax03 I am running a Goerlich Xlerator turbo muffler. It's the same internally as a Thrush turbo. I do in fact know what a turbo muffler is. They were mostly used on old muscle cars back in the day.

The pic you used to illustrate this was of a canister (Fart Can) type muffler.....Which is a straight thru design.....Turbo Mufflers aren't that at all.....Matter of fact the term came about back in the 60's when the Chevy Corvair Turbo needed a free-er flowing muffler with good sound control....it's basically a reverse flow muffler like Sonic, Dynomax Super Turbo (Which I love except for the short life span)....I was going by the pic I saw not having a pissing contest....

You do know your history, your absolutely right about the Corvair. That is exactly where it came from. Not trying to be a tough guy just defending my internet honor.

I never posted a picture of a fart can (straight through design). That was Eddie982. I installed a turbo muffler to replace a fart can that came on my cheap ebay catback. I wanted something that could flow decent and look stock. I even painted the muffler flat black.

Well I didn't really see my exact muffler on eBay. It's made by a company called Goerlich. Their website is www.apexexhaust.com
However I did find a thrush turbo which is just as good if not better. It has the same dimensions as mine it should fit fine. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=66516881051

I have an apexi world speed cat back and it sounds really good. I had that paired with a hi-flo cat, warpspeed y-pipe and aem dry-flo hai. Now I have cattman headers, y-pipe, fast-cat and am about to test it again with the same cat-back before selling it and upgrading to 3" piping.

Its all good brother! Yea I agree that turbo mufflers usually sound good. Ive used them on multiple Civics that had otherwise straight exhaust and while they sounded a bit weird they were significantly quieter. The exhaust looked stock too.
I'm happy with my setup and have actually received compliments on the sound. Atleast from passengers, I have no idea what it sounds like outside the car. I need to make a sound clip now and after I install a 240sx test pipe. I'm going to try and fork out the extra cash for a resonated one since I'm worried it will be too loud for my liking.
