Installed my GReddy Catback Today...
I installed the GReddy Catback on my Maxima today. I'm very pleased with it so far (although I've only had it for a couple hours). The sound is awesome. It's a nice deep growl, but so much nicer than all the rice-boy Civic mufflers. I think that it sounds best between 2000-2500rpm. I don't even have a Y-pipe yet (soon), and I'm happy. It's a lot quieter than I thought it was gonna be, but I guess when I get the Y-pipe it'll be louder.

With the y-pipe it will be a lot louder. I have a custom pipe from the cat to the muffler. My cat has also been gutted. My car was very loud! The flex joint in the y-pipe leaked so I had to put on a stock pipe for now. It's so quiet compared to before. The exhaust note isn't even noticeable until it get's warmed up. I miss my pipe! 
Not to mention the loss of performance. I used to be able to pull pretty hard on my friends 89 Mustang 5.0. with cat-back. Now he pulls on me hard.
I can't wait to get my y-pipe back!

I recieved my Greddy cat back about 2 months after I ordered it which it pretty good concidering how long other people have been waiting. I installed it a few months ago and just wait about a month till you break it in and it sounds louder you will enjoy it even more.

I got my GReddy catback system about 3 years ago. I added a Cattman SS Y-pipe about 6 months ago. At idle, it purrrrrs. At cruise, it's quiet. At WOT (wide open throttle), it wails! And it's a deep growl, not a high-pitched, bees in a can sound. It's very intimidating when you want it to be, and it's very quiet when you want it to be. The volume control is under your right foot...
I noticed a slight improvement to high-end acceleration with the catback. I noticed a big difference in acceleration when I added the Y-pipe. Best improvement comes with all the family members ready to pull together: hi-flow intake, y-pipe, R/T cat, GReddy Catback system. (The stock pipe diameter is 2.25 or 2.5, I think.) Good luck.

RedMax95: Didn't get around to doing the mesh yet. I keep putting it on hold. I'll do it eventually...probably not this weekend, but next weekend. 
--------------------------------------------------------------------
bullseye: That's the exact setup that I'm planning on going with. I currently only have the Stillen Hi Flow Intake and GReddy Catback Exhaust System. I'll eventually add the Cattman SS Y-pipe and RT Cat, but I need more money first.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The exhaust is great. The more I drive it, the more I love it. Sometimes, I don't think that it's loud enough, but that'll change once I get the Y-pipe.
My Check Engine Light keeps coming on since I got the exhaust. So far it has done it twice, but it'll probably do it again. Anyway, it keeps giving me code 0505 -- all clear. So I keep resetting the light, and than it comes back on after a little while of driving. I reset it when I got home from school, and again when I got home from work.
