ok my car exhaust noise is to loud with the y-pipe and the custom b-pipe and i wanted to get a muffler that will make my car quite.
sow what muffler should i add i heard that the HKS is preety quite but 1 of my maxima friends said just to add a 2000 maxima stock exhaust what muffler should i pick or is there another 1 that i can pick?????????

 

If you want quiet operation go back to a factory stock exhaust system. Don't install a 2000 Maxima exhaust system, because
- It won't fit right (2000 Maxima has a longer wheelbase).
- Your Engine Control Module lacks the capability of operating the active muffler.

You have it almost right. A sensor is something which sends a signal to the Engine Control Module (example: the Oxygen Sensor). An actuator is something which receives a signal from the ECM and acts in response to it (example: the fuel injectors).

The 2000 Maxima has an active muffler. It has a special valve which is closed at low RPMs and open at high RPM. For more information, go to the Nissan-USA site:

and click on Performance.

 

 

I must admit, I don't really know. After reading about it, I assumed it was electronically controlled...

- Mr. Martin, I thought that the "active muffler" was operated based upon exhaust pressure opening up a second valve, not the ECU. Is the system electrical in nature?

 

because there are no wires hanging out of the muffler.

 

Pretty much any aftermarket exhaust will be loud with the Y-pipe. Putting on the stock exhaust is the only way to quiet it down

 

works with pressure...

 

I read on the I30 when it came out that it's electronically controller!
