Try searching on this subject. My recomendation would be to wait and see if the Y-pipe and headers come out or cough up the cash for the greddy. I regret not waiting for the greddy!

I would suggest you purchase a Y-pipe for your Max, it should be out soon and should give you about a 12 hp gain, this coupled with an intact, about a 6 hp gain, should be a good start and give you a nice growl. An exhaust is not known to give large hp gains like it would on an American made V-8. And while a Greddy is pretty expensive, around $600, most members here that have them are pretty happy.

Org members have dynoed Stillen y-pipe at twelve hp, while the Stllen intake gets you eight hp. The fantastic Greddy Evolution catback was dynoed at a whopping FIVE hp(not alot for $600). I'd suggest get the y-pipe and Intake and ENJOY THE RIDE.

My bad. In that case an axhaust would just be a cosmetic upgrade for you. The 5th Generation muffler seems to be an optimzed exhaust if you read the prior threads and posts. Happy Modding.

exactly, i decided not to get an exhaust system after a 5gen member dynoed his car with everything removed after the main cat. the result, only a 2hp gain! the y-pipe and intake will do wonders for the engine....do it, hear and feel the gain!

with no back pressure you will get very little gains...

This is my first post and i'm interested in the topic. I just bought my 2k3 SE on July 5th. My first purchase was a Frankencar intake and know i'm looking into the exhuast. I had an EVO on my old Eclipse and it provided no gains, just a drone on the highway. How would a WSP y-pipe, combined with their b-pipe(w/out resonator), all going through the stock muffler work?
