Pics of my custom exhaust and car! =)

The weld shots are kind of dark so i did not add them, but from the pictures IMO i think the car still retains its lines nicely without the " can muffler heavy end look". Also two shots of the Injen and car pics of my car. I will retake the weld shots again.

IMHO, I think it looks horrible. Sticks out and up to much.

Mufflers is ricey IMHO (since they are the same I see on all the Honda Type R's here in GA ). Should have went with a Remus muffler and a custom cat back (2.5" w/resonator).

Looks good.

Overall your car is nice very clean. I like the exhaust. Tips in the rear are different for a maxima which is cool........ subtle in my opinion. Greddy evo is much more rice than your setup. People on this board dont take well to being different when it comes to style. To each is own. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the compliment! I know what you meen, i knew i would get some negative feedback, but that is expected when you try to be diffrent and not follow the cookie cutter crowd(Evo exhaust, Evo rims, etc.) Which are cool , but its the easy way out of being creative.

Thanks everybody for your compliments and disaprovals....

That's true...I don't see many of them on Maximas. I guess it's seeing them on everything else that makes me not like them.

I still can't decide on what I want mine to sound like. I'm almost sure Remus muffler and a custom 2.5" cat back will be in order (with at least a 12" resonator), but I kinda like the sleeper look overall 9not very visible, or not much different looking than stock).

Your car is coming along nicely, though. Keep us up to date on the progress...

Thanks for the constructive criticism...i highly recommend the Remus muffler. I had one on my 1994 BMW 328I.Great sound , nice rumble,nice muffler ,also doesn't hang down like the Greddy, stays pretty tucked under the car like the Ractive.

I hear ya on keeping it stock looking. The exhaust that i have is probally going to be the most radiacal exterior bolt on that i will have on my car. For wheels i am looking for a clean 18" 5 star set up with a nice lip.

Well thanks again and i hope you go with the Remus, i know you won't be dissapointed.

you ever think maybe a borla might suit your needs. i know at least 2 people selling borla muffler-sections only. buy the b-pipe, then have the rest welded on. would be quite a custom job, but i'm almost 100% sure the borla is the tone you're looking for. i was going for that, but then i got a sick deal on the greddy, so i just went along with it.

Not my taste, but you deserve a pat on the back for going your own route with this setup.

another reminder of a civic. i have seen these on many civics and 88- accords. they sound crappy and look horrible. i dont think i have ever been this rude, but i don't like it. the max does not deserve it...

Sorry, I'm not digging the muffler. BTW, learn how to park, so that you dont scrape the bumper when you lower your car 2.5".
