Need help choosing exhaust?

Hey,
I know this is probably asked a lot but I need help choosing an exhaust system. I saw the GD on the Cattman but I am also interested in the Evo2. I'm not sure which exhaust in the market right now is best for my 2K max. Any feedback or "PICS" would be greatly appreciated. I have the stillen rear valence...so fitment would also be a concern. Thanks!

This is asked a lot and there was a poll recently: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=328096

I hope I don't come across as mean or anything, but you should look through the older posts and other org members' webpages (for pics), it'll save ya getting crap from people.... just some friendly advice...

Anyways, I have the Evo cat-back, and I have to say that I love the sound, even though it drones on the freeway between 2000-2500 rpms. I might change my mind later when I get my y-pipe, cuz I heard its at least 3 times louder with that. It also depends on the look you want, the Cattman is dual tipped and the Evo is single.... all the best with your decision....

My .02 is there both good. If u want higher dba then go with Greddy. I like the Cattman's quality, fitment and its not as loud as Greddy. I would recomend u PM the people that live near u with different exhaust setup. Go hear if for yourself and then judge what u want.

if you want to drop over $600, cattman is the way to go. I also like frankcar, but no one seems to be able to ever get in touch with them
