I just want to get an idea of what exhausts are out there, and what they look like on the car. especially you guys with stillen rears. i like greddy, but dont like the price or the HUGE coffee can-ness of the muffler/tip. i like something about the size of an IS300 tip is nice, maybe dual of that. not sure. thanks guys, for the pics/ideas.

 

This is OBX catback. Sometimes I don't like the look and others I think it isnt that bad. Once I put on the Stillen rear then it will look much better.

 

Trex

 

that cattman isnt too bad, how is the sound?

 

stock muff with 3" magnaflow tips....

 

now THAT is what i like. do they have a magnaflow cat back or muffler for our cars? thats classy, with the angle.

 

That magnaflow tip setup is what I have been trying to get from them. They DO NOT make a 2.5 SS muffler with those tips, so I had to go and buy one of their custom SS mufflers with no tips and 2.5 in/out and then buy two tips to go with it. I will put it on next spring, should look just like that without any loss of power from the 2.5 piping.

 

yeah. thats what i was tryin to find, an SS muffler with those tips. does anyone make a catback with those tips? i guess theoretically i could get a custom cat back made and then use those tips with one of their generic mufflers.

 

Here is what you will need to get from Magnaflow:

Part: 14258 2.5 inlet to dual 2.5 out.
and then go select the part number for the tips you want. You can find it all on magnaflows site.

 

thanks man, i appreciate it...

BP 3.5, do you remember the part number of those tips?

 

The Frankencar catback have tips that look like that.

 

here you go...

isnt Frankencar the one that sticks out from the rear bumper pretty far?

 

Franencar:

Yo V,

I think I saw your ride on the Herndon Pkwy last week. I was rolling behind you in my SE coming up to Sterling Rd. I was trying to get a closer look at the Frankencar, then you turned off.

Anyway, very stealthy ride...not even a spoiler.

 

Here is mine...

 

Powertech PT1011

 

Flowmaster............

 

how is the sound from that flowmaster pearl?

 

I think I saw you too. I live off from Sterling road.

 

MaximaDave, where did you get your Powertech exhaust? It looks sweeeeet!! How does it sound? Louder than the Cattman exhaust?

 

it sounds really good, id say really close to a V8 muscle car, very deep and throaty.here's a sound clip: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=313917

 

I like that sound of the dual exhaust. I think that your exhaust has a sound all its own. V8 muscle car sound its not.Its missing that real deep V8 idle. Sounds similar to a friend of mine. He has a custom setup on his 94 Turbo Supra.

 

click the image for larger pics of my cattman (car was nice and dirty)

 

Mine looks 100% like ^^

 

I haven't heard the Cattman exhaust....

Mine sounds great, I love the sound. I got mine from a guy here on the org. You can buy them on Ebay as well.

 

I have HKS exhaust

 

if you upgrabe ur b pipe to 2.5", keep resonator and gett catt. ypipe with the powertech, ur car will sound exactly like a 350z...atleast mine does

 

I've been meaning to replace the B pipe for a while. I'll try it out. Thanks Igor...

 

No, it doesnt sound like a 350. Maybe in your head, but I am telling you it doesnt. You are smokin something Igor.

I just cut off my OBX and used the 2.5 piping all the way back. Setup is now with a Magnaflow and 3" magnaflow tips. I think it sounds like A$$ unless you are above 4,000RPM, then yes, it sounds 350-ish, but that period getting up to 4000 sounds like a fart tip. It is too loud, drones like a mule in heat, and attracts every cop car within a half block. I am let down by the magnaflow sound, not to mention it was no easy task for my shop guy to hook up.

I am going back to him tomorrow to do something customer with the stock muffler, the magnaflow tips, and the 2.5 piping. Should sound OK, but more than that I wont have to wear ear plugs when I drive my own ride. It just sounds cheap. I think the OBX sound was way better, and I didnt like that either. argh. maybe I should have picked up a franken-back after all the money I have dropped on different parts.
