Saying Goodbye to My Fart Can
I bought an 02 Maxima SE and it came with a rusted out Greddy cat back although the muffler is in pristine condition. I have on order a Warp Y-pipe, Magnaflow B-pipe - stainless pipe to the muffler and a Magnaflow Cat. The Greddy sounds good at lower speeds but at higher speeds there is a drone. I wanted to buy a new muffler that would give me the performance of the Greddy without the noise. There are many choices in a Cat back system but I only need the Muffler. Can anyone suggest where I can buy just a muffler in SS that is quiet and performance oriented?
Thanks in advance

Cattman. I gained 14 whp with Cattman exhaust. Not overly loud at all. Very quiet at idle. Not stock for sure when you are getting on it and fairly quiet on highway. I don't notice it above music at all. I have not received anything but approvals of the sound. I have no complaints so far other than it is still clanking a bit.

Hi Puppet, I am away from my scanner tonight but I will scan at least the printout and I will Email my dyno guy and see if he can get me the run files. I also changed the timing and tuned the motor via SAFC II. Not a pure catback dyno but as close as I can get you. Will post tomorrow when I am back at home.

Thanks for clarifying btw... the timing and tuning must have contributed to that 14 whp significantly...

The reason why I'm interested is because I wanted to see a) cat-back gains measured by the dyno (if he had em), however small and b) the effects of AFR tuning on lightly modded/stock Maximas.

FYI I was talking to Brian Catts today and they are installing the new beta version of the US made SS Cattman headers today(Tues). He said his personal Max dyno'd 240 with the NZ headers. Hopefully these new ones have even more go. Hey Puppet how big were those hoseclamps you fit over the exhaust hangers?

oh well, it was just another case of me seeing someone post questionable HP gains, someone asking about them, and my first reaction is that they person asking is being sarcastic.
after being here nearly two years i still am amazed at how easy it is to assume someone's mood incorrectly from a forum post.

Does anyone know the ballpark figure in terms of price for these new SS headers? An estimated release date might be helpful as well........hummmmm, hopefully this will be the new unveiling at Maxus this week.
