That's the cheapest site that sells cattman for less compare to all the other ones.http://www.sportcompactonly.com/prod...126&l=2&p=2391

I doubt the noise level would be significantly less than your Magnaflow... have ya tried getting a bigger resonator for your current set-up?

btw, I got my Frankencar from Joel (puppetmaster) who swapped it out for a cattman for "more noise".....in terms of quality, they are equal...they have the same tone, but the cattman just has more volume....

I agree, if you want less noise, dont go with cattman. Cattman is not to bad noise wise... till you free up your front half.

The sound is fantastic, however it can get old all the time.

from the sound clips, the frankencar sounds just as loud as the cattman muffler to me, but it is hard to tell from just a sound clip. I would really like to hear them in person and in the car.

having heard them side by side (on my car and Joels), the cattman is DEFINITELY louder and, while the Frankencar is just barely louder than stock.....btw, both of us have the Frankencar b-pipe, so it's the muffler only that I'm referring to....

Having owned both... I can say that the Cattman is considerably louder than the Frankencar, from both inside and outside the car... and this is with the Frankencar b-pipe matched with both rears...

Wait until you hear them side by side in setups with headers. You will hear the difference.

Not that frankencar is a bad choice, but you cannot steer the guy away from a catman, that's you just being a fan boy my friend ; )

He has a Mossy cat-back, which is essentially the same as the Cattman.

It won't be as loud as a Harley or a WRX with a turbo-back for that matter.... its not bad at idle either, from my experience... anything will be loud WOT with intake and headers....

Loud is bad... I agree with Irish's setup. If you want loud then go join the ricers w/ 92 Civics with Spoilers as large as the super bird
My M3 has a race pipe setup and truthfully sounds like hell.

I want "throaty", "muscular". I dont want it to sound like a 2 stroker on a motor scooter.
Frankencar Muffler is the way to go?

Will I loose anything by keeping the stock muffler on the car with headers and b pipe as opposed to having a full catback including Muff?

With headers, most anything will sound "throaty" and "muscular".... decide for yourself here: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=407975

Yes it is two bazookas, but the weird thing is it doesn't dispense gum.

If you made car sound like crap, with a race pipe, which does practically nothing on your car, why are you bragging to us?

Have you heard irish's setup, or a properly tuned full bolt on maxima?
The car sounds good, loud, under WOT. It doesn't make the car drone or ricey. It's rather ironic, quite a few people have commented on how it drones even less with the cattman b-pipe.

I haven't one person who has been in my car and felt it to be ricey or obnoxiously loud, usually they have a big smile on their face after hearing how well my car sounds and performs. It's not rice, these parts do help my car perform better.

If anyone has any doubts about these sort of claims, do some searching here over google, and look at dynographs of how 3.5 maximas performs these kinds of ricey mods.

If you've seen sr20den's car running a high 12, would you hesitate to call the car ricey?
