Well the link is below but I do have a question for the HKS guys. Does your exaust hit the axle beam? Mine is always hitting the axle beam, let me know what you guys have done to fix this. or is it a falw in the HKS design.

As Always, keep refreshing til you get the goods, Geocities has some serious problems.

 

Ya mon dat bad bwoy sounds wicked!!!! Very nice!
Your sig says Cattman SS is that the Y-pipe? Do you have rsb or fstb with all the extra power in there....I have a STS on my 5pd and damn I suggest it too...you will wish you had it the whole time!

 

looks better on a 4th gen

nice vid.

 

looks really. I think that Maxima's have better looking exhaust compared to the Accords.

 

thats hot $hit

 

Mine doesn't hit the axle beam, but I have two problems, one is mine is hitting against Stillen Body kit and soon will melt my rear piece (anyone has solution to this besides cutting it?) and the other one is my exhaust is too Loud for me!

I dont' know how long will i keep this muffler since it's too loud! Anyone wants it?

 

you get clearance for that flyby Maverick? Doh! you made me spill my coffee again.

nice vid.

 

I don't know man, the hangers on mine must be loose b/c mine bangs into the axle all the time over bumps. as far as the heat goes. can you put a little rubber strip aruond the edge of the body kit so it doesn't hit and make a noise. As far as it being too loud is yours an stick or auto. I think mine was loud when I started, but its either gotten quiet or I'm getting used to it.


PhatGuy, SS is a Y-pipe . whats a STS? I have a FSTB, no RSB (YET)

 

Mine is Auto, at highway speed it's pretty quiet, but at low RPM, man my car sounds exactly like Mustang GT, lots of drone (bass noise) i guess. as far as the body kit, no I can't put anything in between it, cuz it's like tight between the two tips, my muffler is stiff as hell because besides those three hangers, I have my body kit clamps on sides of the muffler tips!

And about the pipe hitting the axle, kind of weird I was having hard time installing the muffler due to axels at the back(scratched underbody of the car) and the way the pipe on HKS muffler angles down more and thicker than stock.

I would recheck all the hangers(3 of them) and the bolts on the pipe) other than that..i have no idea...

 

The HKS is the ****. I rode in PI0NEER's max and it sounds awesome. It is a little on the loud side but it matches so well with the rest of the setup. The Cattman and HKS are a perfect combination. When he got on it, it sounded soooo sweet. My GXE automagic doesn't compare. I am planning on waiting and trading in for a 5 speed 2001 with the HKS and Cattman.

Hey PI0NEER, when are we going for a ride again?

 

I love that CAI growl!

 

Well, HKS rear section is the best looking bolt on muffler for 5th gen max so far, but it's too loud for my taste. Maybe Greddy will change that, but I doubt it, since it comes with smaller resonator than stock system!

So is it true that STillen is quieter than HKS? Anyone?

 

How much you selling for it? Still have your stock muffler? Want to swap?

 

I haven't heard the HKS in person, so I can't comment. The roar you hear in the mpg is his CAI, not exhaust.

Stillen muffler = decently quiet
Stillen muffler + y pipe = loud enough for the average person

 

PIONEER, where did you get the HKS rear section from and how much did it cost?

 

That's a great video

What road is that? It looks familiar



oh, BTW STS = short throw shifter

 

i wants it!!!!

 

How much are you willing to pay for it? ONly been on my car for 2 days!!!

 

John let me know, we work in the same building so I'm sure something could be done.

 

I've heard the Stillen Exhaust and the HKS is louder. at low RPMs and Low speed the Drown is enough that if you are having a conversation, your better half may get upset b/c she can't hear you over the noise but isn't conversation the key to any relationship the more you talk the better

 

email me:

johnw_brown@email.msn.com

We can discuss price and all over that.

Thanks

 

that's a nice ooglie you got there

btw sniper your ooglie should have been there now.
email me for us postal tracking number

 

Trust me put the STS and RSB and your car will be so much nicer to drive! The shifting is awesome with the STS.

 

man-o-man-nice!!

 

Your pics look good. Nice license plate as well.

 

you Like

 

you have a metal plate screwed to the bumper above the exhaust like the bimmer boys do, that will surely stop the bumper from melting

 

Now those are what I call close-ups. That camera of yours takes some sweet looking pictures but of course the Sherwood Green is extremely photogenic anyway

 

That video mpg is good as hell!!!
I was cherring you on in my room, i was like "GO PIONEER"

"GO MAXIMA"!!!!!!!!!
I get my baby back in 24 hours.

Roger

 

Man is this the first Sherwood Green SE on the forum?? Man reminds me of my younger days. Keep it clean and get a bra B4 you get chips on it.

 

Roger, I'll take some more videos over the weekend, Stay around.

 

Would that muffler fit on a 2k1 Anniv. Edition? Seeing as the AE doesn't have the cutout in the bumper. I would like to get something for my car and that exhaust looks the best so far..


Thanks...

 

You think those dual pipes would fit
with the Stillen Kit? Don't want to
melt the rear piece. Have you noticed
a black film resonating on the rear of
your car? I see alot of cars with
exhaust have that.

 

no man...the rubber won't do anything to protect the bodykit. what you can do is instead of rubber, you can either buy or custom fabricate a heat shield(perhaps you've seen one of these off of a touring cars..they all have an aluminum heat shield on their rear bumper to protect it from exhaust heat.)
for your rear stillen valence...these things are relatively cheap to make and will save your bumper from melting... not to mention, it'll probably make your car look a little better too..

 

Found a problem with the HKS Exaust, Called HKS and they say the rear section on the 2K maxima is a tight fit and the exaust has to be bolted with a twist to the left so when its fully tightened it moves to the right a bit and stops the hitting. I will try that out tomorrow, hopefully it will work.
