I just had the b-pipe flange break AGAIN after having it welded in summer of 05, cheap way out i knew it would break again, my question is what mufflers can i get fairly cheap that will sound better than stock but not obnoxiously loud? I know stillen cattman HKS are like 300-350/piece, what about ractive, frankencar, etc? How about big car mufflers like flowmaster, borla, magnaflow, worth a shot or no? i dont know too much about it as you can tell any advice would be appreciated thanks

I have a borla universal muffler and i think it sounds better than any of the stillen/frankencar/cattman mufflers. However, it is the only exhaust component i have replaced and im afraid it will be extreemly loud with any further mods (headers/Y Etc). As it is though, it is nice and modest sound, with a great low rumble. And when i say low, i mean really low. also i see you have a 2001 so you have the vq30de whereas i have the vq35de. this probably makes some difference in sound as well. Mine sound a lot like this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wi5DYhpai8 but looks much different. mine is dual tip.
Hope this helps.

Sound clip of Magnaflow please...

try magnaflow.com they have some clips there, not maxima tho.
my model is universal street series part# 14816, sounds not too loud not to quiet, just what "im looking for" and it looks good too, specially when its shinny...not like one of those loud a-s-s mufflers that set of alarms all over the place

good luck

Ya, I am looking at the 14815 model with 3" tips. I have yet to find a Magnaflow exhaust clip on a Maxima. I want to make sure it has a growl to it, and no backfire popping noises.

Thats pretty much exactly what i want too- what about ractive? Very cheap, didnt think they were stainless but I heard they were?

Ok I got a magnaflow delta 50 series 2.5" and the cattman stainless midpipe, i dunno how loud that muffler is gonna be, but i guess the pipe should quiet it down a bit since right now im running w/ no resonator, well its actually broke now so its REAL loud lol

If you want to go the route. Cattman or OEM muffler with Magnaflow tips.

**** i shouldve gotten some tips, i just got one of the stainless dual 2" from work those magnaflows are probly nice, does the cattman mid quiet it down or make it louder?

Make it louder on what terms?

carsarecool

iTrader: (1)

louder than stock. like say i had the muffler I got, the flowmaster, w/ stock piping versus the cattman mid- the catt. would probly be a little deeper tone right due to larger diameter? or not cause the resonator is huge?

how in Greddy Evo 2 rice?
