Hey guys, first I got to say I have not been on this site for a long time. I started Law School and immediately ran out of money to do anything to my car.

If I kept reading up about my car on this site I would have had to open many credit cards .

Anywayz my problem is this. I am driving down the road and all of a sudden my car is about 10 times louder than normal.

I pull over and look under it just to see that my Greddy muffler rusted through at the pipe.

Do you guys know if I need to buy the whole catback exhaust system or can or does Greddy sell just the muffler system?

In case you ask what model this Greddy Exhaust is, I think its the first EVO, I got it about 3-4 years ago.

Thanks for The Help and oh

 

So it's a regular EVO? not an EVO II stainless?

Most likely you can fix it at a muffler shop, but if you want you can replace it with something stainless like a Cattman catback.

 

It is an EVO.



My mechanic looked at it and said its DONE .

I want to go cheapest possible but maintain looks. I think I decided to sell my car this summer.

I just don't know if I would have to buy the whole catback system or muffler by itself.

I saw someone selling the whole catback for $300

 

IMO, the original Greddy Evo wasn't good quality, so even if you fixed it, it'd probably rust and break somewhere else. The problem with the Greddy b-pipe is that it does not match well with other prefabbed rear sections like the Cattman, HKS, or Frankencar (before you ask, Frankencar is out of business). Your options include to get a new custom rear section made to match the Greddy b-pipe, a used stock catback, an Evo II (which are dirt cheap now I think) catback, or a stainless Cattman catback.

Since you say you're selling the car, I'd just find a used stock catback in the 5th Gen Classifieds for cheap and call it a day.

 

Thanks for the help.

One last thing and I dont' know if you are able to answer this but...saw someone selling one for $300...you think that is a good deal (2 weeks old)?

 

good thing i live in sunny california where it doesn't snow. I haven't seen any rust on my EVO yet.

 

If you were worried about looks... you wouldn't have went with a greddy evo in the first place

 

What Year is your Max!

If you have a 2000-2001 you can upgrade to the Evo2 but if you have a 5.5 Gen i recommend cattman. cattman will give you HP but if you were to put the EVO 2 on the 5.5 Gen you wont gain any HP.

But if you wanted to stay away from greddy all together get the cattman.

 

I am almost 90% sure I want to sell my car.

But what is the rough estimate for the cattman?

 

it varies heres the link to the site.

they have different coating's to and i dont know which one you would want so heres the link.

http://cattman.com/

 

do you have proof of this?

 

Yes read the Exhaust Thread. its a sticky.

 

Post a link, because I can't find it.

 

Quit making yourself look like an idiot. Cause I had a Greddy EvoII on my car as well as a Frankencar that is on my car now. Both don't make a difference.

 

cant seem to find it but i know i saw it somewhere. other then that get a cattman exhaust like i said before there pretty good most people have them. Franken car is good to but they dont make parts for the maxima anymore you can try ebay for one but i doubt youll find one.

 

hey thats the first time i made a mistake in a while. ive been doing pretty good so far iam not making my self look like a idiot.

 

I think homey fails to see the word HEADERS..

 

what do you mean by homey lol.

 

Slang reference to a member that cannot back his claims.

 

oh so you werent talking to me?

 

You win "Idiot of the year" already and its only 4 months into the year.

 

You're the only one that has failed to back your said claims.

Refresher:

 

yea true now i remember i saw it in the 4th generation forum.

 

I still don't see any proof.

 

By default, it holds no relevance here, and still, The Law States that said claim is still not proven, so, as before, said claims are not backed.

 

Please step away from any car and all cars as well as computers. You are a safety hazard to yourself and others on the road as well as on the internet as your low IQ makes everybody else drop down to your level.

You started it joebangaa.. I was going to let it slide.. (you know, give a a break), but you just had to ask... Instigator!

it says 5th gen exhaust can be installed on 4th gen's but yield no extra HP

 

Ok, that means STOCK MUFFLER. So, no surprise here but again, your statement is still invalid as well as extremely vague.

Vague: You said exhaust in your earlier post, in particular, cat back the provided link is for a muffler.
Admit you're wrong, and this can all end.

 

Invalid statement with your original statement. YOU = IDIOT.

Just give up cause you suck at life.

 

Granted he is wrong and stubborn, anything learned from Virginia Tech? The org is making another Cho Seung-Hui.

 

And this has to do with A33's because why?

Keep it semi on topic mmmk?

There's a place for that.

 

Dude it has only been 2 days. That isn't even a funny joke to be even saying. That was just F'ucked up. Please go ban yourself or

 

I apoligize for my remarks, nobody's perfect. The org is harsh on people, i was just trying to put things in perspective.

To salvage topic: any cat back will give only minimal if any gains.

 

ok i was wrong.

 

Dang you guys are harsh!

BUTTTTT.... Point is STILL NOT PROVEN!


...yo Law, I swear my car makes a little more power with the EVO II vs Cattman except for the fact that I have a ricer buzz exhaust note.

 

i hate that ricer buzz exhaust note... only when the car is warming up though. After it's all warmed up its gone!

 

You have it too? Is it because of the fact that it's a can?

I have it even after it's warmed up.

 

then something is wrong with your exhaust.
