Whhich is better? Greddy catback or HKS Muffler?

I was considering buying either the Greddy catback or the HKS muffler with a custom b pipe. I have a few questions though.
1.)Since the Greddy has only one outlet pipe, will I lose plenty of lowend power?
2.)How much power should I expect?
3.)Too loud? I already have the Y pipe
4.)How much will a shop charge for a custom B pipe?
Thanks for the help.

1)what exactly do u mean by one outlet pipe? i thought most exhausts have just one outlet pipe, hks muffler included.
2)5hp maybe
3)greddy is going to hurt ur ears.
4)buy it from coutesy nissan for 190.

I was just pondering the Greddy too....custommaxima.com has it at a decent price. I'm just a little concerned about the noise level. I checked carreviews.com and some people said that it wasn't loud at all and then some people said it was droning. I think, for the most part though, that people were complaining about noise at the low RPM range...most people said that you can't even hear it above 3000 RPM.

Ayone in Jersey have one of these puppies installed? Wanna drive by my house ?

What other options are there for a cat back system on our 2k+?

Does Courtesy make one for the 2k+ models?

That's what I thought too...I also talked to Paul from Avalon and he told me that Stillen also doesn't make one for the 5th Gen. He suggested I get one custom made...but I've yet to find a good shop in the Central Jersey area.

Adam, this is OT but I'm gonna throw on a set of 18's as well. They are 45 offset. Is this gonna look weird? And I can't decide on tires. It's either 225/40/18 or 235/40/18. I like the way your tires look in the pic. What do you suggest?

Think Courtesy would be interested in making a custom B-pipe for the 5th Gen's too?

The HKS has 2 tips on the end. So will I lose low end power? When I go to www.eatricezone.com they have a B pipe listed for maxima parts. It doesn't have a price but they want you to email for pricing. How much would I expect to pay a shop to make me a custom B Pipe? i don't even think that i need the B pipe at all. I was just figuring that I might as well go all the way.
