Hey guys, I just need some confirmation on these mufflers.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=270369715342

Will these fit onto my 2000 Maxima Auto Se?

It's not gonna bolt up, but you can get it welded on.

The only thing that would suck about that one would be that if you ever got 2.5 pipping you'd have to get another muffler since the opening is only 2.25 on that one. I'd get one with a 2.5 inlet and muffler shop would still be able to fit it on with no problems.

thanks for the quick response guys, really appreciate it. Sorry for being a noob about this but is the pipping the diameter of the muffler ---> [OO] <--- diameter of one of the holes?

ChrisMan287

No hes talking about the hole that'll be created in the back where the piping is. The muffler shop will have to cut off that piping and weld it to your existing pipe.

Other then cutting off my piping and welding it to my existing pipe, there should be no problem with fitment issues correct?

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

No fitment issues at all.

Sweet, btw do you know about how much it will cost for the custom work done at the exhaust shop?

between $30-80 depending on how long it takes and how much an hour.

ChrisMan287

OBO $50. It can vary.

Yeah I did a bit of searching for the OEM G35 Sedan muffler on the Maxima. I just wasn't sure if these will fit since they are not OEM and the seller mention G35 Sedan only. Thanks for the response guys! Will post pic and sound when done

Why not consider this one...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...1%7C240%3A1318

...I have it on my car and it's pretty nice. Several members ended up buying it as well after I posted pix/vid.

I had the one you linked to for my Maxima (actual axle-back OEM Maxima replacement) and was extremely upset with the quality of the tips. Looked like **** on the car and fitment was horrible. Took it off in a week and sold it back on eBay for same amount.

Sweet thanks for link, can I install these by myself or will I have to get them done professionally?

P.S - Do you have a sound clip of it?

so now someone is driving around with ugly tipped exhaust

nismopc

iTrader: (3)

yup!

Kevin319

iTrader: (1)

hey nismopc, you mind linking me the pix or vid of that exhaust? I can't find it on search or your profile page

ChrisMan287

You should be able to install it yourself. It's definitely a DIY job.

Kevin319

iTrader: (1)

Thanks for the response. Looks like I'm ordering them tonight

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

Which 1? The G35 muffler or DIY axleback?

Kevin319

iTrader: (1)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...1%7C240%3A1318

The axleback. What kind of tools will I need to do this? I assume a jack and wrenches?

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

Those and some PB Blaster for the rust.

Kevin319

iTrader: (1)

Cool, just ordered them. Should arrive in 1-7 business days.

Kevin319

iTrader: (1)

Wait I just noticed PB Blaster and WD-40 are not the same. Would WD-40 do?

Progress

iTrader: (26)

They're both penetrating sprays, one (PB Blaster) is just better than the other.

ChrisMan287

iTrader: (34)

Yeah PB Blaster is better on rust which is what the problem is gonna be. It'll also help if the car is warmed up (from my experience).
