Any fitment issues on an 02 I35? Have enough for the Megan but after hearing about the drone, decided I'm gonna save up for the Cattman

I think he was saying Megan was loud too btw. Can you pm me about the cattman 2.5 for sale? Pics and info? Thanks

Check the 5/5.5gen for sale section.

No different fitment issues for the I30/35. Same car as the Maxima. The I just had a nose job and butt lift.

Ok. Still debating on 2.5 or 3, but know I want cattman, especially with the new product coming out soon

I was stating that the Megan sad obnoxiously loud with headers. Cmax had told me that the cattman 2.5 was louder than his 3". My cattman 3" is so much quieter than the Megan. When I replaced my stock main cat with the fastcat, it made my 3" volume perfect.

Decibel meter seems to have been delivered but not in my possession......got to USPS now, maybe a case of mailman theft.....tracking number shows it being delivered 11/24 @ about 11:37 am.....no where's to be found.....I hope I don't have a theiving neighbor!!!!!

Ummm? 2 x 2.5" exhaust pipes is not equivalent to a 5" diameter pipe! Not even close

We've got 8 orders for the next batch of 3" catbacks, just need a few more to begin production.

Update decibel meter stuffed in outgoing mail side of my lockable mailbox and no letter from the carrier either that she did that....We don't check that side/compartment just the incoming mail side....anyway I'll side if we can get reading at the following with the 6" vs 4" round resonators:
1. Cold start up
2. Warm idle
3. In-Cabin 20 mph
4. " " 40 mph
5. " " 60 mph
6. " " 65 mph
7. " " 70 mph
8. " " 75 mph
9. " " 80 mph
10. " " 85 mph

Are these going to be with the New resonator or the Original...

Cattman

iTrader: (77)

Yes, the next batch will include the new larger-diameter resonator.

TSelanne

iTrader: (2)

Could you provide any specs on the new resonator please? Length? Diameter? What are you using on the inside? Type of steel?

D Moolah

iTrader: (1)

I would like to get in on this order. I will call tomorrow to get added to the list

Cattman

iTrader: (77)

We're just getting started on the resonator design, so the can configuration isn't determined yet, but I can say we'll use the same high-grade motorcycle exhaust fibreglass and stainless steel that are used in our other exhaust parts.

Cattman

iTrader: (77)

I'm sure I've missed long sections of this thread, but I hadn't noticed any discussion about including a cutout. Although we're incorporating a larger-diameter resonator body, the system will still be unrestricted end-to-end and I don't see how a cut-out upstream from the resonator (where a cutout would typically be) would make that much more power.

Cattman

iTrader: (77)

I'll look forward to talking with you, leave a message if I'm too far from the phone to pick it up. There's no upper limit to the number of 3" catback orders.

We'll be glad to start taking resonator orders. The price has not yet been determined, but every buyer will know what it is before any money changes hands.

I think this is gonna be awesome...when Mywife leaves in the morning and I'm outside watching her pull off from the driveway in awe in how freakin quiet it is now that I've got more miles and more carbon build-up in the resonator interior....I measured the exhaust decibel level in an enclosed 2 car garage and it was lower than my 4th 2.5" outside in the driveway at idle....I'll be doing some test and posting the numbers in the next few days....This next Cattman catback should really say alot on how civil this 3" can really be.....

DOODOOCHIP

so there is no drone with cattman?

CMax03

iTrader: (3)

For the A/T guys with 3" Catbacks there's a little in the 2000-2500 rpm range regardless of MPH......but compared to most aftermarket high Performance catbacks Cattman kills them hands down....The funny thing is the drone isn't really audible outside the car, but in cabin it is..... In 30-60 Mph traffic when tipping into the throttle and 65-72 mph on the freeway there's a zone with some drone but tolerable....not annoying to me....that's where the enlarged resonator comes in to play, to reduce the drone volume or eliminate it all together!

How much larger is the Cattman muffler vs OEM? I have a Curtis hitch that I use with a bike carrier and it has a bar that goes above the muffler on its way to the frame rail. I'd hate to lose the hitch.

CMax03

iTrader: (3)

They're almost the same size.....Cattman muffler is 19" long x 9.5" wide x 4.5" height while the OEM is 19"L x 11" W x 4.5" H....the Oem muffler is slightly wider than the Cattman that roughly the difference and the flow pattern thru the muffler itself.....Cattman is a straight thru design, while the OEM is a reverse flow with a variable flow flap build inside....(Trick Muffler)

Finally pulled the trigger and added myself to the list for the exhaust. Glad I was able to speak to the mastermind behind it all! Thanks Brian!

What are the possibilities of getting the full exhaust. I know this is a cat back only thread but I am interested in headers, y-pipe, and fast cat as well.

Here's a Cattman vs an Oem 3rd Gen and 3rd Gen vs 5th Gen vs 5th Gen vs Cattman:

CMax03

iTrader: (3)

Performed a short db test on my 4th and 5th gen exhaust systems (5th Gen equipped w/Hybrid Resonator):
1. Warmed up idle inside garage -4th Gen: 68db/ 5th Gen: 64db
2. Warmed up idle in-cabin- 4th Gen: 58db/ 5th Gen: 56db
more too come.........

Chris Gregg

iTrader: (59)

56-64 db (translation) approximate to a normal conversation (60db). 56 db on the lower end. Nice, very nice indeed.

Drew up a jig to be manufactured by my employer...today and hopefully it will be complete by this Wednesday or this weekend.....I'll make about 4 or 5 Hybrid Resonators, test fit them and move on....I may supply each one of them with a poly hangar as well.....estimate for jig just came in and they're talking $500 for company time to fabricate this jig.....Well F**K them! I'll order the metal from online and do all the fab work and let my welders weld the hell out of it......My employer trying to discourage my creativity....

Found material online for less than $100.........Welding should be less than $60......My employer's a joke just trying to discourage people's creative ingenuity.....What a joke!!!!!

If your wver looking for the header flanges to make headers i know where you can buy them at.

CMax03

iTrader: (3)

You will need to find a flange supplier that does VQ's.....All I did was search google and found it.......

Maaaaaaaan, I want the pre-orders to be filled so this can start production!!! I got my taxes ready to file on the 30th, got my deposit sitting in my account waiting for Brian to ****** it! These videos got me so hyped, all I think about while driving is how it'll be with a performance exhaust finally.

A couple questions though. With your Magnaflow resonator, is this pretty much how we can expect the sound to be with the new design from Cattman, even though they arent using a magnaflow resonator? Also, does the muffler come looking like how it is in your video, or does yours just need a polish? Not being a d1ck lol, just asking so I know what to expect

Chris Gregg

iTrader: (59)

Good questions. Brian has not been here to discuss and provide those details.

Updates Brian?

Cmax: Got any of those 5 fabbed up yet?
