I currently have headers+ypipe+test pipe and getting the N1 Tsuedo catback w/5.5 gen muffer and i wanted to know will it still be restricted with the 5.5 gen muffler or does it basically all depends on the B-pipe? Just wanna know what users felt with the setup and will I even feel more power or just sound?

 

IMHO that would still be a bit of a bottleneck at the end. It's not only 2.25, but it's a chambered design as well. I have that same catback, and plan to just weld in one, if not two large resonators when I get headers. If it's the ricey muffler you hate, look for a decent 2.5 muffler. just my .02

 

Unless I measured incorrectly, when I installed my eBay cat-back, I measured the OEM exhaust I.D. and it was less than 2". Not even close to 2.25"...


...talking about a bottleneck.

So even with the eBay 2.25" mandrel cat-back, I am very pleased with the upgrade...

 

Don't really know still got the stock exhaust on but dont want something really loud like a fart can or major drone sound and that leads me with either a 3in. Cattman Catback or a Axle HKS Exhaust.

 

i say the best thing to do is weld in an extra resonator and get a quality muffler (Cattman, Apexi, Greddy, etc). because the stock muffler is restrictive, it almost defeats the purpose of going aftermarket with everything else.

 

+1. The Vibrant 1148 muffler looks pretty good, and is flat black for that stealth (or mature) look.
Here's the cheapest I've found it: Vibrant 1148 $119.99

 

i dont think so... IIRC the 5th gen muffler has a flap, get a used cattman rear section

 

i dont think much performance is lossed with a stock muffler, if any

 

thats exactly the muffler i wanted!

 

haha I told you I wasn't lying when I said that stock muffler wasn't going to reach your goals.

And you thought I was just trying to sell you my catback...

 

i mean i knew i was going to eventually change it but its not bothering me right now...

 

Stock B and muffler have been shown to support 247 fwhp IIRC.

 

Just got a 6" catback. Since the 3" is nasty, I'd get the 6.....
LOL.
Didn't you pick up rus's cattman 2.5"?

 

new member and got 02 maxima all stock and would like to know whats the best exhaust to get
