Just placed my order with Greg, getting a high flow cat, 2.5" piping, 22" resonator and a dual tip muffler

Can't wait! I will post pics and videos as soon as I get it in and installed..

Except for low end torque on cars with less than about 250hp

Who said the guy wanted a 3"?

OP post vids when your done, you're the first person on the ORG to get the BRM 2.5" that we know of, Congrats!

Cool thang. I would pick one up in 3" but a $500+ exhaust is not on top of my to do list. Congrats! Enjoy it

Looking forward to vids

Greg started building this morning so changing the order isn't gonna happen. I'm happy with 2.5", I don't get why so many people are obsessed with 3" unless you're pushing a lot of boost. I think it will sound great, provide enough of a power increase (I'm not drag racing here lol), and I got it at a fantastic price, Greg hooked me up for the holidays, made an offer I couldn't refuse lol..



Plenty of pics and vids will be posted up as soon as I get the box(es) opened and the exhaust installed! Unfortunately I can't do a sound comparison with OEM vs BRM because the OEM exhaust that's on it now has been chopped by the previous owner (main reason for getting the BRM) so..

Nice! I know Greg personally and this sounds like him. I've been trying to get him to build a 6th gen one for ages. In for pics/vids!

TallTom

Nice! I'm looking forward to the videos.

HOSTvallo

My understanding with 2.5/3", it's pretty much low-end/top-end correct? Even if I add boost later on 2.5" should be fine with about 8-9psi.. not really looking to go beyond that as this is my DD. Saving the build aspirations for my Z32

My point, basically is that the difference is minimal for street use, I don't plan on building a number crunching demon out of the Max.. she's all luxury baby lol :P

Besides, if I want absolute power/top speed I'll buy another R1.. which I may actually do haha.. thanks for the sentiment guys, glad so many are interested, can't wait to get it on and feel her purr.. \m/

Our point is you're choking your car, if you just want an exhaust to have an exhaust then 2.5" is fine, but if you want an exhaust to increase the overall performance of your vehicle then 2.5" is no bueno.

HOSTvallo

Not completely true, it depends on how much of a performance increase I'm looking to gain as well as if the car is naturally aspirated or not. Here's an informative page I found while researching: http://www.cobbtuning.com/info/?ID=3222

I am in no way "choking" my car..

ShocknAwe

iTrader: (3)

No I don't get my info from television. Im pretty sure its common knowledge that if you put to big of an exhaust on your car, depending on your hp numbers, you will lose low end torque. You don't need to research to figure that out

2000_MAXIMA_KING

iTrader: (30)

Choking his car? Are you out of your mind? If a 2.5" is choking the car then with the stock exhaust the car wouldn't even run....

ShocknAwe

iTrader: (3)

If 2.5" is choking your car then I'm in a heap of trouble. I dont plan on going much past 300 and a 2.5" pipe is about all I will need. I live in an emission's area so I wont be able to extract every ounce of power from my exhaust as those who can go the test pipe route

a well rounded 5th gen orger wouldve ordered a 3 inch..

iTrader: (3)

Fixed.

HOSTvallo

You guys are silly.. reminds me of this thread: http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...re-answer.html

IMHO, "well-rounded" would be 2.5".. as 3" would be further right or left of center eh? At any rate I look forward to installing the sissy 2.5" lol, and I'd be more than happy to share my results (sound and quality, not numbers apparently haha) once installed! \m/

Perhaps one day when I go FI I may be interested in 3", but for now I think this will do just fine..

Rods03Max619

iTrader: (5)

Exhaust doesn't matter, when you do headers or test pipe removing you pre cats or main cats then your messing with emissions, are you going the S-RS route.....

HOSTvallo

That did sound nice, yet a little too loud for a DD Max IMO

Still, I'm not looking to lose low-end by getting 3" on a pretty much stock N/A.. I'm not opposed to 3", just not right now.. it kills me, I get it, lol, I'll end up buying two exhausts in the long run IF I decide to chase numbers.. blah blah blah.. I'm trying to be practical here, and 3" isn't practical for the upgrades I have or will have in the immediate future.

I feel like I'm in an iPhone vs Android debate, you can and will never reach common ground when one side is biased and closed off to other opinions.

That being said, you guys with your 3" enjoy them! I'm gonna enjoy my 2.5", I'll be sure to let everyone know I run a puny 2.5" and when (IF) I decide to go further and swap it with a 3" I'll be sure to post about it so I can feel cool too lol

TallTom

Funny thing is, if you bought the BRM 3", everyone would be telling you that you bought the wrong 3" and that Cattman is the only way to go.

I'm looking forward to hearing your exhaust and if there will be any highway drone. I doubt there will be which is perfect.

HOSTvallo

Haha, you're probably right.. lotta haters on here as for the drone (or hopefully lack thereof) we will see, I'll do a cabin video as well as exterior.. pics of it etc.. anyone have a write-up for the process? If not I could take pics of that too and make one.

2000_MAXIMA_KING

iTrader: (30)

That's why this forum is full of ****. People bash respectable people here, bash dynos whether the numbers are good or bad, bash any mod that's not made by Cattman or NWP, bash some people because there post count isn't "high" or there join date isn't at least 5 years old

And usually the guys who do the bashing don't know wtf they are talking about. They bashed ranmas's dyno, they just bashed a cammed dek dyno, they'll bash pretty much anything, sounds like a bunch of silly girls to me Whether "bash" is the right word or not here, OP just ignore the female talk/hormones, you did the right thing in your book and your reasons are valid.

For anyone who thinks having a 3" exhaust is LOUD, I hope to god they don't have an intake cause that would be down right unruly.

Appreciate the support! \m/

You on Nico? Different crowd over there but not too many people frequent the Maxima forums..

iTrader: (30)

No I'm not on Nico, but I do read some threads over there once in a while.

2000_MAXIMA_KING

iTrader: (30)

The thread is about the BRM exhaust, the 3" BRM is LOUD, get the **** out of your eyes

iTrader: (3)

If BRM is made from quality parts the results are going to be the same....

Unless you're claiming BRM is an inferior product... I am not making such claims here...
