What do you think of the stillen exhaust
I always see people talking about the HKS or other exhaust systems, but nobody seems to talk about the stillen exhaust(muffler). I just bought one myself and I am pretty satisfied with it. Anything wrong/complaints about it?

Nope. I got rid of my Magnaflow when I added my Y-pipe. My exhaust was just TOO FREAKING LOUD for my taste with the Y-pipe, 2.5" piping, and a straight-through muffler. I ended up putting my stock rear section back on. PERFECT!

Which exact muffler did you use for the resonator, the 4" round body?

Problem number one . . . Stillen doesn't make a B-pipe for the 5th Gen Maxima. If they did, I can sum up what your exhaust system would sound like in just one word:
EXPENSIVE!

The setup sounds wonderful. It purrs at low rpm and growls at high rpm. It's never obnoxiously loud and it looks completely stock, so it never attracts the wrong kind of attention.
Yes, the 4" round body appears to be correct. I'd suggest you get the longest one Magnaflow makes that will fit.

I put my powertech on.. nice rumble... I will now wait for a Y pipe to be made for a 2K2, and I will have a custom catback made.. Maybe I will wait for the Frankencar Exhaust to be made....I'm sure it will be good !

RPMS THEN AFTER IT HAS A NICE GROWL WITH THE INTAKE AT 3000=RPMS I BOUGHT IT OFF OF AN ORG MEMBER FOR $200 AND TOOK IT TO MIDAS COST $40 TO INSTALL. I DONT THINK ANY MUFFLER WOULD BE WORTH $500= THOUGH THAT IS PRETTY STEEP FOR MY WALLET
