Regardless of whether or not it fits, it's gonna be WAY too expensive! After all, you can purchase a Magnaflow SS muffler INSTALLED for under $150.00.

Just my opinion.

Yeah but whats the sound of the magnaflow. Also im paranoid the shop installing it wont get it fitting PERFECT. Any gains out of the magna flow. I realize realistically the hks will give maybe 2-3 hp gains. The greddy of course will give more as it is catback.

The Magnaflow sounds awesome . . . deep and throaty. And it's great on a Maxima. I had mine on until I installed my Y-pipe. Then my exhaust got too freaking loud for my taste. So I reinstalled my OEM rear section.

No muffler by itself is going to give you a noticeable horsepower increase. Keep in mind that from a performance standpoint, the OEM muffler is already awesome. After all, if it's good enough for a Skyline . . .

Any REPUTABLE muffler shop will be able to do the work for you. Replacing just the rear section is no big deal. Fabricating a full catback is another matter, however.

which one would you go with the 14815 or 14805
Im thinking the 3.5 tips a too short(only 4 inches) which may not me long enough. I think the stock dual tips are close to 6 inches to the back face of the muffler.

I like the 14815 myself. But the nice thing is that a decent muffler shop will have several models to choose from. So you shouldn't have to decide in advance.

Well whatever you decide on, you'll be happy with both the results and the money you saved over the HKS.

Enjoy the ride!
