Ive been talking with them the past couple days... they dont have plans for a full cat sys. as of yet...? The only system I can find is the Greddy. Im not sure I like how the outputs arent centered. Ive ordered new Magnaflows and hopefully my muffler guy can help with the rest. I found an amazing deal on Magnaflows BTW, if anybody's interested.

I talked to the guys from Borla in person at a shop that was having a vendor day and they said they have no plans to make a kit for the Max. He said "nobody asks for exhaust for a maxima!!"
So I walked away knowing I had my Magnaflows already...
I remember reading that Maganflow was looking for a Maxima to make up a kit on, I checked the site and I couldn't find anything. Maybe someon local should call them. Too bad I have mine already, they are just blocks from my work...

So how do you go about getting the exhaust done? Do you order the mufflers from magnaflow and then get a shop to bend you a system?
The mags cost 150 a piece
The work/piping cost another 180
I think I got a good deal all way round.

Yeah, true...
Only a fraction of Maxima owners actually add aftermarket exhausts to their cars. The majority of the people buy these for the comfort and not "racing performance."
That's why I sold my eclipse and bought the max...
However, I'm sure we'll be seeing more parts as time moves on

While were talking about exhausts, I've come to learn that the exhaust on the Max is not Stainless Steel. Can't believe it.... big disappointment.... If this is true, then I'll be looking at a new one soon enough down the road. Does anyone know if you can get a factory stainless steel replacement??? Cost???

Stainless stell is the only reason the aftermarket cat backs cost $800 instead of $250 and is too expensive to use from the factory, as well as uneccesary. It would be stupid to replace your exhaust just to get stainless steel.

The 6th gen Max has an exhuast system made of stainless steel tubing and the cat is stainless (The resonator is galvanized steel). My 1990 Maxima SE had a stainless steel system. My son's 2000 Max has a stainless steel exhaust system. My 1996 Ford P/U has stainless exhaust.
The truth is, every decent car or truck built these days (and for the last 15 years) has a stainless steel exhaust system. Stainless steel lasts forever, never rusts out and is therefore easier for the factory to warrantee.
Just because your exhaust system isn't all "shiny", doesn't mean it's not stainless steel. Polishing it up to look like chrome is what costs money.

Now both Meineke and Midas are full service "Auto Centers", doing everthing from brakes to oil changes. Do you think that the fact that most cars these days have stainless steel exhaust systems has cut into their profits a little bit? They didn't expand the scope of their business because they were making a killing just doing mufflers!
