Its not anymore.... I really WOULD NOT recommend removing the factory resonator, unless your having a smaller one put on. The factory piece is aluminum and once they cut it off it CANNOT be reused. But if you like the sound (as I do now) Its your baby!

 

Had my flows installed today! Sounds sweet. A little loud at low rpms, like taking off without stompin it. Im going not to take pics and make a short video. Where do I post them. Cardomain?

 

You can post them here and cardomain.

 

Well if pufile works here is the vid and some pics. I have some vids of inside the car but I have to shave them down to 10kb or less.

Very nice pictures. Did you have to do any welding? Later Warren

 

Everything was welded in. Took the factory resonator out (replaced with a magnaflow one) from there back is custom bent and welded. They had to make a y pipe for the split in the back. The only thing that bothers me is taking off with the changing of the gears its gets a little loud, after you level out it sounds great. Only option I have is to install another resonator, so then I would have 2. I am not sure if thats the way I want to go. ????

 

I am not a pro at this but I think you should have left the OEM resonator in to see how loud the new setup was. Later Warren

 

This has nothing to do with this tread. How are you doing? cernmax cut 2" off the shaft. Chk out my new mods on this org. Later Warren

 

I still have it and the muffler place said that they could put it back in but I would sacrifice performance. I like the sound just can get loud in about 3 or 4 gear until you level out. Once your going you can hardly hear it.

 

Is it the pic, or does that hang extremely close to the ground?

 

Damn, that is one mean sounding car. Sounds like my roommate's 02 mustang. But meaner and deeper. Damn, i'm jealous. Nice mod Sklyersmax.

 

Looks great man.... they seem a little uneven, but then again, I'm only looking at pictures... nice work on the ride overall...

 

Yeah its lower to get under the axel. Remeber the factory is flattened there, and the major crimp in the factory exhaust.

 

Skyler do you have the info for which resonator you installed. Mine is all stock from the mufflers back and it is quite a bit quieter that your video. Maybe I need to do a vid in my garage and see if it's at all close to yours...
Mine are a bit uneven as well, KC agreed it's the muffler not the install. All 3 of ours are similiar...

 

I am not sure JS but I will find out for you.

 

Thanks! I might have to do an add on...

 

OK I know this thread has probably been on this earth longer then I have, but iddint want to start a new thread to ask this question.

I basicly went the "make your own catback" for the car because a while ago I was anxious and removed the resonator. Since i figured I was already that deep I took sp2 mufflers from my friends car that got wrecked and had them welded on today. It sounds really freakin insane I have to say, and I disconnected battery and recalibrated system and the car runs like its on crack.
Only problem is the sound may be a bit overwhelming...I see people talking about putting smaller resonators on...how much do these resonators help and is there any other alternitive to the loud in cabin droaning?

 

At least our sewer pipes look straight and IMO opinion, sound / perform just as good if not BETTER...



LES Rules...

 

Get the Magnaflow resonator. I had my stock resonator removed, and drove w/ that for a while. My expecting wife, w/ extra sensitive ears, requested that I do something about the "noise", so I installed the Magnaflow. The car idles like whispers, and at 2-3k RPM sounds quiter than stock. But WOT is a different story (still deep and smooth). I'm on stock mufflers, but w/ all new piping.

 

I put in carpet padding under all the floor and walls of trunk area including lid. Helped a lot and was $20.

 

Slow day at the court house? You've had some free time lately; made a spoiler, recarpeted your ride. I'm planning on y-pipe as well when the TS ECU is done, thanks to Tek. I still want the car to purr quietly, until I smash the pedal.

 

Which y-pipe are you planning on getting? I'm waiting to get the Redlinemax one but it's taking a bit longer than expected....

Free time? Deus has been hanging with Dr. Phil haven't you heard????

 

Yeah, I saw the post. Paula, eh?

I havent decided on the y-pipe. That's not true. I almost bought it today from CE, then my phone rang so I didn't complete the order. Any major diff on the Redlinemax? Thread hijacking in progress

 

Not sure, it's still in the works...we're getting bad at hi-jacking these days!!!
(that's OK, this thread is almost a year old anyways!!!)

 

RH: U going to the Perfmance Nissan meet next week?

 

I have a meeting in Irvine, bright and early Saturday morning.

 

Irvine??? that's where GA is...

Listen, I left my umbrella in the theater next to the hotel that's on the road right off the highway sone time back...can you pick it up for me?!?!?

 

Irvine, CA. Which hotel?

 

I think the meet goes til 3. How long is that meeting?

 

9am til 5pm

Why can't they move the meet 2 weeks? I'll make it then for sure...

 

sorry for post stealing... but since im new i cant start a new thread... and also since u guys are talkin about exhausts... i just got my self a 06 SL i was just wondering if anyone had tried to put the 4 door g35 exhaust??? i like the sound of g35's and well will i get the same sound??

 

Cool to see new members. Welcome. There are a couple of good exhaust options made for our Maximas. Y-pipes, Greddy, Stillen, Cattman, Magnaflow. I haven't seen anyone try to adopt a G35 exhaust system.....yet.

 

I don't remember, but there was a Hooters next door.

 

A year later but I finally got my set off ebay.

i like this king of end....

I think its better to get a properly made exhaust system rather than slapping mufflers on.

 

Well, it depends on what your trying to do. I'm not racing, nor do I push my ride hard. I'll leave that stuff to the youngn's. 265 is enough for me, without changing all the other pipes. There is nothing wrong with "slapping on" a better looking muffler and achieving a nice sound.

 

Post pics when you get them on

 

I like the look of them but at $149 each you could of had a whole ebay ss exhaust system for a couple of more bucks

 

But not that muffler.
