Got it today and installed, took about an hour, looks good and sounds ricey only when full throttle. For the money I thought it was a good deal. I was suprised at how heavy the stock system was and how crimped the one piece of exhaust is. I did hear/notice the Injen CAI with the new exhaust.

Post some pics

 

And sound/video clips to hear the pipes for ourselves.

 

I can take some pics, should have done it before I put it on the car. They will be installed pics. Not sure how to do the sound clips, what equipment do I need for sound?

 

your camera, just put it on video... I can host it for ya if you need a host.

 

Cool, I will try to do that tonite/tomorrw.
Awaitng the results of your secret mod.....Still tomorrow?

 

yea, it don't look like the pulley will make it in this week, is on back order. if it does I will install both up and back to the dyno I go..

 

I know I am from the mustang world but I could get all three pullies for approx $100, how in the world does just the u/d crank pulley cost so much???

 

"Import"

 

Ahhhh...Still find it hard to spend $180 on one pulley. I never see them used, either...

 

Drove the car to work today and it seemed to rev freeer/easier, not too loud/much different than stock.

 

did u try to do the video clips .

make sure to get a clip will your ddriving and a drive by sound

 

its a hidden mod that no one really talks about, but a few people here have it..

I'm also getting it soon, once CE gets stock in..

 

I just searched ebay like a **** for SS exhaust for the max and nothing comes up as a whole system

 

Mmmm Pictures....

 

Ok, Ok-do a search on ebay for 04-05 nissan maxima exhaust and it should be the top one, he has another one listed for $419 plus $60 shipping. I will try to get the pics today/tonight.

 

Hopefully here are the pics of the stock catback with the big crimp and some shots of the new system

Looks like you cut off some bumper above that right muffler. I wish my greddys sat up a lil higher.

 

I did not mess with the bumper. Not a real big fan of the huge tip but for $480.....

 

It takes away from the classy look of the Max but everyone has their preference.

 

i like the look...reminds me of greddy.

 

Im not a fan of the sewer system look but to each his own. Anything to get rid of that ridiculous crimp in the exhaust.

 

why is there a crimp in that section anyways?

 

I am in agreement with all of you that do not like the sewer pipe tips but other than that the price/quality are excellent. I would recommend this as an alternative to the more expensive exhausts out there.

 

its a way to restrict the power of this car, from the box they don't want you to take the car to its limits..

 

ah makes sense. thought it was some sorta clearance issue under the car. (haven't looked under there yet)

 

Wow!! nice looks like a photocopy of the Greddy I have....sans the laser Greddy emblems on the tips. Nice...how about some videos.

 

Would you be so kind as to measure the outside diameter of the inlet to your exhaust tip?(The smaller necked down area between the tip and the muffler).

I was thinking Borla has a couple of options to replace the "sewer pipe". For this price it might be worth changing it.

Thank you for any assistance!

Great pics, info, and especially the crimped piece. Weren't you afraid of loosing some low end torque by buying ebay stuff ?? Or is that only when buying inexpensive headers ? Was looking at some of the dyno charts from members and many lost low end torque. Or is it because torque is moved forward on graph?

 

From what I have read it does not matter what exhaust you buy, low end grunt will suffer. Looking at the exhaust on ebay vs Greddy I think it is the exact same thing sans the logo engraved and $200. I really can't say if it hurt/helped because I already had a CAI and a Y pipe before the cat back. From the limited driving I have done since the cat back install the engine seems to rev easier so I am not sure if I lost any low end grunt. I may dyno it soon just to see where I am. Keep in mind the car only has 1600 miles on it, hasn't even had it's first oil change!

 

Not my style, but for the price can't really complain.

 

Wow its looks great!

 

The look will grow on you. I've had my Greddy's for 2.5 yrs and have been so happy with them that I don't even like the look of the stock setup anymore...

 

Back from the dead...

 

sometime the only different in products is the signature (hence the extra $200)

 

I concur....

 

greg hazlett, do you know what the diameter is at the red arrow?

thanks

 

I will check and get back to you.

 

outlet might be the same as the 2.5" inlet...

 

I measured it this AM using a flexibale semstress style tape, it is between 7 1/12 and 7 3/4 inches OD.
