Got an 07 Max...

First of all, not even sure how a aftermarket exhaust would sound on the 07, with the cvt....any ideas?

Second, i'd like to get the G or FX35, more so the G exhaust sound.

I would have searched but for some reason, most if not all my functionality on this site is limited.....why is that?

 

You need to donate to search, read the stickies.

 

A search is actually a very difficult function for an Internet server to perform. Imagine taking every single post ever made on the forums and reading through it, word by word, for what you're looking for. That's why you have to donate to search -- to help pay for server upgrades and maintenance.

As for what you are looking for... First, a CVT would have absolutely no effect on how the exhaust sounds. Exhaust sound depends on the engine and the exhaust, and nothing else. If you hear an exhaust on any other 6th gen, it will sound the same on your car.

Second, you can make your car sort of sound like a G35 or FX35 by using the resonator, catalytic converter, and muffler from either of those vehicles. Just keep in mind that you'll never get it exactly like that because certain differences in how the Maxima and the G35/FX35 are made will prevent you from using their full exhaust systems.

 

Actually, you shouldnt flame him. The search button doesn;t work unless you are a doner for .org if not you cannot search. As for the question about the 07 nobody actually asked it yet but i have my stillen exhaust at home just waiting on the car to be finalize on the paper work so i can put it on. But i have a guesstimate on how it should sound like. The rum should be continous unlike the other max because of the CVT. There is no gear change on it so the sound should be continous. Just my guess but i should find out soon. Maybe in 2 weeks. I will try to post a sound clip on it. hopefully everything goes well. As for the fx exhaust sound. This is already a highly discuss topic but it is known that if you just take out your muffler , it should should just like a fx or a g. Good luck and happy modding.

 

I don't see any flaming...

I agree. Keep the rum flowing.

That's not about how the exhaust sounds. That's just how the tone goes up and down as the load and revs change with each gear ratio. At a certain RPM under a certain amount of load, ANY Maxima exhaust will sound the same, no matter what kind of transmission you have.

 

Yea, but that was what i was meaning about the sound. Hearing the gear shifts, since there are none, just a continuous rumble.

Ok guys, appreciate the info.

I NEVER read forum rules, lmao. GUILTY!!

But I got some cash, i guess i can donate, show my appreciation for the GB!!! Even though i haven't got in one yet.

I am also aware that u know exhaust/converter/headers and so on impact the sound....

I guess i should have phrased my question better....as in more so what BRAND/MODEL does the best reproduction.

Sorry again!

 

That is something I was always bitter about, why couldnt they do that exhaust for the max.....it should have that same nice tone as the infinity.

 

I now have the FX45 with the 4.5 V8

HELL YEAH that exhaust gives me chills everytime I hit the gas - LOVING it!

Back to the original question - my Max had the Stillen Intake and Greddy Catback system and it sounded great.

It doesn't sound like the FX but it still has a mean tone.

 

HELL YEAH, if you ever write that car off like Zorgon or anything unfortunate like that. DIBS ON EGINE AND ECU AND TRANNY

TEE HEE HEE

.....All that cna fit in the Max?

 

Okay... Think of it this way.

When you talk, and you want to sound a certain way, do you change the words you say? No... You change how your vocal chords and mouth work to produce those words.

Similarly, if you want to change how a car sounds, you don't worry about the transmission. All the transmission does is affect the pitch of the tone that the engine produces (i.e. how high or low it is). How that tone sounds is entirely up to the intake, cams, and exhaust system.

That's why transmission type doesn't matter when you're picking an exhaust.

 

You should stop commenting because i think your a little off what he is trying to get at. The CVT will sound like a boat, no gear change, so straight hummmmmmmmming. I drove the 07 max and i liked everything but the CVT i felt very un easy about the thing, but i did notice a little better pick up when pushing on the gas. Any ways the cvt will effect the sound by not letting you get the gear shift moments, that would be all i think i would notice. Enjoy the car and enjoy your modding.

 

Okay. Give me an example of how a particular exhaust could sound good on an auto or manual but not on a CVT, or vice versa.

 

CVT still has manual mode, if you worry about sounding like stuck in one gear.

 

If you continue to read on in my post you would have seen that i gave the example with the mono tone from a boat, with the cvt.

When i made my comment i intended on getting you on the right track. So dont flame a hole in your pants.

And if you still have a problem go vent in a room that applies to you, because if you stop reading into flaming the poor guy and see what he was trying to ask you would know what he really was asking!!!

 

Okay. Since you clearly know more about CVTs and exhausts and not flaming than I do, you help him out. I'm going to go find people who speak above the second grade level.

 

1. the exhaust difference between a max and g is determined by heads, cam, timing, valve lift, etc. not any pipes, mufflers, resonators, etc. you won't get the sound without the engine itself.

2. whoever mentioned just taking off the muffler..... that'll just sound like you have a 19 year old rusted out dented beater with unmatched wheels.

3. the only change you'll see by adding any exhaust will just be louder than it is stock, for the most part.

 

YOU are the one missing the point, and a second grader could probably teach you something about listening before you open your mouth.

No one is arguing that the tranny makes any difference in the exhaust sound -- at a given rpm/throttle opening/load/etc.

The point is that the CVT radically changes (totally uncouples, actually) the engine speed vs road speed relationship, thereby greatly effecting the way the car sounds going down the road.

As an '07 owner, I can tell you that even with the very quiet stock exhaust the monotone droning of the engine is mildly annoying when running at larger throttle openings. I believe it would be miserable with a louder exhaust system, no matter how sweet the exhaust might sound otherwise.

The greatest singer in the world would not be very pleasing to listen to if they only sang one note.

 

I understand that a CVT car holds tones and will change how you experience the sound of the exhaust. All that means is that, when you're selecting an exhaust for a CVT car, you have to place a very strong emphasis on a lack of drone and minimizing the number of frequency ranges at which the sound resonates loudly in the cabin. Those are factors that you could observe in any car, regardless of transmission type. You would just have to pay more attention to those things if you were hearing the exhaust on an auto or manual because they would only show up for moments at a time, but they will be there.

 

Man the Maxima would FLY (320hp V8) if all that could be adapted to fit under the max

 

Anyone have sound clips of the Cattman exhaust on a 6th gen? I am considering it, as the Greddy is a bit to awkward looking, but I would like to confirm that the Cattman is not extremely loud.

 

Loudness is subjective, here are some clips http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....=cattman+sound

 

The car will be louder and will rev like a motorboat. That is not desirable in my opinion.
