Hey guys..

I have an 04 Max SL, and I want to put on a muffler/exhaust. I'm not looking for a full system, just something I can install to make it sound better. I looked on eBay at Magnaflow, Catback, Nismo... etc. and I'm not sure which one to get. What do you guys think?

 

Catback is a brand?

I vote Nismo.

 

hahah...

greddy sp2.

 

LOL I have no idea if it's a brand or not... all I see on ebay is Catback exhaust, yada yada...

How much do exhausts like that cost? i'm looking for one that has 2 tips on each side... or would 1 tip on each side be better???

 

I'd leave 'em stock if I were you kids.

 

Why do you prefer stock?? just wondering

 

The tips are just for look..Catback means/ is a full exhaust with no catalytic converter..which is illegal, but no one really cares, just during inspection you need to know some people..

 

I have Cattman exhaust and love it

 

Na,,, i don't wannsa go THAT far lol. Few years ago, I woulda said i know people... but now everybody's goin by the book. I really only wanna change from the back part of my system... not the cat, etc.

 

Deus... Did you change the whole exhaust system... or just the back part behind the cat conv.??

 

The Catback system actually means from the catalytic back. It's not illegal cause your not removing the catalytic converter, just a system from the "cat.- back", hence behind the Cat. BTW I personally have the Nismo Catback and love it but your choice. You are at the right place asking the right questions. And before you purchase something once you make up your mind make sure you come here and find out if it really fits....

 

I have a different y pipe plus I have the Cattman catback.

 

love my greddy...

 

I watched the videos on youtube and google with the diff mufflers. The magnaflow and the nismo sound good... except it's on video, you know. So, i'm not sure if that's how it is in reality (better or worse). But I'll check out the prices and i'll post on here what my options are. :-)

This is my old setup , I now run a true dual setup , no vids yet of the new setup

 

 

I do have the nismo now. The cattman is much more aggressive if that helps.

I vote Nismo also. Love mine..

LOL. you know how this goes bro.

04MAXXXFreak it kind of all depends what you want to do, you want a different sound? Looks? You may just want to get some different mufflers and call it good. Check out the classified section.

Here's a shot of my Nismo exhaust

 

I would say Greddy SP2 but I'm startin' to want quad tips again.

 

I thought I'd like the quad tips better...but after having Cattman and Nismo...both look great. Nismo is more subtle noise level, more like a 350z. Cattman is very mean, aggressive, and loud.

 

I love my Cattman exhaust! It quieted down a great deal after a week or so of driving and looks/ sounds amazing!

 

I <3 my Greddy SP2... but I'd guess, the best exhaust is the one you can afford.

 

It's weird how all the video clips I wanted on you tube, and been watching for a week... they turn out to be members here lol. It's a small world, i tell ya... I like the Cattman and nismo sound. Of course I don't want anything ghetto to sound like a ride rocket lol I'm definitely not gonna treat mine like an integra or a civic or anything...

I'm either gonna choose Nismo or Cattman.. I like both of the sounds

 

sorry to hack..but whats the best setup to get a g35/350z tone?

 

The tricky part will be finding a Nismo, as far as I know they are gone. It's really for the Altima but has to be modified to fit our cars. The Nismo's most folks are talking about on here were "pre-modified" by Berk for our cars.

 

Get a g35/350z??

 

that sucks ... I'll look into the Nismo thing and see what I find

 

LOL Deus... I think he meant to "get the G35/350Z sound" lol... I hope that's what he meant

 

Im sure thats what he meant. But it did answer his question correctly as the "best" way to get a g35/350x tone. Just a little July 4th humor . . .

 

lol we try to go for the G35/350Z lol

 

greddy, cattman, and nismo is what just about everyone uses on here. from what i understand

Cattman = loud and aggressive

Nismo = quiet but sporty until you floor it

Greddy = is similar to the nismo but a bit different tone at higher RPM

im also trying to decide what exhaust to buy (almost sure im picking Nismo, if i can get a hold of one, wish it had the 4 tips tho) if not a cattman

 

One side note, I've heard of loss of low end power with the Greddy. I believe it's due to the larger diameter pipe they use. I believe you will gain whp with the Cattman, I know you gain HP with the Nismo. I dynoed it when I added the Cattman Y-Pipe (highly recommended) and the Nismo exhaust. http://www.6thgenmaxima.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5159

IMO I would have liked to stay dual tip...

 

If Y pipe was added, doesn't it mean the cat convert has to be taken out??? I'm tryin to avoid that so I don't go through hell smogging the car... it's CA so their emission laws r a B***h...

 

Cattman has a y pipe with an optional cat so its smog legal

 

Thanks Deus... just what I needed to know. Hell... the legal drug dealin business ain't payin enough to get all these mods..

I guess I need to expand my field to illegal drug dealin

 

I tried to go to the Cattman website... and they don't even have an exhaust for a 6th gen Maxima... ????????????
