Yup, and a different car all together. I love those posts though... "How can I make my car (x) sound like car y?

There is one way... trade it in and get car y! lol

 

All right fellas. I went through this whole process. The stock resonator is huge for a reason. It does its job very well. I guess it all depends on your tolerance level for the interior noise. Mine was very low. When I had my Magnaflows installed, I took out the stock resonator and had a straight pipe installed in its place. Sound was really good but the drone was killin' me.

Then I had a Magnaflow resonator installed. It cut down the noise but the drone was still there

Model #10436


That lasted for a month before I had the original resonator reinstalled. I value my peace and quiet.

Model #14816 installed

 

So true.

 

I did the same thing except I added a second resonator. Most of my catback exhaust is resonator.

 

Good advice ^^^^

 

Not tryin to steal post. But the site wont let me start new thread. But will this fit my 05 max?? just quick yes or no. Thanx a lot!

This very setup (same phone number) is for sale in the 6th gen for sale forum. That post says it will, but other than that, I don't know. You might want to call him if he is a forum member.

 

Removing the resonator and keeping the stock muffler doesn't imporve the sound. I had that set up for a year. The Altima SE-R mufflers will make your car sound pretty close to the G. They are single tips though.

 

i've had a couple of different exhaust setups. my first set up was the nismo catback which ended up being too loud. next, i went with a cattman y-pipe, 2.5 inch piping to the split, and 22" cattman resonator with the stock mufflers. it wasn't loud at all and made me miss the exhaust sound.

b-pipe is still for sale btw...

i planned on getting the greddy se last year but it was out of production for a few months so i ended pulled the trigger on the ebay catback system. i still have it on my car. i swapped out the tips for some oval resonated ones and painted the mufflers black. it's definitely not as loud as the nismo and it's got the right amount of sound to keep me and the wife happy. i think the only thing "cheap" about it is the price.

ok. so can someone help me?? it wont let me start a new thread. I dont mean to steal this thread. But can someone fix it. lol. also quick question. my 05 maxima with 98000 mi needs cats. whats my options? im in sc soooo.... i dont need cats

 

Catman FTW or if you are $$$ cautious go Racingline...

 

i checked racingline and there all vw. is it possible to just cut the cats out and weld replacement pipe in place? idk what to do. gotta do somethin soon.

 

Is it your cat in the ypipe or the two in the headers?

 

Love your max! Look great!

 

nice

 

no idea.. all i know is sitting at an idle it smells like sulphur outside the car and if you run it hard it smells like rotten eggs/sulphur. i reall wanna just get rid of all of em.

 

i just order some magnaflows but i just PM some guy for a used SE-R exhaust. we'll see if i get the exhaust. so maybe my magnaflow might be for sale

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x0HC...eature=channel I have 9 clips, some are not all that wonderful to watch due to me trying to drive and record at the same time. I have a better camera now and will try and record a better vid if you guys want. I have an ebay exhaust without a the center piece that is pictured above. Looks very clean and sounds amazing. I turn many heads with this car including 350z's. My buddy owns a g35 and wants my ebay exhaust put on his car, so if that doesn't convince you I don't know how else to do it. I will get more clips up.

This would be nice if it was a direct bolt up. This is just a cat that you have to cut a weld in place and add an O2 sensor to. I like the idea of having a different cat but not at the cost installation and part is going to be. Also with 40% better flow, would our stock O2 sensors be able to keep up?

 

ok.. a bit old thread but i have a question.... are the magnaflow 14816 mufflers bolt on or weld on? if it is bolt on, is it easy to do? i have never messed up with an exhaust system before so pardon for the ignorance... thanks guys...

Gollum67>> how does the 14816 exhaust tips stick out from your rear bumper.. if you have a side pic on how it looks, it would really help... because im thinking on getting either the 14816 or the 14805

 

Weld. The muffler shop can adjust so it sticks out as much or as little as you'd like.

 

thanks... the reason why i thought of doing this is this:

30% off on these brands from amazon

magnaflow: MAGFLO30
eibach : EIBACHI3
Borla : BORLASPC
Flowmaster : FLOWMAST
Injen: INJENTEC
Sparco : SPARCVIP

if purchased from direct from amazon (not 3rd party sellers)

free shipping over $25 and tax free in most states

 

You jut have to know what to look for. These will fit the 04-08 Max, just need to extend the pipe like 12 inches I think.

I sure like the sound of the magnaflow, I think that is what I am going with.

 

I was looking at buying this magnaflow for my 04, but I am very new to this stuff, and I dont know if the stock pipes are 2.5 inch inlet? can I buy this muffler and then use my stock tips? would it still sound just as good using stock tips? sorry if this sounds like dumb questions. i want to learn more about this stuff. thanks for any help.
