nice deal, free exhaust for just letting them put one on your car.

 

ya thats wat usually happens when you lend the vendors use yo cars for prototype testing, theyll usually give u the part that they are trying to invent for that car... it would be cool if i live in so cal but i live in no cal all they way up in frisco... no can do!!

 

just drop it off for a few weeks and steal someone elses car for the time being. The exhaust will run probably 800+ for the setup not with installation, It would be worth spending 200-300 on a rental.

 

What do they mean by confirmation email? like if u send your info, not to expect a email from them? I have some family out there that could probably take the car, is that possible to do or does the owner have to do it?

 

dey probably will take the car as long as you tell them who there person is dropping off the car and juss show some id or something... you should contact them to find out...

 

Interesting ... no takers yet in So Cal.

 

Yea guess not. Some people are just crazy. even if i lived freaking 100 miles away from the place i would drop my car off for a free exhaust for sure... Batmobile is looking for a car in the SoCal Area as well to draw templates for overlays.

 

All these deals happening, I WISH I had a 09!!!

 

I wish you did to cause we might cat someone in the cali area to actually get these things tested and done. lol

 

i sent them email today lets see if they get back at me

 

Awesome hopefully they do. Do you think you would be able to spare 20 min more of your time and take your car to BatMobile so that he can draw up a template for overlays for our headlights, taillights, etc.??

 

yea i can do that on one of my days off work i emailed him already to see whats up......

 

Thank you very much. I am jealous, I wish I lived in CA, for more reasons than one... I can't wait to see what they come up with, I personally don't like the way the STILLEN exhaust looks at all. I may even go as far to say I think the stock tips look better. Something about the STILLEN set-up just doesn't do it for me. Def keep us in the loop with what goes down with this Greddy deal.

 

Sweet... can't wait for it to come out, but I'll be patient :P

 

YES PLEASE SOMEONE DROP CAR OFF!!! he does excellent job with those vinyls (crys like a girl) lol

he got the skyline right? in white?

 

yeah i feel like the stillen sounds DECENT and it looks fugly (not a hater @ all) i like to have a manly exhaust not a girly one

+1 for keeping stock over stillen, i said this once and ill say it again i wish magnaflow had exhaust for 7th gen

 

I agree with you on the "manly exhaust". I also appreciate a nice big set of tips.

 

I would want to keep the same size tips as the stock. It just looks weird when you downsize the tips, the bumper isn't designed for it.

 

Yeah, the size of the tips looks awesome/intimidating for someone behind you, I've had Stangs run up behind me only to slow down and think twice before trying to run me.

 

Bump for hopefull updates

 

Bump for update.

 

Magnaflow, I thought we were looking to DECREASE drone? lol

Magnaflow mufflers are notorious for their deep resonating, and droning tone.

 

Thats not what that hot chick on Spike TV says

 

 

Ok so I went ahead and spoke to my buddy who works at Greddy and they recently finished up a prototype greddy exhaust on an 09 Maxima and was told that production will be done and ready to sell by End of September to Mid October. So i'm excited to hear that Greddy will have an exhaust for the 09 Maxima. He told me that the exhaust looked Bad-*** on the Maxima. No tiny tips either, nice and aggressive tips. Awesome

 

Great news thanks alot for the update....by any chance can you get us some pics, im excitied to see what it looks like now lol

 

WORD!

 

Awesome Possum! Thanks for the update!!

 

Means that you would have been selected. Anyone have any idea on how big the exhaust tips will be?

The small exhaust tips are the only reason why I won't buy the set-up from Stillen, I'm sorry but IMO the small tips just look ghey. No offense to anyone.

 

I agree completely. I hope the Greddy exhaust has some beefcake tips. The rear-end of the Max is begging for some giant aggressive tips. I can't wait to see this.... I will most definitely be buying a system if it looks the way I envision it will. This is great news.

 

finally!!! ive been waiting for so long!! almost a year since i got my car now and all i got is the stillen intake!!!! put i kinda hope the exhaust tip is juss like the stock oval!! it looks rite for the car!! and i was wondering if yo buddy from greddy said anything bout titanium tips?? lemme know!!

 

Any updates on this? A prototype photo leak would be nice.... Amp up the hype since the release date is getting closer...

 

I just hope they keep things either stainless or titanium WITHOUT the retarded "Flamed tips." I hate that.

Clean + Simple = Classy

 

What do you mean by Flamed Lips? Like the Greddy Ti-C system? Cause if so, I agree that looks un-good.

 

Yeah, the "Flamed" blue/burnt effect they put on the end of the tips...

 

I'll call Greddy see what they tell me.

 

Nice! Or at least make it an option for those who don't want the riced out Fast and Furious look.

 

What did they say??
