HKS Exhaust (muffler) - 95-99 Maximas

Don't buy one, it will rust to no end, I was de-modding my car and wondered why my exhaust was getting so loud. The exhaust rusted thru and had peeled open on top like a banana, this only after 2 years or so and after 3 or 4 layers of RUST proof paint. It probably rusted from the inside out.

Don't be cheap, spring the money for a quality made Stainless steel exhaust.

And by the way, its not made of aluminum as I previously thought, its made of cheap tensile steel (cheaper grade than the stock muffler).

Just FYI for those who have one, and for those who want to buy one, biggest waste of $$.

I don't think any muffler is aluminum. They're usually "aluminized" steel. Just cheap steel with a coating.
