i have them on my truck and my bro's truck... but well v8's and flowmaster go hand in hand... DEEP tone! gotta love it.

but i was wondering if anyone has a flowmaster on their max or any other 6 cylinder that i could get a soundclip or even feedback on how it sounds...

i want it to sound nice not horrible like most of the imports or ricers around town... flowmaster has a soundclip on a Teg R and surprisingly it doesn't seem too bad... i am trying to picture the max will sound in between that and my truck.

dont do it way too loud my friend had it and he swithced it in 2 days

loud doesn't bother me! lol i have 2 trucks with them! both are 351m/400 blocks with custom cam specs pulling about 475/525 trust me loud doesn't matter... nothing is as loud as them... i am wondering about tone... but thanks for the info

geomax

then go for it but you are going to loose top end big time

trinity000

honest question how so? 2" is 2" yes the flow well but nowhere near the likes of the dynomaxes so i will still remain plenty of pressure and come to a good exhaust gas velocity... or so i think

otherwise what do you recommend to get a nice deep tone without that ricer sound... i also hate how most hondas exhuast has that pop as it idles down... why can't it be smooth? i think that bothers me more then the tone (most of the time)

In a word . . . Magnaflow! And don't worry, trinity000. It isn't possible to make a Maxima sound ricey.

BTW, I auditioned a Flowmaster on my Maxima once upon a time. It sounded a little too deep for my taste. I liked the tonality of the Magnaflow better. And no, I don't have my Magnaflow any more. I went back to the stock muffler when I installed my Y-pipe. The combination of the Y-pipe and the Magnaflow sounded good, but it was just TOO FREAKING LOUD!!!

deep is good! i like deep! i am asking all this cause my stock muffler on my 95 is rusting through so if i gotta replace that i am going all the way... full Stainless y-pipe, and custom stainless catback from a local shop that did my truck... all said and done about $550

i really wish i could hear the flowmasters and magnaflow on a maxima... and how deep is deep and why was it bad for you?

It just didn't sound like what I thought a Maxima ought to sound like. It sounded like a 57 Chevy with a 409 CID engine! Too weird for me.

You should be able to hear them both. Just go to a reputable muffler shop that sells both Magnaflows and Flowmasters. If you don't have one where you live, take a drive to Los Angeles and I'll hook you up.

LOL i live in RI a bit of a drive if i may say so.... but yumm i like the 57 chevy with a 409 sound PERFECT!!!! thanks man that is what i wanted!!! you answered my question right there!!! now what will it sound like with a non stock y-pipe hmmm ah well can always buy a resonator and tone it down some.... LOL

I installed a resonator . . . a 26" Magnaflow resonator to be precise . . . but it wasn't enough. I still ended up going back to my OEM muffler. But what the hell. There are guys around here running Y-pipes with test pipes and Greddy EVO catbacks. And I can't think of an exhaust system that would be much louder than that. But they like it. So it's all a matter of taste . . . and what your local police department will let you get away with, of course!

Anyway, enjoy your Flowmaster!
