so will a y-pipe further increase sound? or will it just be performance?

A y-pipe will add a small increase in volume but nothing dramatic.

Cattman Y-Pipe removes catalytic converter unless you pay extra for one. Most likely that'll increase the noise a tad. I've got one on mine, no issues.

Hey, placed my order yesterday through your website, can't wait to get it. One thing though, I live in Phillipsburg, NJ on shipment address I left out the "b" by accident. Everything else is correct so I don't think it should be an issue. Thanks.

i can't believe they did this. Why couldnt they make an exhaust for the 5.5 gens. The 6th gens already have quality exhaust options.

how do performance numbers look cause it looks like there is still a little crimp in the b-piping...leading to the rear exhaust split. buh it is nice to see that the weight of the resonator has been still removed...lolxz

Haven't had mine dyno'd yet. Its going to be better no matter what, they took the piping up 1/2 inch all the way back (over stock).

I'd have to agree with Hilbe, I got mine in Monday and took a quick look at it today, been away for two days, and it definitely looks to be about 1/2" bigger (piping wise). Looks nice, hopefully by this weekend it should be installed.

Sorry for the delay, yes, the NISMO exhaust WILL fit on the 07-08 Maximas.

Inventory Update: we are down to only 4

Is it possible for them to make a dual tipped exhaust like stock? I love the sound, but I'd prefer that exhaust tip setup similar to Cattman and Magnaflow.

Hey bro..

Get the nismo catback for 02-06 Altima and have it extended 1-2 inches. That's what most people do since the Maxima nismo is not available. I ordered my altima catback few days ago, and I'll have it extended to fit a Maxima. There shouldn't be any issues at all with the fittment once it's extended. Just a suggestion for you, so you don't have to wait till they're available again.

Since the original poster has mentioned that they no longer carry this part, I'll point out that the NISMO exhaust, like the GReddy and some catbacks for the 04-08 Maxima, has a major design flaw that hurts performance in the low-to-mid rpm range.

The b-pipe starts out at 2.5" diameter, which is fine, but when it splits, its continues at 2.5" to both mufflers, which is just plain foolish, and any exhaust designer should know better. This is what happens when accountants have more authority over parts design than the engineers do.

When one exhaust tube splits into two, the two tubes need to be a smaller diameter to avoid a very sudden drop in exhaust velocity, which causes stagnation and turbulance that will diminish performance. Ideally the combined cross-sectional area of the two muffler tubes should be 20-30% greater than the cross-sectional area of the single tube that leads to them - this keeps flow in balance while allowing for the increased tubewall friction of two tubes rather than one. When one 2.5" tube splits to two 2.5" tubes, the cross-sectional area increases by 100%. When one 2.5" tube splits into two 2.0" tubes, the cross-sectional area increases by 28%, which is as close to optimum as you can get with available tubing diameters.

I'll note that none of this holds true with turbo applications, but it does apply to all normally aspirated engines.

As far as calls for a Nismo 5th gen Maxima catback, aren't there enough polished Chinese-made catbacks to choose from already? If you want the best catback (or any other exhaust part) for any 95-08 Maxima, go with Cattman Performance, its as simple as that.

Well, I really like the tone/volume of the nismo and greddy SP2 catbacks. Nothing against cattman (I have a pair of your headers, and I love them), but from the youtube videos I've seen, the cattman catback is a little louder than what I'm looking for.

Stop and think about what you're saying. Since there's no way to calibrate or benchmark the recording or playback, randomly recorded youtube videos don't provide any basis for objective comparison.

Are differences in perceived volume due to the actual differences between two cars, or is it due to differences in recording devices, or recording levels that vary automatically due to background noise, or the distance or orientation of the device from the vehicle, or the playback devices (sound card and speaker amplifiers), or some other uncontrollable variable - who knows, there's no way to tell.

Its not just volume - tonal quality and all subsonic qualities are also lost in the recording/playback process.

This is a double-edged sword. On one hand some folks decide they're too loud based on youtube clips, but on the other hand, that silver gen6 Maxima sitting in the garage just revving the motor has sold a lot of exhaust systems for us; either way, the fact remains that I've never heard a youtube exhaust clip that actually sounded like the car it was recorded from.

you're right.. so what's a good way to compare sound/tonal differences between your exhaust and megan's exhaust on a 5.5 gen with headers?

I suppose the only way to really tell is to put two cars side-by-side and listen to them. There are hundreds of maxima modifiers within 100 miles of where you live, check out the next nycmaximas event. Even if you can't put the two cars next to each other, listening to one of our catbacks w/ headers (easy to find) should be enough to persuade you.

Its worth pointing out that if you put the same two cars together a year from now there would be a difference, and even more after two years as the Megan exhaust gets louder and louder. Megan's Chinese-made parts don't meet the specifications we use, and this is especially evident in the more rapid deterioration of the cheaper sound-proofing fibreglass in the resonators and mufflers.

The resonators take the hardest beating, being closer to the motor, and we use stainless steel wool instead of fibreglass on ours (for 95-08 Maximas), which is more expensive, but lasts much longer. In the mufflers (for 95-03 Maximas) we use a hi-tech German-made fibreglass that's designed for motorcycle exhausts, and much more durable than the materials used in the Megan, Greddy, Nismo or other Maxima mufflers made in China (better than most US-made mufflers too).
