A33 exhaust/muffler
Im looking to change my stock exhaust. Ive look at the Greddy, Apexi, and HKS mufflers. The rear bumper on the 2000+ does not seem to fit any of them. I want it to look close to stock but with more power. Can anyone give me more info on this?

Thx for suggesting the above setup. I already have the stillen y-pipe and rt hi-flo cat. I have search through posts for the past year and came up with the cattman catback exhaust is good for my car but someone claimed that it was too noisy.

It all depends on the structure of the muffler. If the Frankencar muffler is a straight through glass pack style, it is going to be loud... period. If it has baffles in it like the dynomax and the oem muffler, it is going to sound very reasonable. My current set up sounds slightly louder than stock... just enough to let others know that I am not running a stock exhaust set up. It is a very fitting sound for a sporty luxury sedan like the I30... no fartng down the road like a civic.

i30ds, I tried looking up the Dynomax turbo muffler for my 2k2 I35 but could not find any place selling it... Dynomax's product sheet offers no help as well. Where did you get the muffler? Re-producing the tone of a G35/350Z is something I always wanted.

Since it is not a direct fit bolt on muffler, they had to bend and shape the in let and out let pipes and then weld those and some hangers on to the muffler and then weld a tip on the end. This is not something that you can just buy and then bolt up yourself like with a Cattman or a Greddy set up, but it sounds 10x better.
So, my advice is to find a good muffler shop that can source dynomax products and let them do the work. They will take care of the rest.

Just make sure the shop that installs it gets the right amount of bend around the rear multilink setup. The inlet pipe to the muffler that attaches to the b pipe, must have enough clearance above the multilink or it will BANG on the multlink when going over bumps and etc....
