I want to put a preformace exhaust on my max but i dont want everyone in the nieghborhood to hear me when I excelerate down the steet. is there any options for me??

 

Yeah it's called the Greddy SP, or the Apexi WS... Really quiet and I mean quiet catback exhausts...

 

try the magnaflow SS too. you'll need to get a resonated b-pipe from warpspeed to go with it, but it sounds great. not loud or ricey.

 

bah, screw quiet. I love my OBX-H catback.

 

Cattman cat-back.

 

Magnaflow is straight through and tends to be rather moderately loud than quiet. I decided against it at last minute and decided to throw in 5th gen muffler (coupled with 2,5" B-pipe with Magnaflow resonator).

EDIT: Subject says Performance Exhaust - meaning Y-pipe is present in this formula too, right?

 

Whats the point of having a 2.5" b pipe if you have a 2.25" muffler?

 

Because by the time the exhaust gas reaches the muffler it's already cooled off slightly and looses some of it's velocity. There is next to no gain with aftermarket mufflers.

Back to the initial thread: Some sort of y-pipe, b-pipe and stock muffler.

LEMAR

 

I agree w/ LEMAR, Y-pipe, resonated B-pipe, and stock muffler would probably work best for what you're looking for.
I have Budget Y and B pipes and everyone who rides in my car gives compliments on the exhaust note which is barely noticeable while cruising but gets more agresssive once I get on the throttle.

Besides if you go with this combo (Y and B pipes), which would set you back $375-400, you're more likely to save some $ over brand name catbacks.

 

After reading some posts about the GReddy SP & Cattman catbacks, I was curious to see what ppl are saying about both, I've even read about the Stillen exhausts, any good/bad reviews on those?

When the time comes for me to get a new exhaust system, I too am w/ sagemistse on something as quiet as stock but enough to give a hint to someone that I mean business and someone suggested the Cattman, will that give me what I'm looking for, along w/ replacing the stock muffler w/ another stock muffler?

 

doode! i have the ws, and it is really quiet, i think you will be happy with it. it also really depends on how quiet you want it to be.

 

Pretty much anything will be quiet as long as you don't get a Y-PIPE. With the Y everything goes to hell.

 

even with Y pipe, Apexi WS is quiet and sounds incredibly good...

 

No it isn't quiet. Even when driving at or around 1K rpms, it has this loud gurgle. It's just louder after that. He want's something quiet while accelerating.

 

maybe the one you heard was busted. my friend's is quiet.

 

I just had a Buget Y-pipe installed yesterday. Wowzerss! I am not into a lot of noise and don't have it now. Possibly a B-pipe is on the horizon as the pipe behind the stock resonator is pinched. I have read here that I might as well get the B-pipe fabricated rather than buy from the Maxima piranhas. Any advice is welcome!

 

the greddy sp is kinda loud but not too bad. I just know that im thinking about just getting a stock muffler to see if that helps reduce the noise. I like my ride to be quiet. Now all i have to do if find a used 4 gen muffler

 

oh yeah if you want quiet, stay stock.

 

being as he is a 97-99 like myself we don't have alot of options from what i have read the general census is the apexi WS and greddy SP are both great exhaust but neither of which are mad for our cars ,97-99 which leaves not many options. the cattman exhaust is very expensive when compared to the greddy or the apexi. b pipes and muffler combos aren't always easy to pick or "tuned" to sound the way you would like it. basically your not going to get a "Quiet performance exhaust" there is no way. its a situation where you have to give up one thing to get the next. you want a quiet exhaust you stay stock,. what you need is an exhaust you can live with. and will give some performance gains. what i am going to do is buy a Megan racing catback exhaust which looks like great quality and is all stainless 2.5 piping. then i am going to find a nice muffler and replace the coffee can that is on there. all i need now is a muffler with a 2.5 inlet...

 

I really doubt that since it's on my car, has no rust, leaks, and is less than 10k old.

ZACK, since when is the SP not made for the 97-99? The SP2 isn't, the SP is/was.

 

call greddy the discontinued the SP if you can find someplace that sells them and has them in stock i will BUY IT.

 

That's why I said the SP is/was made for the 4.5 gen.

 

read the post your not making any sense?

 

I'm not getting you at all. I said "ZACK, since when is the SP not made for the 97-99? The SP2 isn't, the SP is/was." I don't get it. The SP2 is for 95-96 while the SP IS for 97-99. I said was because they don't make them and I said is because it is designed for the 97-99.

 

i got all stock piping except from resenator back and i but 2.5 half piping to a greedy muffler and i have 5 spd and its queit try it and u see.

 

the greedy i got is sp

 

Just got from the shop today. My priority is/was to be quiet too. I got WS Y-pipe, which is 2" from headers and then 2,5" at the cat. From the cat it's 2,5" piping, then goes 2,5" Magnaflow resonator and out of it pipe is 2,25", which goes into 2" 5th Gen muffler. It is stock quiet and performance-wise I believe I might be loosing 3-4 hp at the top compared if I went 2,5" all the way to the muffler with 2,5" inlet (say Magnaflow).

I am happy with setup and that 3-4 hps don't play that much role cause I almost don't race and don't go to the track, but for everyday driving that's more than suffiicient.
