hey guys,

My girlfriend drives a 4th gen ('95) and needs a new muffler. I have a stock 2000 muffler siting in my garage and I need to know if it will fit her 4th gen.
Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Yes sir

 

Yup, got one on mine.

 

yes.
That is what I have. I love the way it sounds and looks.
To make it look right, you might want to consider cutting the hole in the bumper a little wider. It is not necessary to put it on there though, because it hangs a little bit lower than the stock one. Check out my homepage for pics of this.

 

Thanks for your help guys.

 

Did you go look at mine?
If you have any questions about how to properly cut the hole in the bumper to fit this, hit me up on pm. I learned the hard way. The guy I had do it made it a little crooked, as you could see from the pics. I know now what to do.

 

Brudaddy does it bolt right up to the stock b-bipe or do you have to weld it on? any fitment issues?

 

does anyone have any soundclips or know where i could get some for a 5th gen muffler on a 4th gen? i always wanted to know what it sounds like

 

vipervadim, I don't know if it bolts right up, because I had a custom b-pipe put on there and I just had him weld it to it.
There were no fitment issues though. It uses the same hangers.

@joosdawg:
I wish I could record sound with my camera. It sounds great! Maybe someone can show what it sounds like.

 

no it does not bolt right up... I have a 2k1 muffler on mine and they had to weld it on... but i love the sound//looks

edit: soundclip i took during the summer, the day I got the muffler http://www.v6atlanta.com/justin/maxima/maxima%20117.avi

edit again: that's with Warpspeed Y pipe, and 2k1 Muffler

 

I can't get that link to work

 

right click the link then save target as.

 

I did that Apparently there was something wrong with the server or something when I tried originally, because it timed out when I tried to save it.

EDIT: Sounds VERY nice! Can't wait to have a setup like that on my car

 

Nice.
Thanks for sharing.
Now people can know how cool our cars sound.

 

I want to hear how it would sound with a Full Exhaust setup... Y Pipe and Cat Back... NO RESONATOR!

BTW, where did you order your 5th gen muffler and how much did you pay?

Also, is there a difference in the mufflers... (GXE, GLE, SE) ?

 

It's got a rattley, buzzy sound with no resonator. I have a W/S Y-pipe, test pipe, custom b-pipe (all 2.5"). Sound like a muffler with some loose baffles or something. Not real bad, but it's not a clean sound.

 

got it too.

 

God they look so nice

 

I'd love to replace my VERY loud stillen muffler for one of these but it's such a pain going to a muffler shot and getting it welded and all, I wish it was a bolt, so I could do it in my driveway.

 

If all they are putting on is the muffler, I would guess that a place would do it for like $20 or so. I mean, it is not that involved. Most of those places will fluctuate their prices, based on what you want and need.

I paid like $100 shipped for my 5th gen muffler. I got it used from someone here on the .org. I have enjoyed it ever since I got it.

 

I paid $50 for my muffler... it's in awesome shape... paid an additional 40 to have it put on...

 

I think this is an OEM performance mod....

if it's the variable flow muffler....

Yes, it is. Although I'd seriously doubt you'd get more than maybe 1 or 2 HP out of it compared to stock.

 

yeah, but I didn't do the muffler for the hp gain.
I did it for just better looks, IMO, and sound, IMO, and possibly a little gain from opening up the b-pipe a little more.

 

Wow, is that the 5th gen muffler? It looks terrible IMO. I prefer my stock 99 muffler and B-pipe which are fairly rusted out so I get a nice dirty (but not too loud) growl.

OT: Brudaddy, I just noticed you're 24 and a legal assistant—me too! It sucks but it pays the bills. I can't wait to go to grad school.

 

What an interesting correlation. 5th Gen muffler on 4th Gen --> Legal Assistant.

I am Legal Assistant as well

 

yeah, I think it sucks too.
I thought I wanted to go to Law School, so I started working here at Baker Donelson. After doing this for like 3 months, I knew that law school was not for me. This is not what I want to do for very long, but it is a good job and I am steadily looking for something else.

We get that good sound without losing any of the hp out the holes of the rusty pipes. ha ha

 

lol i still love my rice can

 

I have the oval tipped 5th gen muffler... That was the one condition I had for getting a 5th gen muffler..

 

hmmmm.....me too.
I love the way that one looks.

I always wanted a 2000 Maxima when they first came out because they had the smoked tails and the oval muffler, etc.....well, instead, I just got the muffler and put it on the maxima I own. ha ha
