hi.
finally after about four years and 70k miles my stock muffler is dying.
since I can't do any search here, I would appreciate if you could give me your suggestion for a new muffler.

basically I'm looking for:
1.Quality (so it will be the last muffler for the car)
2.Not too expensive (~+-35% of OEM replacement cost)
3.Not very loud (I don't think that I would be able to stand loud roar all the time)
4.and nicely looking.

Please let me know, if you have good suggestions. And also, where is a good place to get one (online?) BTW, the process of replacement -is that something that I could do by myself, or do I have to take my car to a shop?

thanks a lot.

 

a new maxima muffler maybe?

or the spyder mufflers those are nice too

 

Frankencar

 

for replacing it, its pretty much a simple bolt on job, might want to spray the old one with some wd40 to loosen it a bit first

 

I'd say picking up a '02-'03 stock muffler might be a good option (classifieds section)

If you want aftermarket, I'd suggest Cattman or Frankencar.

 

Does 02-03 muffler and mid-pipe fit 2000 SE??? anyone?

 

yes , cause Cattman and Frankencar has the same part ### for 00 to 03 maxes,
