Done! I noticed no increase in noise at idle or off idle. High end seems to be more fun (no dyno, just my thoughts). It's my wife's car so I have to keep things quiet.

I added a RT cat over a month ago and it did add a *very small* increase in idle noise, but I'm really picky. Overall, I'd say the RT cat + 2000/2001 maxima/i30 muffler is the way to go if you don't want noise. I'd recommend this setup to anyone. 8^)



ps. Thanks to Tim M. for the muffler...

 

can you post a better picture from directly behind the car. just want to see what it looks like

 

I saw San Luis Obispo license plate frame, do you go to a CalPoly State University?...it's a good school I was there 8 years ago but I didn't study there(just a visit).it's one of my favorite school.

Anyway you should get Greddy one if you looking for power, check my car.( I installed Euro Flex radio antenna it's very hard to fix it on Maxima+RacingHart rims+BigBrake and much more.

 

another picture would be nice...

Did it just fit in? or did you have to cut or adjust anything?

 

hi all,

Yes, I graduated from Cal Poly SLO in 93 (class of 88) with a BS in CSC. If you're in the bay area, my email is robert@rcreations.com.

The muffler is the same size and has the same hangers as the 99 muffler. Only it's pipe, which connects to the B pipe, is different. The muffler guy simply cut both pipes about 2-3 inches from the muffler, removed old muffler, replace with new muffler, and welded the muffler to the pipe still attached to the B pipe. Easy 10 minute job.

The i30 muffler came with the tips (which are normally bent down) cut off and replaced with 2, 2 inch straight chrome tips. I'm thinking of slipping on larger chrome surrounds to make it look beefier. Overall, it looks plain, stealthy, and is extremely quiet.

cool... you need to do something about that opening for the stock pipe... but looks nice... also, time to update the sig

 

Is that exhausr suppose to open things up or anything?
