The Best B-Pipe!!

Hey Everyone-
I am looking to get a B-Pipe for my Red 99 SE Limited Maxima (FED, not CALI). I just don't know which brand to get, I know some brands will fit better than others and sound better also!! Please let me know what brand you prefer or what brand you would purchase if you were getting one.

-Thanks

What muffler do you have? All Bpipes are loud, you need a resonator to keep it quiet.

I have a budget b-pipe and it sounds good. I don't as long as you get a resonator on there it should be fine. Just get a good exhaust shop to install it.

Budget seems to have a good reputation with alot of Orgers....I'm thinking of a Budget B-pipe and oem muffler, unless other better and cost-effective suggestions are offered. Maybe when i have more money sometime this year, I'll add teh budget y-pipe...

well I have the sttillen ones, and there are some fittiment issues... (at least for both of my maximas (in which the stillen has been on.

on the first max, it was fine except for a metal bracket, I removed that and there was no hitting on the exaust ever again...
On the second maxima (the one i'm driving it right now) it was banging everywhere no matter how well you tryed to ajust, then my mechanic did some ajusting to the pipe, not sure exactly (I think he took off from one of the rubber hangers) and now the B-pipe only hits the car, when I go over a bump too fast and shakes the car too much....

Conclusion: unless you get sttilens for cheap, or free, don't buy them.... Also I believe they are not as wide as some other pipes... factory diameter.... (not 100% sure)

Edit: my set up... warpspeed-Y, oem converter, stillen-B, oem muffler.
I like the sound when driving (just a little louder then oem, but you can hear it well in high speed.
bad side, when you start your car in the morning you hear a farting sound, which I find it silly...

Nope. It comes with a resonator too, so it produces a perfect sound. Not loud as fucc, but definately not stock. Perfect for a car like a maxima.

you can go the ghetto cheap way and just have a muffler shop cut out the crimp section after the stock resonator and replace it with a new elbow piece. was 35 bucks. My setup WS-Y --> stock resonator -->fixed b-pipe crimp ---> stock muffler.
