Yea, but

I don't want that loud exhaust sound.. I didn't like it when I just had the Stillen Exhaust back in '96 so I can imagine it would be even louder with a Y pipe..

I'm hoping to hear his exhaust this weekend.

Eben....

you can try Rayco...its in Silver Spring. they have pretty good prices, I think for $150-200 they fab you a catback pipe and fit it for you(any size 2.25" and up)...they installed my muffler and I think did UMD's Y-pipe, they have quick service and good experience!

if you're looking for quiet have you priced the courtesy nissan b-pipe and 5th gen stock muffler combo? i've read that this is a quiet catback combo.

Re: Re: Yea, but

Actually I was going to check with Nissan to see how much it cost but I'm sure S&H and install prices are gonna put me back to the local store prices.

I'm pretty much broke right now(getting my basement finished) so I may just get the Bpipe section then get the muffler part later.

that sounds like adecent price for a full catback. As long as you get the lifetime warranty from them its a good deal. I paid $420 with shipping for my Apexi-WS catback, from custommaxima.com

How does your apexi sound? Is it loud? What gains did you get h.p wise and did you lose torque? One more then i'll shut up...is your cat-back accompanied by a Y pipe...

Thanks in advance...Im considering the Apexi but just checking out the good and bad
