Ok. I only have $600 dollars. I need a new exhaust system, but I am tired of my slow VG. I know if i get the CAI and Y pipe my car won't be running 10's or anything even close, but it real be a lot better with them. Plus i heard the CAI intake gives your car nice growl. I am not going to have money again until spring because I am a full time college student. So i am wondering what you guys think? Should I get the CAI and Y pipe and just get a cheap replacement muffler. Or should I just get the greddy cat and wait till april to get the CAI and Y pipe??

 

IMO, go with the CAI and Y first, then in the spring go for the Greddy and Cat....

 

Go for the CAI and Y pipe. After that do the JWT ECU and UDP or custom catback. The CAI, Y pipe and JWT ECU will be the 3 most noticeable and easiest bolt ons. Everything else nickels and dimes till you pull the heads and get hardcore .

 

CAI & Y.....best bang for the buck.....

 

oh yeah...CAI and Y....

 

definatley the CAI + Y before anything else.

 

Thanx you guys. I just ordered my CAI and cattman Y pipe. I had one more question. I heard that if you have a aftermarket Y pipe and greddy cat-back, the cat-back will sound too loud. But most of these guys had 5th gens. So I was wondering if any of you guys with a y and a greddy cat have any problems. Like if it is too loud.

 

You will get the infamous "Greddy drone" .....

 

Well, I have the CAI, Y, Cat, and GReddy. Lemme tell you that's a quite set-up. At idle all you can hear is the CAI sucking in air, and it's really quiet around town. At WOT it gets a deep extremely nice sounding growl, but I would by no means say it's loud. The CAI is louder at WOT than the actual exhaust. It's a very good setup. And there's no droning whatsoever...

 

I stand corrected... no drone whatsoever?? on my VG i have a deep drone around 2500-300 rpm........

 

Yeah, when I had just a universal Arospeed muffler on my car, I had a real annoying drone too.

Good Cat-back = no drone

 

Shaweet...

 

do u still have that muffler???

 

No Drone =

GReddy Power!!!

 

Yep, still attached to my full stock exhaust system sitting in my backyard. lol. It's the Arospeed Dual DTM S/S

 

CAI and Y pipe for sure...good luck!

 

do u have a pic of the muffler....id be interested in buying it!!

 

Just go slow, look for deals, people selling mods, you can get it all.

Through this forum and eBay, I got my Place Racing CAI for $150 (yes I know WSP is cheaper), I got my Cattman Y-pipe for $0 (Bought it for $100 and sold my stock one for $100), and my GReddy catback slightly used for the price of a new stock replacement and shipping ($129 + $20 shipping + $50 kickback to the owner).

 

I've had the Greddy cat-back for years now and looking back on it I would've got the Y-pipe first. I'm using a Stillen intake. The Y-pipe will probably come this spring. I also have the JWT ECU and a UDP. I'll probably add a new cat also. Intake, Greddy, UDP, Y-pipe, ECU and fresh cat = hang on!

 

Yeah I do somewhere, lemme dig it up....

 

James? So what do you say VG 5spd vs. VE auto. Sounds like a good race to me...interested?

 

Have fun with your "track-use only" muffler Aaron

 

I will probably have some fun with it for a little while around town. Everybody I see will want to race me.

 

James92se,
Off subject, where did you get your foglights in your sig.? I have a busted foglight and need replacements and yours don't look stock.

 

Notice the date of the posts. Pezking was being stupid and decided to bring back this old thread. You won't be able to contact James that way b/c he has not been able to log into that name for quite some time. Search for James12345 and you will find him.

 

If you want to keep stock it is only like $25 for the lens and that is the whole sealed thing (glass and the reflector incase yours is rusted) all you do is put the bulb in the new peice and screw them back on.

call courtesy nissan.

 

Thanks for the info. I think I will call courtesy, I was told that they were a little over $50 for stock replacements. I think the bulb is ok, its the glass that is broken completely off and I think the wires got cut too. I'll have to do some investagating. Thanks

 

isn't the greddy straight through design? i had the general idea that any straight through design will drone around 2000-2500 RPM on our max

 

Sorry for causing confusing guys I was just messing around with James and Aaron
