I really wish i could get my maxima to sound like it did back then

What was the set-up?

 

damn, hats got the high pitched sounds of a ferrari

 

Tell us y0 secret.

 

Werd^ lol i wanna ditch my obx catback!

 

Nice, I got to make me some Fly By Videos....

 

Straight pipe 2 1/2 inches no cat and no muffler. Stock headers and stock ypipe lol

 

I got a vid of a 130mph fly by lol

 

Eliminating the resonator and going straight pip really changes the osund. I debated this on my 4th gen. I couldn't eliminate the cat though and I def wanted a muffler becuase I do a lot of highway driving and that=drone zone. Nice sound though hombre

 

But with stock pre cats on, you always get cool sound, it's the minute you go to headers is when you get drone/loud/obnoxious.

 

Well the first exhaust mod I did was a Cattman y and it wasnt enough. HAd almost a weird sound to it. I just put on a 16" Magnaflow resonator and a 14" Magnaflow muffler and I love the sound now with no drone but loud when you want it to be. Im a piece it together exhaust minded person over a huge lump sum for a cat-back

 

Searching for best sound is like chasing a unicorn.


4th gen days:
Catback, straight muffler (small body) No difference
Cat delete, louder
1st gen Stillen Y-pipe too loud
resonator - better
bigger muffler - awesome
new y-pipe WSP - tractor sound, FML (old one died, I still regret sending it to the dump and not fixing it (1st gen Stillen equal length).

5.5 gen
Headers, awesome
cattman B - awesome-er
test pipe - shtty/raspy
new resonator(louvered FTL) too quiet, loss of performance
new resonator(thin bodied) too loud
new resonator(non louvered) + split flow muffer used as resonator) FTW
Cattman 3" + HFC = FTW
Cattman 3" + 2.5" TP = quieter (weird, I know) best, IMO for performance and all around awesomeness.

 

Nice might have to give the 2.5 TESTPIPE a go and see what happens....

 

I would go directly for the 3" test pipe piece, I was in a rush, and went with the 2.5" piece.

 

3" 240sx resonated test pipe FTW

 

still trying to find one.

 

This! I didnt have the drone in my exhaust on the highway.

When i got the 3.5 swap and had the same exhaust it was too raspy and didnt sound nothing like the 3.0 did.

 

You're joking, right?

let me rephrase ... Haven't found one i like for a reasonable price yet.

Haven't bought eBay in over 10 years. Also, i heard some BS with the flange on those.

Found one on here but never heard back from the guy.

The way your car sounds is the way mine did (4th gen DE) with the equal length y- (stock manifolds) test pipe and resonator and very small muffler, bit quieter. This thread brought back memories of those days.

 

The flange on those are fine. It's the flange holes that look poor but obviously still do there purpose flawlessly.

That list is missing BRM...hopefully some quality vids could change that.

 

What's wrong with this one for $30 shipped?

I'm pretty sure you just have to cut those four little flanges off then you're good to go.

 

That sounds really, really good. My set up is all stock except for a resonator delete. It has a smooth, subtle tone to it. The police over the last year have been profiling hard lately, so i'm reluctant to do anything to it to make it louder, other than perhaps going with a Warpspeed Y, which would remove both my precats since it's an 00 fed spec.

 

I'm still looking for a BRM with headers. I think that would sound good.


True. ..

I'm going to go home and buy one. (no sarcasm) Can;t do it at work.

 

That's the sound of slow "tee-hee"

edit:

"Limp"

 

Sounds really aggressive but I feel like for a daily driver-type car having an exhaust that loud would get old pretty quickly.

 

LMK how it works out for ya. I want one too but not ready to buy just yet. Still got stock piping on my 5.5.
