So I’m looking for a cat back bolt on exhaust system and cannot find any online. My current exhaust is unfortunately full of holes from the cat back. Anyone have any suggestions? I was wondering if the 2000 maxima cat back would work to bolt on. Lots of options for those. If anyone has tried that, did it fit? Thanks.

 

No, it's not a direct bolt on.

Rock auto has a few mufflers and resonator/B pipes to choose from. Nissan changed a few things during the 95-99 run and aftermarket parts can be tricky to figure out.

What's bad on yours?

 

Mainly the entire catback is rusted. Replaced the muffler. Suspension going out as well.

 

I found BRExhaust Direct-Fit Replacement Exhaust Kit 106-0735. It's a new design that fits all 95-03 and 96-04 I30/I35. It's $475.

If you’re looking for a stock replacement system, Rock Auto also has system kits.

They don’t list the kit for the ‘98 but these are for the ‘99 which are interchangeable as I recall.

 

Judging by the pictures, none of those are a direct swap for a 98. The 2nd one down would need an O2 sensor bung installed.

95, 96, Cali 99, full length B pipe, no O2 bung.
97, 98, Fed 99, S pipe w O2 bung that mates to a shorter B pipe.

95-96, shorter muffler outlet
97-99, longer muffler outlet

 

any decent local exhaust shop should be able to build everything you need.

 

Try online google the question it will give you all the answers you need it will have the best options for the maxima.
