Hey, question,
I was interested in getting a new exhaust for my altima coupe 2.5s
Any recommendations?
Keep in mind that as of right now I am a college student, so money isn't as strong as it use to be.
I just want a deeper sound to my car without the annoying buzz sound you hear every now and then on the street. :tisk:
Thanks

Also, don't know much about cars but I'm really motivated to learn more about them.

Sorry guys, i know there is a search button for this topic and that there are multiple responses about this topic.
But i would like to personally talk to someone one on one about a 2.5s rather than multiple people posting various types of exhausts for 3.5s

Thanks, you guys really helped me out.

Also, if I were to just replace the mufflers, would that give me a deeper sound to my exhaust?
What exactly does a high performance muffler do to a car?

not really maybe a little but when i got my catback done i could barely hear a difference till i got my intake, if u want a deeper tone ur gonna want to get bigger pipes 2.25" in ur case u can try an axel back, but if u want a deeper sound id reccoment a full catback & if ur still unsatisfied get the stillen header... the more u open up ur exhaust the more sound & essentially the more performance u will be unrestricting

Not sure if you bought one yet. But Nismo is the way to go. Save up some money, about 1000 shipped, but better to save for something your going to love vs something that will be eh.

Thanks guys, you guys were really helpful.
I just don't understand whybthe nismo exhaust for the 2.5s comes out more expensive than the 3.5s.
It might be a while till I can save that much considering the 900 I saved up is going to my rims.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coilover

basically your car's suspension. it allows you to adjust right height and stiffness, etc.
