I need a new Muffler and exhaust for my M35x, and was told by the dealer that the best he could do was $2200 for the 2 mufflers and the y shaped pipe. I searched all over for an after market M35x muffler for the 2006. All I found was Stillen, or other "loud mufflers". Does anyone know of where I could purchase a cheaper muffler and exhaust system? I can't believe there is not an after market for this. Would really appreciate the help.
Thanks,
2006 Infiniti M35x

Re: 2006 Infiniti M35x
^This.
In addition, a lot of the "loud" systems are tasteful (especially the ones for Infinitis), and free up some power in your engine. It doesn't have to work as hard to push the spent gases out the tailpipe, so it has more power to actually propel the vehicle. In some cases, you'll even see an increase in fuel economy. As long as you keep the stock catalytic converters, I'll bet it won't be overbearing.
To put it bluntly, you can swap to a cone air filter and I'll bet that will be louder than a Stillen catback at WOT.
