So instead of paying $700+ for a catback for my Altima, I opted to go the custom route, and boy do I love my choice. I payed $140 for the mufflers and $150 for the work. I kept the stock resonator because I didn't want the car to scream, just to have a nice deep G35/350Z tone. So this is the result...BEFORE:AFTER:

and some other shots:



Here's the video, the sound is sorta low, but the exhaust really isn't that loud, probably only 15-30 decibals louder than stock.I think it sounds perfect in person!

4.5" tips right? Looks kinda big but sounds alright. I think they are sticking out a good inch too.

No thank you. After driving my full race exhaust Focus for 4 years, I just want a nice deep mellow "NON" loud sound. I'm very happy with the results.

Where did you find those mufflers? Also, did you mean 14851? I can only seem to find them for ~$130 each

EMAN44 that is a sweet sweet ride!

by the way jaymd123, I have the magnaflow 14158 just installed and I love it, they are cheaper on ebay but I wanted a warranty (the salt on the roads here in winter kills an exhaust) so I got it here magnaflow 14158 , or you can try one of the vendors magnaflow exhaust, they are always running sales/specials. either way its a great system and very easy to install.
