So around 3 months ago I bought a new 2011 A/C and I'm really interested in putting a cat back on it but I'm stumped on which one I should get. Just by looking around the forum I've seen tons of stillens and some nismo (saw a couple of LSDs and I think it sounds really nice but wondering if it would scrape?), and i've been kind of pushing towards the nismo plus I don't think Stillen has produced a cat back for the 11s. Any opinions on exhausts? I'm looking for good performance and a nice deep sound.
Thanks a lot :wavey:

The 2008-2009 Cat-back should work on the 2011's. I don't see why not. The car is identical. Does Stillen make a catback for the 2.5? For some reason, i thought they only offered it for the 3.5, and you could get the axle back... which is still no problem.

No Stillen does manufacture a cat back for the 2.5. I'm assuming you are preferring the Stillen? Or just trying to confirm?

No, just looked like you seemed confused. The Stillen Axle-back should work on your car, too. The 2011's didn't change that much.

Check around YouTube to get some clips of all the different exhausts there are, it helped narrow the choice for me significantly.

I am pretty sure there is a change in exhausts with the newer one so only buy your year and model, companies typically and just change it slightly, i.e. the earlier altimas they shortened it by 1.5 inches.
