exhaust system help !!!

[dylancolombo]

hey everyone i wanna buy a exhaust for my car im tired of the stock s*** i need some sound !
im looking at tanabe and borla axle back i see they dont come in catback cauce i looked everywhere, i would like a nismo but i cant found that either so help and ideas would be great thanks !

[dylancolombo]

oh and i was looking at magnaflow but it only comes for the 2.5 im pretty sure if im not wrong

[SanoSuKe]

hmm magnaflow should work on the 3.5 but you'll need an extra piece in there that you can buy off magnaflow's website. If you're looking for sound stay away from Stillen and look into Greddy systems. Both the SE and Ti-C are discontinued but you can still find the SE on ebay or other vendors.

[dylancolombo]

yeah but greddy are expensive what about tanabe or borla ?

I don't know if its still available, but the Top Speed Pro-1 exhaust has some popularity. Also, there is an exhaust by Artisan that has resonated tips. It's probably the loudest without going the custom route.

And this one, which is a rare find these days. LSD Exhaust.

That's all I can think of that really give you noise. Stillen and Nismo are pretty quiet in my opinion.

Oh, almost forgot this one. Altimacoupe501 has a straight pipe system. He has a 3.5 though so this might not work out for you.

Borla is pretty tough sounding, but it is only an axle back. If you're looking for any power gains (however minute it may be with just exhaust), a cat back is the way to go.

Tanabe has always sounded quiet to me.

im actually talking to someone for a nismo exhust catback

[SanoSuKe]

Like Metallic said, if you're going for loud stay away from NISMO or Stillen

[PMA9217]

I'm actually using the LSD exhaust and it's sick and all but it hangs too low for me.
I don't want to keep it since I'm throwing coilovers on it soon, thinking about getting the top speed.
any opinions or advice?

[MetallicSlate]

The GReddy Spectrum Elite hangs pretty low too as I've found. On BC coils, it just clips my driveway after a 1.5" drop all around.

Personal experience - you want the loudest you can get, you need a Racingline y-pipe to maximize the sound of whatever you get.

If you want a really stable linear sound (only way I know how to describe it from experience) you need a full catback with the y-pipe. This gets rid of any crimped piping in the system (which is engineered into the piping for ground clearance purposes).

The fitment of the Tanabe is great, and the sound is fantastic when coupled with a y-pipe.

The best combo on the 3.5 AC is the Greddy Spectrum Elite with a y-pipe. From everything I've heard, this has the best sound, which I'd describe with a hint of luxury sport. Really smooth and present, but won't drive you insane at cruise.

You want loud? Greddy TiC with y-pipe. That has the nastiest burliest sound. It's borderline straight-pipe in design. The next highest burly sound would be the Borla + y-pipe, and it's second to the Greddy in that you're stuck with the factory piping between the y-pipe and muffler/axleback.

This is my video with my Tanabe and AEM intake, done with a better camera than Tanabe used: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTQv9iJbMik[/youtube]

I'm still working on my videos for my Greddy SE before I got rid of my coupe.

[SanoSuKe]

The Greddy Ti-C by itself is one of the loudest things for the altima lol. I haven't heard the Ti-C with the Y-pipe yet but I'm sure it's scary.

[rollupdetassa]

So I have the Borla Cat Back and the Racingline Y-Pipe. I did a lot of research and for the sound that I wanted, that was the best combination. I love that if I tap the gas, up to 2500 rpm quickly, I usually get a nice little popping sound . There is a little drone at low rpms but from people pulling up next to me at lights, they said they never expected an altima to sound like that.

[MetallicSlate]

Here, I think I found the best thing for your needs.

Its my car with no exhaust or y-pipe.

Probably shouldn't have recorded it in a car port, what with all the echoing. But who cares. OPEN HEADERS!!!

Nismo on the 3.5 is DEFINITELY not quiet, so I have no idea where these folks are coming from. Ranga14 has it and before his Y-pipe install and after, it was loud to louder, when you step on it, and even idling it had a mean rumble.

Aside from that, since Nismo is pretty much all sound for $$$$ and discontinued, and combined with the fact that it's tiny 2.25" piping (so no real upgrade there) I'd recommend Borla for a bit less, or even an ebay kit like the one I used. I just posted this on another person's thread, but here goes:

5 videos of my car. 4 of them with the ebay cat back system (not the dual fart cans) and a single one of my new Borla axle back.
