hi to all!
I'm new to the forum ad also a new Nissan altima coupe driver, it is my first car and I love it
Its a coupe 2.5s
I got it for 6000 at a salvage lot with only 20000 miles
I spent 1000 to fix the damage which was only a back bumber and some other little stuff

Now that I fixed the car itself I would like to start adding some modifications
I'm looking for an exhaust first and im stuck between
The nismo cat back exhaust
Or
The Greedy exhaust

Thanks for all that can help, I'm looking for a nice sound that isn't too loud

Welcome Joe. Not a bad price. Hope you don't have any issues with it.

For the 2.5 I would recommend the Nismo.

Welcome Joe!

As a relative newbie myself, I can advise you will find a lot of helpful Altima owners on here and a ton of useful info, especially if you are a DIYer.

Having said that, I realize 'the horse has already left the barn', but $6K for a salvage vehicle with "only back bumper and some little stuff" should be a blatant red flag of consumer caution. Dealers are not in the business of giving these cars away and a price that low absolutely screams FLOOD LOSS IMO. The "salvage" designation is provided by the state's DMV, and simply means cost to repair exceeds acceptable limits in relation to the retail value. Thus, if KBB on your car is $15K, the damage estimates were probably exceeding $12K...more than a bumper. Water damages may not manifest themselves for some time; corrosion is a slow whore. Just be aware and lets hope you get your $6K worth if any problems do surface down the road. Best of luck!!

My uncle runs a salvage car restoration business and he made sure to inspect the car before the purchase.
The car runs perfectly.

And thanks on the feedback, I'll post pics when I purchase the cat back and the installation!
