The Exhaust Thread

[jbarbaresi]

make sure you get the resonator.

Absolutely. Don't leave home without it. Just wish I could find a way to get the whole thing for cheaper than around $500.

[nlonigro]

all i see here is BRM this and Greddy that.. what about the new Stillen 2.5" Cat-Back exhaust?? i talked to Stillen on the phone and they said it should produce some power.. The resonator is already built into it.. its all one piece and is a little expensive sitting at 500+ but on top of that its designed especially for the 07 Sentra 2.0 ... Fits right into the stock mounting area's.. no adjustments or welding is needed.. my overall question is does anyone know how well this Stillen Cat-Back exhaust is. I am getting ready to order it this coming week.. would like some feedback

somebody just ordered the stillen exhaust for the 2.0, but hasn't left any feedback about it yet so i don't know if he's received/installed it. and any one of the catback exhausts you mentioned fit right into the mounting areas without adjustment or welding needed, just fyi. the biggest differences from one catback to another that use the same diameter piping is going to be the appearance and the sound. pretty much all will produce the same gains, so unless you really like the stillen and don't mind paying more for an exhaust go for it. don't buy it just because of the name though.

Stillen is a good company, so it's not a quality issue. I'm just not a huge fan of how they sound.

[nlonigro]

what do they sound like???? i havent orded this yet and I want something thats gonna sound NICE.. I would love to get Greddy but there mucho expensive and i dont think theres one out yet.. is there???? thats for the 2.0 of course .. is Stillen a higher pitch or melow???

from the sound clips i've heard, stillen tends to get a little raspy at higher rpm's, correct me if i'm wrong. honestly i think BRM would be a better bang for your buck. what kind of sound are you looking for? brm is very deep all throughout the power band, it's quiet at idle but sounds very mean under throttle. i think stillen is just slightly louder under load. both have a very "stockish" appearance.

[nlonigro]

Well personally I dont want something that looks stockish.. I like the look of having aftermarket stuff.. and I want something that roars when your on the throttle and also has a deep sound at idle... Money isnt really the problem unless it gets up over 600 which is crazy.. 2.5" is the largest size i will go.. anything bigger then that is overkill and raspy.. Ive been told awesome things about the stillen but at same time been told some off things about the sound which is a big part of my choice.. I know this is offtopic a little bit but what about the CIA from stillen???? Im also ordering that next week.. Getting both at once. the exhaust is still up in the air as far as which one i want.. the Stillen is on sale right now for 498 bucks and FREE shipping.. Great deal atm

Best bet for that kind of sound is going to be a BRM, Apex-i WS2, or custom setup using an Apex-i N1 can (make sure to put a resonator on there). The Stillen does get a bit raspy.

Their CAI is good stuff, go for it.

[nlonigro]

Is there a Apexi-WS2 for 2.0 Sentra?? and can you post link to it plz

Also considering BRM but i dont see anything for the Sentra 2.0 and would I be the first to put the BRM on a 2.0???? i know couple have them on there Spec V's but i havent seen anything about the 2.0 yet

[nametakennow]

I don't think Apex-i has a WS2 for the new Sentras yet.

I recall Greg saying he had systems for both the SE-R and the 2.0. Give them a call, the number is on the website.

[snoopmyelf]

would be nice to post the specs of stock sizes of exhaust and the aftermarket specs if possible, for example the inlet/oulet dimensions and etc

[shortlid]

I agree I have to replace the whole exhuast on a '99 GXE sedan. It is for a older woman so cheapest stock replacment would be best. Any insight guys? Doe steh cat. usualy rot at 80k or is it likly just the mid-pipe??
Modified by shortlid at 10:18 AM 3/2/2008

[shortlid]

No one here has replaced the mid-pipe on a '99 GXE sedan woith a direct fit after market? Does Walker make a mid-pipe for this car?

[nametakennow]

Nope. Junkyard or OEM are you only options.

[shortlid]

I just checked on Walker and AP web site because I was not geting a response. Saw this on Ap Exhuast's web site. http://www.apexhaust.com/app_catalog_results.asp

BOTH AP and Walker make the entire exhuast system for a 1.6 Sentra!

[ImHidingInTheBackseat]

Heres a video of my exhaust system.Its a Flowmaster 40 Series muffler with 2" I believe piping, no resonator, it was removed so its got a deeper tone.

alright guys got an exhaust clip this is the HKS super dragger on my 2001 sentra se it has the stock headers and cat at the moment but i will add another clips when i get the obx headers (still gunna have the stock cat)that i ordered on the car.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n62W8yWvKrE (just so you know that rattle that is heard is the old header theres a leak just before the cat) but anyways ENJOY!!

[nametakennow]

Good stuff, I added both of those (apparently I missed I'mHiding's post in March).

See if you can get a shot or two under load!

[nismo4life11]

here ya go! heres some interior under load video footage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGBqAgIbvqYand FYI my SE also has the performance package along with an AEM long air intake, 10mm spark wire, high port cam, and some bosch platinum 4+ spark plugs, thats all I have for engine work so far.

[nametakennow]

Updated.

How'd you make a high-port cam fit the RR engine? Is it the intake or exhaust cam?

[nismo4life11]

not sure the kid that had it before me told me that it had a high port intake cam. for all i know he was f.o.s. but anyways i know all the other stuff because i did it.

[nametakennow]

After some investigation I discovered that it is possible to put a non-RR cam in an RR head and that it runs (clearly, since you apparently have one). However, you are likely not to be getting any gains out of it, and may actually be losing a little power, FYI, though when I looked at your clips it seemed to pull just as well as any other I/E-mod'ed 00-01 Sentra I've seen.

[nismo4life11]

i dont know on sr20-forum.com the guys were talking about it and they said that a high port intake cam on an low port engine yields a 6-7 hp increase i dont know if thats true but sounds good to me.

[nametakennow]

Right, but the RR engine is different than other low-ports, which is why I was confused. 00-01 Sentras (and 00-02 G20s) have a different head than the 95-99 low-port. They have roller rockers (hence RR) that hold the valves open longer during high throttle, so the cams have to be able to adjust a bit. 91-99 cams don't have that ability because they lack the extra hardware to make use of the rockers. So, if you have a high-port cam in your RR low-port, you aren't getting the same gains. You might be getting some, you might be losing some power too. No one's done a formal test on it from what I've found.

[nismo4life11]

well after tearing down the engine a little bit i have found out it is still an rr the kid was just f.o.s. as i suspected. kinda glad he didnt do that because it is still pretty quick and from what i was reading it coulda been a big problem waiting to happen because of all the extra stuff an rr has but anyways cant wait for the headers !!!

[nametakennow]

Alright, I'll edit the index to reflect that.

[nismo4life11]

well i figured out that the rattle is coming from the exhaust so i just ordered a new HKS sport cat-back, i know its not like the super dragger but i wanted something a little more toned down anyways. so the new set up will be the hks sport cat back with the obx headers and the stock cat.

[nametakennow]

Sweet! Post up clips when you get the new one.

[djoxide]

i'd like to get an exhaust but i just don't like any of those huge can that sit on all the rides i see, its embarrasing when they drive by and fart down the street, i did see a nice dual tipped magnaflow one time and also on B15sentra.net but i'll have to wait for funds and see what happens next..too bad the Nismo one isn't dual tipped to.
