Proven EXHAUST thread by night owl******

I run Stillen headers and they are great but JBA price and quality can't be beat. Stillen bpipes I have no experience with but there are cheaper options out there that are just as good if not better.

This exhaust is very loud! There is some CIS, but being catless I was expecting some. Drone can get pretty bad at certain speeds.

I can definitely feel an increase in mid and top end power. I feel like the larger piping really opened the headers up. Anyone who is contemplating 2.25v2.5 I would choose the 2.5" if you have headers! Any power lost down low was very minimal.

Ratings:
Startup:6
Idle:3
Cruise:4
WOT:10
Head turn factor: 8 lol

It's a very loud, gnarly exhaust system, which is what I was looking for. I'm sure down the road I'll add a resonator to tame it some. More pics and vids to come soon.

Can you post under body pics? Been wanted a side exit like that.

Here's a pic from the muffler back. The toughest part is getting the pipe around/under the frame while keeping the exit as close to the body as possible.

As promised, a short vid of a 2nd gear WOT pull. VOLUME ALERT: There's a lot of wind noise... plus my truck is loud!

Flowmaster 10 series sounds great, low CIS around 1900-2200rpm and it a low tone so it's not annoying or noticeable, drone is loud but doesn't bother me at all. I feel a power gain in the entire rpm range. It has a nice sound at idle and not bad on the highway, and it turns heads

my set up is loud and has lots of drone i havent done a wide open run because i dont know where my afr is and i dont want to do any damage to the motor
To me it sounds to me like the fox body mustangs with headers h pipe and flows
Hopefully uprev will be here next week

I have the same setup except w/ a vibrant uq. Getting ready to swap out the jba muffler for a borla. The JBA muffler sounds like a tin can full of metal pieces.

Here's mine. Dual dynomax bullets with resonated tips. 2.5 304SS piping.
Stock manifolds and b pipes.

Cis- little bit, I kinda like it
Drone- around 70 it's probably a 7-8
Loudness- 10

I've been thinking about making both these mods but haven't done so yet. My original muffler still seems to be in reasonable condition. I'm inclined not to change the exhaust system until the muffler needs replacing. How long do they last before needing to be replaced?

I'm not really into performance enhancement so I'm not as keen on the CAI mod but may do so because it looks like an easy change.

I've always been a dual exhaust nut, ever since my first car - a 1939 Ford tudor with a flat head V-8. Almost every vehicle I've owned has had dual exhausts, either from the factory or modified. Now I've got the urge to put true dual exhausts on my Titan, not because I'm looking for any performance improvement, but just because I like true dual exhaust systems - similar to my preference for brunettes. The dual inlet muffler arrangement on the Titan allows for a fairly easy conversion to a true dual exhaust system. On the other hand, the phony dual exhaust on our Maxima Sport will stay that way.

The Nismo cat back system is the only true dual exhaust kit I have found for Titans. The other dual exhaust options I seen for Titans use DI/DO mufflers. The best price I have seen for the Nismo cat back system is about $850 ($794 + $56 shipping to NY) from Nissan Race Shop (Fontana Nissan). I figure by the time I pay customs duty and instalation it will cost about $1150. Out of curiosity I checked the price of the Nismo cat back system from the local Nissan dealer and was quoted nearly $1900, not including taxes or installation! Ridiculous! There isn't a Nismo cat back system currently available in Canada - I guess they would have to order one from wherever it is made. This isn't a problem as I frequently have items delivered to NY and pick them up there - it's only a half hour round trip for me. My concern about the Nismo system is that it will be too loud for my liking but I guess I could add a pair of resonators to tone it down if necessary.

I talked to a local muffler shop last week and they will replace the existing muffler and tail pipe with a pair of stainless steel flow through mufflers and regular steel tail pipes with chrome tips exiting behind the RR tire (same pattern as Nismo) for a little under $550 including taxes. Quite a difference. I will probably choose this option.

Sounds like the setup I am running now. Follow my parts and you can come out cheaper.

Got under it today to grab a couple pics
Started with prt 2.5 catless bpipes an the nismo exhaust but damn it was loud. So I bought a vibrante mandrel U, flow master Y 2.5-3, hooker aero chamber an a mandrel quick fit tailpipe. Took it to the shop an this is what I got. Eventually



I like the sound but starting to wish I went with the Borla XR1. I also need to change out my tip one of these days.

Nice pics! Looks alot like mine. Installed my JBA LTs this weekend. So, now running JBA LTs, PRT catless B pipes, Flowmaster y pipe, Magnaflow 22", dual 2.5 outlets. unfortunately, with the addition of the JBAs, cis is back...looking into the Uq resos now...

Loudness - idle 3, WOT 8
Drone - 3 @ 1500 - 2000
cis - at 1500-2000 rpm about a 6
No cel issues so far.

Update- after driving it a couple of days, it's too loud or my taste. JBAs really upped the loudness..that and the emergence of bad CIS! Read that would happen. So priced the UQ resos today and will definitely add one to each exhaust pipe after the muffler. On the upside, butt dyno tells me there's more power now, you can feel it in the throttle response, and the way the T jumps when you get on it. Can't wait for Uprev so I can really open it up.

Here's another thought...rather then spending the money on Vibrant UQs (around $90 per) I'm tossing around the idea of going complete true dual. Not at all happy with the sound since adding the JBA LTs. CIS way to bad. So, stopped by the local muffler shop today and talked to them about true dual. Their tech's idea is using the existing piping (most of it, anyways), and adding two Dynomax 17734 Super Turbo Mufflers. Anybody have any experience with these Dynomax mufflers?

[titanss]

Super Turbo's are a stock replacement muffler, performance muffler it is not.

[Sftail1990]

IMO a true dual will make the CIS even more so prevalent. You want to mix those gases from the banks of the engine to try and take that pulsing out of the exhaust tone if you can. Plus the added performance of what we have seen with a merge Y to 3" and a Borla so far, shows me that is the way to go. That setup for me picked up 18HP from 4K and up on the dyno, and you might want to consider resonated tips or the UQ if it is too much for you. I have the resonated tips with the setup in my sig, but CIS is next to none. The drone with the headers on was a little much sometimes, but I can modulate that with the throttle easily as I have found.

[StormTroopin]

Some of the loudness ratings in this thread, I would take with a grain of salt.

As far as the duals for CIS removal, I doubt it will do much. Even with an equivalent size muffler on each side, I don't see it being any better then a single setup. Good reso tips and another small muffler (or cats) are the only real way to tame CIS...
