Exhaust Question

[P's Titan]

I don't know crap about exhaust except for that some cost alot and some are cheap.

My question, why do some have HP gain and other don't ? Is it the way there made ? Are some just for louder sound ?

If someone can answer this I would greatly appreciate it.

Thx

Some exhausts have power gains while others loose power depending on how they are engineered. Some exhausts are made just to be loud and obnoxious. You generally get what you pay for but buyer beware and check with what others have installed and commented on to prevent an expensive mistake by buying an exhaust that does't suit your needs.
Exhausts vary greatly in performance, volume, tone/note and price. I would say a good first step would be to find a sound and volume you like by getting with some local Nissan dealers or owners who have installed aftermarket exhausts. there are also sound clips on this sight but nothing beats up close and personal Once you find a brand that is close to the sound that you want, you can narrow it further by checking for performance results and price by searching this sight for something specific like Banks or Borla for example. I personaly bought a Zoomers exhaust because my chief concerns were performance and volume as well as no drone at crusin speed.

Thanks, I know about Zoomers, just can't afford it. I do like the way the FM 50 series SUV one sounds and I can get it installed for under $200. With the FM I dont think I would get any performance out of it just the sounds. I have been on this site everyday and now all about the different one, just wondered why some had HP gains and other don't.
