[@virtuousflow6273]

Getting my grandmas old 2000 Maxima GLE 3.0 in two weeks I believe I’m going to straight pipe it, this set up sounds beasty💯

[@Marsonpika]

That sounds so good 🤑🤤

[@Dave-tc2tn]

I have a 01 Maxima, those engines were engineered to be so quiet you can run straight pipes easy, but it doesn't sound that great. My Titan, well that's another story. ;)

[@whitewolf836]

I love the sound of the Titan. The muffler fell off and it sounds so freaking nice, love it

Sounds good!

"Hey, it's nice to hear that you guys have Maximas, those were the last two years of well made Nissans, I have always liked old Nissans, had a 1987 Pulsar very good reliable car no problems whatsoever, drove a 1999 altima and it was a silk smooth ride very comfortable, now I've come across a 2003 Maxima GLE with black leather interior, nice silver paint with 96,000 miles, my neighbor is asking $3500 for it, I don't know if i should get it, i mean it's a 20year old car im skeptical it will give me problems eventually?

[@LightRealms]

Sounds alright but the 3.5 def sounds better with the same setup

[@elijahpirtle]

No doubt! The VQ35's breathes so much better and sounds much better too

[@elijahpirtle]

@Skip R yes, factory cats. Just removed the resonator and muffler. It droned real bad around 28-3200rpm if i remember correctly

[@Mabeylater293]

Congrats. Now it sounds like every other car found in a junkyard. Only you actually PAID for it. I could have hit a bump and done it for free.

[@elijahpirtle]

I'm sorry that a video of a car i owned in 2016 made you so upset. I dont know what I'll ever do without the $80 I spent as a 22 y/o on my daily driver. Please forgive me 🙏

[@Олежа-в5у]

This is 3.5 sound

[@VTEC_support]

Should be getting a 98 SE 😮‍💨fully loaded js needs typical Nissan shit 😂❤

[@elijahpirtle]

The 98 is actually an a32 chassis vs this is an a33 (the generation after), but the a32's are also great cars. Same powertrain as these first 2 production years of the a33. This was a great car the years I had it, and if I could acquire another a33/a32 I'd jump on it. Hope you enjoy it 👍🏼

[@sharobazyany2243]

I got a nissian Altima se 2000 but idk if it will sound good if I straight pipe it

[@OneSlowCivic]

automatic? idk if its worth it to mildy fix it up or just to wait and buy the 03 manual version

[@elijahpirtle]

Me personally, I wouldn't get a maxima unless it's a manual. And the '03 had the vq35 6 speed vs this car was a vq30 w/ a 5 speed. I drove a friend's auto vq30 maxima and it wasn't nearly as fun or cool.

[@allenmelcher7679]

100% buy an 02-03 manual maxima. The automatics are sluggish and the 3.0 can’t pull nearly as hard as the 3.5 can. Plus vq35s just sound great.

[@ncthekid]

I have a 5spd I do I swap that ???????

[@rodinvaldez7706]

What's the pipe size

[@joeyormond6543]

Got a 2001 SE should it sound the same?

[@elijahpirtle]

Yes, same engine.

[@stevenwolsky6175]

Did you get a shop to make a pipe for you? Or did you bend a 2in pipe?

[@elijahpirtle]

steven wolsky went to a local shop and they cut off everything from the cat back and put new pipe on it

[@maricotemple3119]

I need answers. I have an 02 Maxima SE 3.5L and they are telling me I can’t delete my cats and go straight pipe. Is this true? Cause seeing too many on here where you can. I called 2 different muffler shops and they told me no. So if anyone can get back with me on this I’ll definitely appreciate it.

[@elijahpirtle]

Most exhaust shops wont cut your cats off because theyre federally required due to emissions. This still had factory cats at the time, just no muffler thus making it a straight pipe from the cat back. If you delete just the muffler, its essentially the same sound as any other vq35 w/out a muffler. Any exhaust setup you hear on a 350z/g35/04+ maxima will sound the same if you want more exhaust references

[@drocha3257]

You can delete your cats but only if your on the strip not out in public

[@cobyleblue3300]

What exhaust system

[@fairleysteven12]

To go straight pipe all u need to do is cut the cat out right? Any other parts you need to buy? I have an 03 maxima se

[@elijahpirtle]

This car had all factory cats. It had no muffler, and no resonator. If you cut the cat off it will be significantly louder and probably raspier than what you hear in my video. Also the 03 maxima has a vq35 not a vq30 so the engines are different in tone

[@jazmynwing5366]

Where is this

[@elijahpirtle]

Small town 30 minutes north of Nashville TN

[@rewschammel5088]

My shit sounds completely different. 2.5inch pipe...

[@elijahpirtle]

How much difference? As in tone, drone, volume?

[@rewschammel5088]

Elijah Pirtle sounds like a diesel at lower rpms, backfires a lot more, has a rasp to it, and kinda muddy sometimes. Definitely sounds like a hardbody with a 2foot Cherry bomb

[@rewschammel5088]

Elijah Pirtle probably cause I have the factory cats with 176k on them.
