DNA MOTORING CBE-NM00-BT Stainless Steel Cat Back Exhaust System [Compatible with 00-03 Nissan Maxima]

It fit good on my 2003 Nissan Maxima SE 3.5 V6 i did have to take it to shop due to a part that was to short and got it welded to fit great took off the silencer and Sounds way better and loud pops are cool too I recommend this exhaust system

Here is a video of the sound of the exhaust WITH the tip installed. Some call it a silencer, and it does reduce noise by about 10 dB in the car. Installation was easy-this fits FEDERAL emissions vehicles. Took roughly 45 minutes to install. The dB readings are inside the car with the tip installed (66.4 dB) and without the tip (74.6 db) taken at 60 MPH on an open road with no traffic. I will try to upload a video of the sound without the tip, it's much more aggresive.

Sounds aweful with headers and test pipe. Sounds like a riced out raspy honda with terrible droan while cruising. The rest isn't that bad. The flange infront of the gas tank is big and bulky and doesnt fit without rubbing on the gas tank heat shield and floor of vehicle, they should have angled it or put it verticle. I would cut it out and put either a v band clamp or something, that's what I did. I also cut out their "resonator" and put a larger glass pack resonator and different muffler for a more throaty sound. All hangers fit good and bends were in correct spots/angles. The removable "silencer " in the muffler tip rattles no matter how tight you put it in. In short if you want loud and ricey go for it. It does fit and it's an easy install. Personally id recommend spending a little more and just getting the megan cat back or something better than this because all said and done I spent more than if I had just got a reputable cat back in the first place.

Overall it was an easy install. Slight customization needed on a hangar near the bend because it was going to rattle against it. Took the foam packaging and zip ties around the hangar and problem solved. You may need to bend the heat shield over the same bend at the connector. It is so wide that it slightly touches the heat shield on the edges and would no doubt rattle. I just widened the heat shield with pliers. Good sound on VQ. Deep throaty intimidating sound, not farty or whiney. From 30-45mph on local streets and depending on your driving habits you can have constant drone (automatic tranny). From 45mph and up it's fairly quiet, especially on the highway. There is a silencer if you decide that's what you need. Overall, good purchase.

(review for beginners) Removing the old system. All necessary gaskets/hardware was included. I have a 120v DeWalt 1/2" Impact Driver. This always comes in handy for this kind of job with rusty hardware. The HARDEST part of this whole deal will be removing the back half of the old system. It may be easier to do in a lift but I dropped the 4 bolts holding the suspension in place without letting them come all the way out and took the rear passenger tire off. Other than that EVERYTHING WAS A BREEZE. Getting the rear 3rd in was much easier! From there, I bolted up the middle piece no problem. Gasket fitment on the catalytic converter was a minor problem, I simply used some tin snips to cut one of the holes. I had to loosen up the heat shield on the cat to get the rest of the is system off. (sound/ performance and fit) Not too loud even revving up to 5,500. The OBD CPU will have to adjust so the jury will be out for a days. I drive for optimum mpg so I'll follow up if it improves. (FINAL) The system looks much better than my tired factory exhaust did. My car is a 5 speed manual, honestly getting out of 1st with a whisper quiet exhaust is tedious especially since this is 1 of 4 stick shift cars I drive. I honestly think I'm going to be a lot happier with this car's new setup

Looks good fits perfectly

I wish the people who manufactured this exhaust did some research, if your maxima has the federal emissions system you will have to bypass the post cat o2 sensor an absolute headache having to now weld a new mount for the o2 sensor horrible experience.

Exactly as described. I love it

Sounds great comes with all the hardware. Getting the old system off was a bit of a prick and the only thing is is I had to remove the piece of pipe that the 02 sensor goes in so I had to get rid of it but I haven’t got a check engine light as of yet but other then that it was easy to install all the holes lined up and I had to unbolt the rear subframe to get the muffler to clear other then that bolts right up I would highly recommend this cat back

Good quality, did the install myself, good fit only had to ajust one heat shield, looks great, no rattles or movement. Uses existing mounts. Piping fits well and car gained some power. Sound is loud and drones on hwy, will have to change to a quieter muffler but piping is great.
