i'm pretty new to altimas and 4 cylinders, but i was wondering if there were any drawbacks to getting a custom catback with 3" piping as apposed to the stock 2.25 or 2.5" piping on my 2.5 sedan. i'm eventually planning to go turbo but for now, i was thinking of having this catback made. i was quoted for about 450 by a reputable shop here in southern california. so to simplify:


1) 2.5/2.25 piping vs 3" piping?
2) price? (if anyone here in socal can point me to a shop with a better price pm me)
3) worth it? (yes, i know the car is a 4 banger, i dont really care about that. im asking if the price justifies the gains)

I have a custom borla on mine and I went with 2.5 cause I wanted to keep some bottom end while increasing top end. A 3" on a nonturbo 4cyl would murder your tq

i'll stick to 2.25" for now. how much did your exhaust cost you?

Well the mufflers sell at $214 a piece on Borla's website however I got these on sale for about 170. Guy charged me 60 bucks to do it. I live in MS though. The guy also gave me a nice discount. One day I may bite the bullet and get a real catback but for now I'm loving mine

i've heard your clips, do you still have the stock resonator or any other resonator?

No resonator. This car sounds like it isn't loud however it shook my windows on my house when I went flying past one day
