maguirre Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi all, My exhaust system needs to be replaced so I thought it was a good time to get a better system than oem. I'm looking to replace all the pipes from the headers to tip. Has anyone here done this??? Please let me know what you guys have in your trucks. thanks, maguirre 2001 Pathfinder, 5spd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB3829 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I haven't replaced the whole thing but I did have a flowmaster muffler installed (a 5000 series I think). Call them and they'll recommend the right one. It sounds great, not too rough or choppy. If I was replacing the whole thing, I would at least check into high flow cats. Hope this helps.

02silverpathy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I copied myself from the POST MUFFLER BROKE OFF thread... "Hey Guys! This topic is soo on tmie in the life of my new (to me) '02. I just paid out of my nose to get a Magnaflow 22" body dual in dual out muffler installed with 2.25" pipe from the front resonators back.....drove about 25 miles.......it sucks!!! I lost torque--bad! I do believe that in higher RPM's she breaths better but for me it was not worth the tire skirtting low end. I am having a friend help me re-install my stock stuff tonight and since the muffler was clamped on...I am going to try to return the muffler..wish me luck! *************Anyone interested in a phatty large Magnaflow 2.5" dI/dO Tru-X design muffler please let me know---it will be quite a deal and with will have less than 40 miles on it!! No weld marks or hangers attached!!**************************************************************************** ********************************* My next plan after the, return/sale is to get my 2nd resonator removed and 1 2.5" pipe ran out of the back with a nice tip. (period for the exhaust!) The real pain of the entire deal is, that the shop did a horrible job bending the duals out (they bang into the bump stop and the floor of the rig), welds are pretty sloppy looking, and the knocked my Nissan the whole time it was in the air---go figure the owner just bought an '06 Ford Crewcab diesel and his boy drives a 95 Blazer---I want to go back and challenge his boy to a tow off, then a race, then mark when the Blazer blows up due to that intake pre-injector that will leak, fail, water down the oil and seize his main bearings at 100K...while the Path will push 200K without catestrophic failure....phunk those guys.

02silverpathy Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Got my OEM muffler back on without the rear resonator...let me tell you--it is soo nice having my rig back to normal! Maybe a 2 in 1 out would have worked, but I am satisfied with what I have now! No resonator gave maybe a tiny tiny bit more throat w/no raspiness. The resonator only had like 12 holes perforated in it, so it really does nothing anyway! I am now spraying my tail pipe black and may put a tip on (or may not!). Hooray for OEM power again!
