skrillz Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) Can anyone tell if a '96 exhaust from the cat back is the same as a '98? both 3.3L. Here is a pic of the setup i'm looking at buying, it's a 96 and i have a 98. My question is, my og exhaust has an extra smaller muffler just off the tail pipe, this one in the pic does not. is this an issue or do you think i'm good to go? am i missing any other pipes? thanks in advance Edited July 16, 2009 by skrillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That smaller muffler is just a resonator. You do not need it. Pezzy's was removed when her exhaust was redone. Otherwise, your 96 exhaust will fit just fine on your 98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Yup, that's exactly the same. I wouldn't worry about the resonator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 yea, my truck doesn't have a resonator, and is missing 2 of the cats also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovemyPathfinder Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 yea, my truck doesn't have a resonator, and is missing 2 of the cats also! no cats? Does that mean u have the most powerful stock 3.3 liter out there. im assuming u dont live in american either.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 no cats? Does that mean u have the most powerful stock 3.3 liter out there. im assuming u dont live in american either.... Haha. No, I'm pretty sure mine is under powered. And I live In VA. It still has the cats that are at the end of the manifolds, So it's not so bad. But since my exhaust is starting to rust, those will probably end up being gone too. I just need to find someone with an Xterra that has headers on it to see if they will fit on the Pathy. Hmm.... Headers, 1.5" piping to a 2-1 muffler, then 1.75" piping out of that...Sounds so yummy!!! Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LovemyPathfinder Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Whats that? Jose google it. I think its an amazing exhaust system especially because we have pretty small v6's and its hard to get that sound we want and the aero turbine is perfect for my application. And its not too pricey either. I really dont think u will get a deeper throatier sound out of a v6 from any other muffler.

180sx Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Very intresting indeed. Would work great with my exhaust setup, thats for sure. I wonder how it would sound! http://www.aeroexhaust.com/car_muffler_2525xl.html This is just what i need! Although not the turbine (which is on back-order untill who knows when. Popular!) I'm sure this would outlast a flowmaster or any other...looks bad @$$!! http://www.aeroexhaust.com/aftermarket_muffler_163.html Edited July 18, 2009 by 180sx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovemyPathfinder Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 here is a vid of an r50 with a aero turbine. sounds pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrillz Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 thanks for the responses guys, i'm picking it up tonight, gonna have it installed soon. hopefully everything works fine and there are no surprises.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrillz Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Ok so i took a look under my truck and noticed that it's a 2 into 1 muffler. there is no collector before it so i'd need to put one in to use this muffler. also noticed that the cat seems to be up near the manifold so i don't think this cat will work either. I'm thinking now this is for a 3.0l pathfinder? *edit* So after looking a bit harder i've found that the exhaust in the picture above is for a 3.0L pathfinder and will not bolt up to my '98. so anyone looking for a cheap exhaust+cat for 200 bucks, it's in Guelph Kijiji.

Simon Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 So, they lied, and it's not for a 96. It's for a 95 or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skrillz Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 ^well sorta yeah. the ad says '96 but he clarified it was for a 3.0L when i emailed him. oh well, i found a place in North York, Muffler Express - they have the entire exhaust (OEM) from the cats back for 210 bucks. not bad at all!

180sx Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Cool. Now, I am wondering about your signiture. It has a Datsun logo on it, which is wrong since your driving a Nissan. And then you say you wish you could afford a Toyota? Whats upi with that, man! Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
