Guest Slithering_Joe Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I'm looking for a stainless steel cat-back (after catalytic to tailpipe end) exhaust system for my 1996 Pathfinder. Can anyone out there suggest a kit to replace the rusted out one I have now. What brand? OEM, Borla, Magnaflow, Walker, etc. Who has the cheapest price? What should I expect to pay? An information would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuong Nguyen Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Have you tried a search? I'd do Borla if I had the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hey Slithering Joe. I have a magna flow from the cat back on my 95XE, and it seems fine with a nice muted growl sound. The previous owner has a receipt "flow muffler, tail pipe, tip" with labor for $200. Then there is another for the pipes from the exhaust manifolds through the Y until the resignator(?) for $300. My cat looks ready to crumble, and when it does, I will install a high flow cat, and Thorly(?) headers with some aftermarket intake. That should put me in the 170+HP range Good luck.

Mr. Pickles Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 You could have a custom made cat-back exhaust to the rear of the truck with a Flowmaster for maybe $200-250 MAX out the door (at least locally here in WA). The trick is to go to a smaller shop because the bigger ones (Midas, Meineke, etc.) will try to sell you on $400 of stuff you don't need. A decent Flowmaster muffler should retail in a shop for $60-80 (you can find them online for $40-50), plus the hour it takes for someone who knows what they're doing to set up the system and weld it. I watched a guy do my old car in maybe and hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
