DanAK Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yeah I have heard my pathy with no exhaust, it was not great. I don't think I will do a cutout anymore, I am trying to decide whether or not to do custom headers. I have two shops that can do it but it would be a problem to re-register. This country sucks for good modifications. No steel bumpers, no headers, no tires outside your fenders, and absolutely no new welding anywhere!

01silvapathy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 ah i see. Wish i had a 3.5 so i could do the same. With the 3.3L, i can only floor it against garbage trucks and buses, otherwise its a guaranteed loss. Im willing to bet that the 99 Pathfinder / QX4 was the slowest SUV sold (in north america) that year. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA poor poor boy, coulda had a VQ But in all seriousness I can still hit 60 in about 8 seconds with 33's And can hit the limiter if I have an open stretch of road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get up to the limiter in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and maybe 4th. Can you hit it in your top gear, and if so what speed are you going. I was happy to find out that I can still spin my tires even though they are 33s now. I don't know what my top speed is now with the bigger tires, but with 31s I could go 195kph. Anyway the VQ35DE is a wicked awesome engine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I had 2 1/4" done on my old 87 with a flowmaster, not sure of the series of the muffler it was when flowmaster first came out it sounded really good until the muffler cracked, than I went to a Borla muffler, rest of pipe was stainless, also did not have the cat on for a while but don't think removing the cat does much. In 4 low it really sounded wicked, especially when winding it out !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well nissan claims its limited to 104, but the fastest I have gone with the 33's is 101 confirmed by a GPS navigation unit with a speedometer in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududuckling Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) ah i see. Wish i had a 3.5 so i could do the same.

Im willing to bet that the 99 Pathfinder / QX4 was the slowest SUV sold (in north america) that year. You people and the VQ, hahaha... Like Fueler, I'm happy enough if I can race a garbage truck/ bus in the city or maybe adamzan's pathy if hes not looking, hahaha... With the standard transmission, the first gear goes up to like 25km/h before upshift, 2nd gear to 45, 3rd or 4th gear at 60km/h depending on my driving mood. The cycle repeats at every traffic light and my arm is sore by the time I hit the highway, hahaha... I realize anything above 3500rpm doesn't give me any more power.

DanAK Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 that is just too bad, I have never driven an older pathfinder. But I guess that my pathfinder doesn't have a speed limiter because I can get up to 117 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRich Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I realize anything above 3500rpm doesn't give me any more power. Ok so it's not just my pathy that slow. I agree with the over 3500rpm comment. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Dude, you cant be serious http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLKnWrEa6LU I will be finding out this summer if it actually sounds that good or not since my exhaust is rusting out and I am going to do my own straight pipe until I get sick of it...

02silverpathy Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) Aeroturbine sounds great even at 90 MPH climbing a mountain! At high speeds it sounds like stock but louder. During lower speeds, well check out the idle vid that I have, you can hear its tone. Edited May 18, 2010 by 02silverpathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
