Ok guys, I'm leaning toward the Cattman catback system.. want something with nice tone, deep and mellow, but nothing too loud and no horrible drone inside the cabin.. I do have a WS Ypipe, as well as SR intake, TS ECU, and the usual array of bolt-ons..
My question is how is the SP2 system? Does it have that ever-so-annoying drone? Is the Cattman a much better system? The Cattman gets ALL the coin, but if its worth it, then thats it! I wanna do it right the first time. I appreciate your input guys..

I have the full Cattman system and would never change it for anything else. Subdued at low RPMs and the sound is awesome when you romp on it. Not sure if it sounds about the same with the 3.0 though.

i have headers, ypipe, and greddy sp2 catback. absolutely love the sound. it took a few months to completely break in, but its a nice agressive and tuned sound. inside the car the exhaust isnt very noticable because its designed to be quiet inside the cabin. when you romp on it it sounds soooo sick. not "ricey" at all. i would recommend the greddy sp2 cat back. i have 1 pic of it on my cardomain site. one thing tho about the greddy, it does tend to hang lower than other exhausts.

i heard the o2 sensor is located towards the ground. are you worried about that?

DJ420

iTrader: (77)

The o2 sensor isnt located anywhere near where that thing hangs low to the ground.. BUT it DOES hang low doesnt it?! Dayam! Do all the Greddys hang that low?! Thats nutz.. hmm.. 2 opinions: Cattman-1 , Greddy-1

cheak out the stickeys for the sounds. I myself like the sound of the SP2 besides the hanging of the pipe. Never actually thought about cattman.

sp2 is very quiet.

Anyone have pics of the sp2 on how low it actually hangs?
Anyone have pics of the Cattman on how low that one hangs?

No problem... just look around a little bit before you post a thread. It will save from a lot of flaming and aggravation. Along the top of the page there's the maxima.org banner, the second option along the bottom says "donations". Click that, and then you can donate. BTW, I think you'll be happy with an sp2... I love mine. Good luck.

I have been checking out LOTS of pics of these 2 systems.. u cant even see a Cattman, except the muffler.. and the sp2 seems relatively the same. He had the only one I saw pics of that you could even see below the car! weird..
think he needs to give greddy a call..

My Cattman:



99 SE-L w/ 95-96 Greddy SP2:



Both sound excellent, Greddy is great for the money. The low B-pipe is about the only "downside" to the Greddy unit.

iTrader: (5)

the 97-99 sp2's stick out longer than the 95-96's correct? that's the only difference?

lilaclucymaxima

iTrader: (16)

Nice... yeah if you want to check out my sp2 or whatever let me know. I bought mine off of www.hopupracing.com, that's the cheapest I've seen it other than buying one used. My sn is lilaclucymaxima if you have aim.

lilaclucymaxima

iTrader: (16)

Correct. Also, the '97-'99 have an additional O2 sensor.

DJ420

iTrader: (77)

I think there may be a difference with a 6" or so pipe that the 97+ has behind the cat with an o2 in it.. where as the 95-96 has the rear o2 right in the cat! May make a big difference.. check this out and anyone else correct me if I am wrong..

OOOOOHH.. I dunno, I might hafta go with the Cattman.. liking how that looks in the rear much better than the Greddy one!

That picture does the GReddy no justice, seeing as it was designed to fit on to a '95-'96 maxima, and that's a '99. But the cattmann does not hang as low as the GReddy does.

brooklynK3Y

I don't know what sum of yall are talking about with the bpipe hanging low. my bpipe does not hang low, I bought the catback greddy sp2 for 97-99. you can't see nothing under but the muffler

Dooley

I have a SP2 designed for a 97-99 on my 97, b-pipe, while not flush with the underside, is noticably higher than the pic linked on the thread. Great deep note outside, some medium tone in the cabin between 2K-3K and at WOT.

I wish somebody mentioned something like this to me when I bought my sp2

sp2 is burning the sh*T out of my bumper cuase the tip sits right against it, thats a problem with it besides it hanging too low.
i have a 95.
also, you'll need to plug the extra 02 bung with an 02 plug bolt or you'll have the worst exhaust leak ever.

iTrader: (5)

only thing i'm confused about is the o2 sensor... i have a 99. do i need any modifications done to it or will it fit just fine?

VIP Maxima

ya mine hangs pretty low but my side skirts pretty much hide it. although i can still see it from the side when im driving (in mirrors and store windows).i have yet to scrape the B pipe against anything tho, so it should all be safe.







i have several clips too but im too lazy to host, hope pics help....

iTrader: (77)

..yeah I wouldn't mind meetin up to check it out! let me know.. i work till 6p MOST nights, but I'm in Warwick 6 days a week! Let me know, really interested to hear what it sounds like in person!

If I have a 96, with a 98 rear bumper, and I get a 96 sp2, will it be short of coming to the edge of the rear bumper?

i love how your car sounds black maxima. I'm getting a greddy SP2 this week very excited!! Man why did Greddy make the bpipe sit so low???

Oh well anything is better than my custom 2.5" POS.

gen4max5spd

I had the Cattman Catback on my 98, it was fabulous. My buddy had the Greddy and it melted some of the plastic on his bumper because the exhaust is so big. The Cattman definately makes a nice sound at the low rpms. I would give Cattman my vote

chillin014

iTrader: (67)

isnt an sp2 half the price of a cattman catback?
