Mossy exhaust system- pictures
Here are the long awaited pictures of the new Mossy exhaust system, I just got it in the mail today. I will be installing it tomorrow and will try to get some sound clips of it sometime this week. Pics on the car should be up tomorrow. Since I took 6 big pictures and Cardomain sometimes doesn't wanna link with the .org please visit my page for pics. Thanx, and if you guys want I can set up a group deal on these.

i thought the tips were resonated. i went to oceanside, but the only one they had available was in storage so i couldn't take a look at it. they tried to offer me a deal - $600 ($50 off), hopefully if you can do a gd it'd be cheaper.
can't wait to hear some clips.

I hope you can do a GD. The pricing listed on their website is around $600, which isn't that low compared to other catback systems. Even though it's heavy, I may still end up going with the cheaper Frankencar exhaust. The Mossy exhaust looks sweet, and it is probably a high quality setup with a nice sound if Mossy's past work is any indication. Still, I like saving money.

I will talk to Greg tomorrow about the group deal, I can't belive no one has yet said anything bout the exhaust looking just like another known brand exhaust for our cars. The tips are 3" big, and the exhaust is a true stainless steel 2.5" piping catback. I woulda installed it already, but I hate laying under the car in the garage. Doing this on a lift tomorrow after work will take me 10 min.

But I wouldn't get either simply because of the tips.....
since catbacks have a negligible effect on performance compared to stock (unless engine is heavily modded), the primary considerations are
1. sound
and
2. looks
I haven't heard the mossy, so can't comment on sound. I can say I like the sound that the Frankencar makes (have heard several).
And I don't like the tips on the Mossy or the Cattman...they both look "cheap" compared to the FC....
$500-600 is alot to pay for an extra *maybe* 3-4 hp if you don't like the looks of it. Let's all admit we buy rear sections for the sound and looks, and stop acting like it's a huge performance upgrade.

When you are boosted or have quite a bit of mods- headers, cams, tunned ECU (not TS) every little HP counts. FrankenCar has a restrictive rear muffler, and I seriously doubt there are any gains from that exhaust at all. Plus I still have NOT received an Email from them after 3 weeks as to a price on their exhaust system- customer service blows on their part.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the Mossy is a great exhaust in terms of free-flow, quality, etc. All I'm saying is that I don't like the tips. Would it be THAT hard for them to put some tips like the FC on the Mossy??? Seriously.....

I noticed the Cattman lookalike right off the bat-give me a cookie. Anyway, I go like FC's tips better. The only downside I have to Cattman's is the fact that they could have doen more with the tips-double walled. I will be able to tell more when I get it on later this week.

as to the tips of franken car they are too small, stromung makes a real nice 3" tips the way you like it(resonated) for the sentra....franken should take 3" under consideration

the 2.5 in my OPINION is too small on a car as big as maxima

.....and I do agree that the FC tips could be a little bit bigger. 3" tips that looked like the fC tips would look very nice on this Mossy (hint, hint)....

Looks good Mike, I like it... although, to me it looks just like the Cattman... I was hoping for something a little different... either way, post some clips when you're done and we can hear how that sounds with your headers....
Btw, I do like the way my Frankencar tips look better too...

yeah, those stromung tips look beautiful!
Blackbird, see if Mossy will put a couple of these on their exhaust, then I'll buy it (seriously). Of course, that's pending hearing what they sound like.

does anyone have any idea as to who is producing those mufflers for mossy? i was told that it was stromungs - supposed to be a very close design to the one they have for sentra. i saw that one and it has those resonated tips. why would they change the style?
