Depends on how much you want to spend and what your trying to get out of it.... It will add a little HP and some sound, sure won't sound like a civic.... if you have some extra bucks laying around then go ahead... good luck.

y-pipes on A33B's are

The nonequal length of those y-pipes make the car sound worse than before. Make it count the first time and get Cattman headers. Also, as stated before, mileage has nothing to do with the end choice.

Amy time you have ask if a mod is worth it, that means it's not to you, if you have to ask.

fact is that if there was a particular exhaust mod that could make our cars sound like a g35 then I can assure you that 90% of the people who post in the 5thgen fourm would have it

what was the point in you even posting this comment? You've "learned" to leave your car sounding the way that it is because that's what YOU want, that's not what he wants or he wouldn't have posted the question. And if your max is stock, then it doesn't have a "growl" of any kind dude, not even on WOT.
Furthermore I guess because our cars are "family sedans" we should just say screw trying to put our own individual stamps of personalization to them, noooo we should just keep them just the way that they are from the factory because that's what Nissan built them for, right?

Yeah if you want to get a nice growl I'd suggest to get headers + catback or just a catback if you're looking for sound and not hp.

For the G35 sound I'm not sure. But I know there's a lot of threads on the subject.

Check out some videos on YouTube also.

At this point, some of us may wonder if "Amy Time" was worth it...

to the OP: if you're looking for sound, just get a Cattman Cat-back and call it a day. if you want HP, get the Header/Y-pipe combo and leave the stock rear section. From what I've heard and seen, the flange between the b-pipe and the muffler tends to rust and break, so I'd recc the cat-back.
