got my local muffler shop to weld up a 2.5" catback with a magnaflow today. its not as loud as i thought it was gonna be but i didnt want it too loud. it has a real good tone hopefully itll get a little louder as it breaks in. oh yea and i got it for half the price as the real magnaflow kit. ill post pics and a sound clip when i get a chance.

just an update. the exhaust is in the process of gettin louder. the more i drive and the hotter the muffler gets the better it sounds. ill try to get some pictures and a sound clip this weekend.

Word!

On a side note...my exhaust manifold cracked recently. I was talking to another frontier owner and he (as did i) have this problem several months after the custom exhaust mod.

Perhaps it is higher flow and more heat is getting into the manifold more quickly (hotter) and it cracks.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

Nice, congrats. Post some pics and sound when you can.
FYI - I am on my 3rd Nissan (93 HB P/U and 97 Path) and the first 2 both had cracked manifolds by 60K. I pretty much expect it at this point, especially once I mod the exhaust.
Enjoy the new sound.
