I spoke with David Edelman at Premier Truck Accessories about a Group Buy on this system! He asked me to put the word out and he’d work on getting a good Group Price. We’ll need at least 10 people to join this buy to get the special discount, so either let me know or e-mail David at [email protected]. You can also call him at 888-345-4782. Let him know the forum you saw this on and ask for the Group Buy!

So, who’s going to be second?

Still definitely interested but will wait to hear results from Dave on how it is on their company truck. Keep us posted on the status.

Mike,

I noticed that as well, and I'm with you, I'm not interested in adding headers! As for true results from a dyno, I don't put much stock in the numbers manufacturers claim anyway. Too many variable can influence individual dyno results. Weather, altitude, humidity and the vehicle itself all play a factor in the final results. I don't know if you've seen the different dyno's that have been done on this truck, but they all are different! You could put the exact same mods on two identical vehicles and still get different results. Chances are good the two trucks, bone stock, will pull different numbers! Take one of these vehilces and dyno it in FL in the summer, then Maine in the winter, then in Denver at another time and all three will show drastic differences!

I'm certainly not defending JBA's claims or any other manufacturer's claims, far from it! I'm saying I don't put a lot of faith in any of them! What I'm looking for is a quality built system that delivers a mellow exhaust note, with no intrusive drone in the cabin! The mere fact the Y pipe isn't two 2" pipes crimped and stuffed into a 2.25" pipe tells me it will flow better and is a vast improvement over the stock exhaust! If it looks good, sounds good, and flows well, I'll be a happy camper!

I am in on this if someone can confirm that this will fit and Xterra? Any reason why it wouldnt? I am pretty sure we are the same underneath. I have a '05 4x4 OR 6MT

Please advise.

Thanks,
Jim

I sent an e-mail to David earlier today asking if this system would work with the Xterra or the Pathfinder. I haven't heard back! My gut reaction would be no, only because I think the Xterra has a shorter wheelbase. I may be wrong though. I'm pretty definate it won't work with the Pathfinder because it has the independent rear suspension and I think the exhaust gets routed differently because of it. As soon as I hear something from David, I'll let you know, or you can contact him direct and see. His information is in the initial post.

Hey David

Just waiting to hear your review on how it sounds, cabin drone, performance gains/losses, ease of installation, Fuel Mileage, and does it increase low end or top end?

I will confirm after hearing your review.

cheers,
PJB

Jim,

According to David at Premier Truck Accessories, this system will not fit the Pathfinder or the Xterra. He's going to check with JBA to see if they are developing one for these trucks. He also said he's aware of another company who is currently developing an exhaust system for these trucks and he's going to check with them as well to see where they're at and a possible release date. I'll let you know what I find out when I hear back from David.

I think once an actual install has been done and a review/dyno other than that of the manufacturer, in addition to positive results people have been looking for with other exhausts out in the market right now (i.e. cabin drone, low-end power) would make everyone looking for an exhaust jump on board real quick, if it meets all those expectations.

Any updates on when you will have one installed on a shop truck?

I WAS ON JBA WEBSITE AND NOTICED THEY DO NOT LIST ANY EXHAUST FOR THE FRONTIER? I AM INTERESTED BUT I AM WONDERING WHY THEY DO NOT LIST IT ON THERE WEBSITE. I HAVE A 2002 CREW CAB SUPERCHARGED IS THAT INCLUDED IN THE BUY?

The Group Buy is for their new system for the 05/06 Frontier. I honestly don't know if they even make a system for the previous generation Frontier. But, if there's nothing listed on their website, I would think that don't being as that model has been out for a few years.

I just posted a reply to your post under the Mods/MPG Post concerning the Gibson and reviews on Autoanything.com. You can also plug in your Year, Make, and Model on their web site and it will list every system they sell for your specific truck. They also price match and give a 1 year price match guaranty! I just e-mailoed them because I found the Tonneau I bought from them back in November listed on another site for $10.00 less! Hey, $10.00 is $10.00! :lol:

I completely agree with this. Who wants to be the Guinea pig for all of us.

I know David from Permier Truck Accessories is going to do a write-up once they have this system installed on their truck, and another member's truck (I think he's on this forum as well, Screen name Pablo) was actually the test bed for this new system, so hopefully he'll share his views and comments as well. I would think the two of them would be getting two of the first production items so they can have them installed right away.

As Johnny Random stated, the rest of us have to wait till we get another 5 people to commit to the Group Buy, then we'll see ours!

I sent David an email yesterday on the system and he said JBA will be shipping at the end of the month. So we still have a few weeks to go.

I just got this e-mail from Alex Conger at JBA:

Paul,
Here is the most recent information I have available on the new Frontier exhaust. Just received if from the JBA product manager. Thank you for checking with us.

The size of the pipe is 2" & 2-1/2", includes the Y. We were not happy with the drone of the muffler on the production parts. We have some sample mufflers on order, due in this week. Should be shipping in April. No Dyno results, as the muffler is not determined yet.

At least I was able to confirm the size of the pipes! Besides, the longer I wait, the more I'll have saved. This could mean the difference between Aluminized and Stainless Steel!

We are up to 6 confirmed for the GB.

According to JBA, the system should start shipping by the end of the month.

Thanks,
David

I think its great that they are making sure the system does not drone. I don't want something that is going to give me a headache crusing down the highway.
