thanks for the productive response

I appreciate the smart remark but I was referring to the SAME part (borla catback) for two NEW cars and not cars made in different decades...it's okay though I forgive you since I've got a '95 maxima myself

I don't think Tony makes the actual CF mufflers in house.. Ive been to his shop and I'm pretty sure they are made by a company called Sebring (could be wrong though).. I had his new designed X-Pipe and had him custom build it.. I told him I did not want the Magnaflow because I knew the customer X-Pipe was becoming available soon when I first purchased it.

that was just plain dumb on the part of your friend for what basically is just a change in exhaust note. but then again, if you've got the bankroll to burn and it doesn't mean anything....why not I guess.

hahaha bro if ur in the states and you say this .. what do we say here in dubai ?

we have nothing over here for the G so we have to ship from the states .. and shipping cuts u in half ! we pay 470 dollars just for the eibach springs while its 230 dollars in the states .. FI exhaust price is almost +500 dollars more than what you have in the states
