I am looking for an inexpensive way to make my exhaust look better. I am not interested in sound or performance. Ideally I just want to replace the stock mufflers with some polished stainless ones. I have seen a bunch of 4" polished mufflers on ebay but and worried about quality and also if they are going to make the car sound rice. Anyone had luck with something like this?

 

you need to specify clearly... you want canister or chambered...?

 

He wants mufflers not exhaust tips. Gotta wonder why someone might want a polished item that, for the most part, is not visible.

 

I'm also interested in this. I dont really care for a change in sound or performance I would just like to change the look of the exhaust with something more polished.

 

reread his op then reread mine...

 

I want it to look like the attached picture below but I don't want to start changing pipes and removing resonators and all that. If I take the stock off and put something like this on does it make it louder?
I have WDP with the aspec kit just like the pic and think it looks very nice. I am so anal with my car that once a month I take the wheels off and wipe down the undercarriage. So, having a polished exhaust is important to me.

 

 

Yes, I read his and I read yours and of course, I know he was most likely talking about exhaust tips. But then again his last post with the picture clearly looks and speaks like he wants both.

I had a catback system on my 2002 Altima SE which was sold through a California dealer and made by Magnaflow. Looked and sounded great.. much better than Greddy Evo systems I had heard on the same model car.

 

magnaflow mufflers are a great choice.. but, you are still gonna have to "weld" them on to the old exhaust, and hack up your OEM pipes... there are no direct quick muffler swaps.. the passanger side muffler, is one solid metal pipe all the way to the cat.. only the other muffler detachs

 

I wonder if he's looking for something like this

Looks like that Universal Top Speed Pro is just another fart tip for a ricer, probably not what Tim is looking for. I would not want it on my TL.

 

any aftermarket muffler will change the exhaust note, unless u get silencers

 

ok so you want a chambered muffler with a nice tip... look up the apexi ws2

 

I really appreciate all the advice. I was looking at the stuff on ebay but I am scared of it due to the price alone. (You get what you pay for) the last thing I want to do is "cheapen" my car. I really like what is on the picture I posted, not sure what it is though. The magnaflows I have found for like 140 each and I realize an exhaust shop would need to cut the factory stuff off and weld the new ones in. I guess I will go that route. Thanks again everyone.
