I always thought on modern Nissans the stock exhaust is not terribly restrictive but the stock cats are.stugry wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 10:05 amIm currently replacing my headers and b-pipes and I cant find anywhere that sells a cat back exhaust for the V8 pathfinders. What are you guys planning on using? The stock cat back costs a fortune but it might be the best bet if I cant find anything else. I'd also prefer to add a deeper less restrictive system if possible.
PS -I had to use a carbide sawzall blade to cut through the stock system. Its got holes completely rusted through in parts and then nearly impossible to cut off less than a foot away from the holes. Crazy

Update: do any of you all have exhaust shop experience? Got the pathfinder bank from a custom exhaust shop today and it sounded great. Went with a borla proxs muffler. When I looked under it I noticed the exhaust shop cut the flange off the cajun b-pipes and welded the pipes onto them. I cant think of a reason why it matters a ton but those b-pipes were nicer and it would have been nice to have the option to change them on my own in the future if I need to. Why would the shop have done that? Lazy? Or is there a structural reason to prefer the weld over the 2 bolt flange? They also extended the tail pipe about 3 inches past the bumper and it looks stupid as hell to me. I didn't have time to deal with it today but I'll be going back to get the tail pipe flush and want to be prepared with the b-pipe question when I go back.
