I've been looking at replacing my soon to be falling apart exhaust assembly.
I've noticed that the new Frontier has a heavy duty stainless steel system. It will surely outlast whatever I will purchase after market. The tuned sound from it is fantastic.

The new system has three mufflers, and looks to do away with the y connection.
Would anyone think any reason that with a couple of cuts at a muffler shop that it just doesn't bolt right up to the R51?
I can't think of any reason it won't fit / work, although it's for the 3.8 V6.
Online, the downstream cats and the cross pipe on the 2022 Frontier are direct fits to the R51.

It will obviously not be a bolt-on, but if a competent muffler shop is involved I dont see why not.

Alas, I was in dire need this weekend. The cross pipe was bad and I had my local exhaust shop make a custom Y-tube that connected the two cats to the muffler. The new Frontier exhaust will be a future endeavor, if this piece ever rots away.
So I basically have a 2-piece exhaust instead of the three.
He did a very good job TBH.
The Walker muffler, apparently stainless steel, has held up perfect for 5 salty Canadian winters, and it resonates perfectly. The weak points of the system are the connecting pipes to the muffler, which rotted out slowly.

Never fear.
I will probably do this in the Fall. The price to ship an exhaust to my location was prohibitive so I have to drive to the states and pick one up if the costs are reasonable.
The muffler or something else will eventually degrade up here (salt).
