alright, now that this mod has been around for several months, i was wondering if anyone on the forum went a different route and put in a magnaflow rear muffler instead of a flowmaster. i'm thinking about going that route.

Yes I did, see page 5 of this thread, it is not loud but but a nice deep performance tone.

 

alrighty i'm gonna check out pricing by the end of this week and hopefully have this mod done by the end of next week.

haha. i didn't want to do it before winter set in and i wanted to see if we would be trading the MO in sometime soon. winter is over and the Murano is here to stay for a couple more years so here we go haha.

 

I never got around to getting mine done. I have the parts just laying in the basement.

I got hit earlier today so I'm just waiting to see if its totalled or not...... I'll make a new thread with pics later

Quick Exhaust Fix

I finally got tired of seeing that mid-muffler hanging there in front of my snow-plow fuel shield. So, I went to the local Midas. Mr. Midas suggested that, with the ginormous muffler in the back, the middle muffler is likely unnecessary.

So, they took it out and welded-in a piece of straight pipe. I can hardly hear a difference in the exhaust sound (tone or volume). My wife didn't notice a difference either. I don't hear a rice-burner tone like Linky described when he removed his mid-muffler.

In addition to not having to see it, my MPG has gone up... from 16.9 to 18.5. That's with slightly-oversized Yokohama Geolandars..... I think the actual MPG number is about 5% higher due to the tire size...

So, overall I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

I appreciate everyone's willingness to share their experiences - thanks to all.

How does it sound? Similar to an FX or FM exhaust? I am debating which route to go as I get good prices on Magnaflow over Flowmaster but most people on this forum has gone with the Flowmaster.

Do you have a sound clip?

 

Re: MAGNAFLOW 14266

Well, I went ahead and did it, I installed a Magnaflow 14266 and 14865 in the center, muffler shop used 2.25 pipe, from the cat all the back. Sounds nice and deep, and is not much louder than factory installed. But my biggest fear with doing this is that my MPG would suffer, in fact it has gone to other side. I use to get 18-19 MPG, but now I get 22-23 in traffic, can not wait to make a road trip, great power and very good acceleration.

So I am very confused, here. Could someone who has much greater knowledge about this tell, or me or come up with an idea. As how heck this mod has got things so much better. Honestly I was after a deeper tone, and was willing the pay the price in lost MPG.

any sound clips?

 

Guys Try the Tanabe Hyper Medallion it sound really nice quiet on the start but one you hit the Accelator you hear a roar. I have it on mine

 

Linky, you're the best! This is precisely what I want for my MO, and it's cheap too (only $100 on Amazon)! I think the stock exhaust tone sounds very empty and gutless. I want an exhaust tone that is subtle during normal driving, but has an aggressive growl when you punch it that matches its aggressive looks (not loud and/or ricey). This mod is strickly a sound enhancement, not intended for any performance gains (you would need to overhaul the entire exhaust system with a cold-air intake, headers, true dual exhaust and less sound dampers for significant gains...iow, stock car missing 2 cylinders!). I hope to have this done in the springtime!

Bambus, I appreciate your YouTube - Stock VS FlowMaster video comparing the stock muffler sound to the FlowMaster from both outside and inside the cabin. Well done sir!

On a side note, Linky, you still around?

 

so I'm also wanting to make my Murano sound more like the 350Z/G35/FX35. Is the original post on this thread still the best solution?

 

I just got this done with the flowmaster 80 series in the back with a 40 series for the mid with 2.5 from the cats back and i would say that it sounds comparable to 350/fx/g35 with mild exhaust (75-80% sound match) thanks for the heads up linky!!! great job!

 

looks pretty good!

What size are you tips? 4"? What did the setup run you in $$? Im looking to do the same thing this spring.

yeah, they're 4" oval, double roll, double wall stainless. total cost was around $400US. a majority of that was for the welding and piping (I ran 2.5" from the cat back) that part was $230.

 

so just the 80 series exhaust isn't enough? I'm thinking I'm going to try only this for a while and see how I like it.. maybe I'll change the mid later.

 

A few questions.

I have an 07 that I plan on modding this summer. With the exhaust tips, do they make the exhaust sound any louder?

With the Z Tube, should I buy the one without the filter and then use the pop charger on the end?

Thanks

 

Just put in the order for the FM! Under $100 with free shipping from Amazon! :7:

My mechanic said to make sure it was not a universal fit but 'true fit' or something to that affect. He basically said he doesn't have the equipment to bend pipes and such. Does anyone know if the FM needs any special piping work or if it's essentially "plug-and-play"?

Thanks,

Patrick

EDIT: This muffler needs custom piping to work. It cost $150 for the total install.

 

Anyone running a Magnaflow? If so, what is the model number? How does it sound compared to the posted Flowmaster clip?

Im asking because I get Magnaflow at cost pricing.

 

Just switched my stock out w flowmaster 80 series today. Sounds awesome!

 

Sounds amazing!
I actually did mine too about 6 months ago and love it.
I have actually had 3 people ask me if I have a G35/37 exhaust when at a red light.
I did swap out the tips for a larger one too!

Couldnt find any video clips of a mo without its mid muffler so i took my chances and went to an exhaust shop to remove it and was really disapointed, i must be death because i couldnt tell a differents, i would not recomend removing it, its just a wast of 40-50$.
