What do you think of my exhaust?

[ejaymclane]

Had to edit this thread, forum messed up and wouldnt lt me make a new one.

Anyway, this is the exhaust my car came with:






I know the pics arent great but what do you make of it. I know nothing about them so does it look like a decent muffler or some ebay junk?

The exhaust is too noisy for my liking, you press the accelerator gently and it fills the cabin with a headache inducing rumble which kills off the stereo.

Would it be easy for a garage to take out this muffler and fit a standard one or because its an aftermarket one will it be harder to change?

Thanks

I'd have to look at when the generations of the Maximas and Malibus (yeah, a GM product) came out, because looking at my camry, which the design is now 15 years old, I'm thinking that at least those two cars have very similar designs but came out a few years after, the maxima expecially. I have a friend who drives a 99 Malibu and parked next to my 95 camry, I can see some similarities in the design, intentional or not. Personally, I like the gen 3 and 4 cars much better than the gen 5, while I would drop most everything I have for a gen 6 now . I know as for the interior, the design of the gen 3 has held up very well over the years, it looks much more organized and put-together than quite a few other cars of those years and even newer.

Yeah, I'd agree with bigbird in thinking that you might have an exhaust leak elsewhere in your system.

Hmmm, what i mean when i say its loud is it cruises fine with a slight rumble but you accelerate and its really noisy. I dont think its a leak because ive had an old car with that fault and its a different kind of sound.

Do garages cut the pipe behind the big box and weld a new one on?
