Description
The STILLEN Mid-Pipe Conversion for the Nissan Maxima [A36] allows owners of STILLEN axle-back exhaust systems to upgrade to a full cat-back configuration for increased performance, improved exhaust flow, and a more aggressive exhaust tone.
Constructed from mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel, this mid-pipe assembly includes a Y-pipe and integrated resonator, engineered to enhance horsepower and torque while maintaining a refined sound profile with no excessive drone. The system is designed to complement the factory exhaust cut-outs and integrates seamlessly with existing STILLEN axle-back exhaust systems.
Using STILLEN’s extensive experience developing performance exhaust systems for Nissan’s VQ35 3.5L V6, this mid-pipe conversion improves exhaust scavenging, reduces backpressure, and increases overall efficiency. Installation is fully bolt-on with no cutting or fabrication required.
