Description
The STILLEN Cat-Back Exhaust System for the 2019–2023 Nissan Maxima [A36] 3.5L is engineered to deliver improved performance, refined sound, and long-term durability while perfectly complementing the factory exhaust layout.
Constructed entirely from mandrel-bent 304 stainless steel, this cat-back exhaust improves exhaust flow to increase horsepower and torque at the wheels while maintaining a civilized driving experience. The exhaust remains mild and refined at idle and during cruising, but opens up with a deep, aggressive tone under throttle.
Developed using STILLEN’s decades of experience with Nissan’s VQ35 3.5-liter V6, this system enhances performance without introducing drone or harshness. Polished mufflers and precision fitment ensure a clean OEM-plus appearance that aligns perfectly with the factory exhaust cut-outs.
The system is designed for easy bolt-on installation, making it suitable for installation in a home garage or driveway with basic hand tools.
