If you run the stock muffler, nono-resonated is fine.

If you are planning on runing a stock muffler and plan on getting a y-pipe then i dont recomend it. it will sound like crap. It sounds quest in the cab but i let someone drive my car and i couldn't belive the noise. It was bad. But if your not getting a y-pipe you should still get resonated just incase. I recomend magnaflow, thats what i got and i love the sound(no raspyness)

planning on just y pipe with stock muffler
just for comparison purposes:
w/out resonator is $160 shipped from budget exhaust
w/ resonator is $205 shipped from budget exhaust
eventually i'm going FI, so I was just considering a cattman or frankencar catback instead. So many options available.
maxspeed: so your saying a y pipe with stock muffler sounds bad?

well it sounds bad on a forth gen so i think the same on a fith gen. It sounds quiet in the cab but pops and putters outside the car.
Also i regret not getting a catback. I orderd form budget and i had some fitment issues and had to get 2 new hangers welded and it hung low and was kinda unsatisfied. but only a few people had this problem with budget.

Have you ever heard it outside the car?
Does it make a puttering sound ?
Cause it could be diffrent on the forth gen muffler. My plan was to put a fifth gen muffler but after i ran my exhasut with the stock muffler i was embarised. It sounded like a mo-ped. But maybe to you this sound is "good" .

Yup. My Cattman Y, custom catback, no resonator and 5th gen muffler has got to be the best out there. Although the Greddy catback sounded really good. But it's $$$$$

No B Pipe at all. You will not gain any better time in the 1/4 adding one. You will just get louder. If it were me I would simply get a Y pipe, Test Pipe and leave the rest, especially with the 5th gen muffler. You will have a quiet exhaust and produce the best power all around, especially low end.

Did he have y-pipe?? man i wish i recorded it cause it would save alot of money for many people.
I thought it sounded nice till i heard it from outside the car.
Im not even talking with resonator or without, im sayin just using the stock muffler with y-pipe , and b-pipe sounds like crap on a 4th gen.

The purpose i ask whether resonated or not is because of the $40 price difference. I'm leaning towards resonated in case I break down and buy a muffler later.
maxspeed: i know the sound you are talking about. We have a org member with a 96 maxima, y pipe + b pipe with factory muffler..... it sounds funny.

Tsk Tsk Tsk Larry. You need a 3" exhaust, no cat, no resonator, and a 3" turbo Apexi N1 muffler. It might be a tad loud, but nothing a set of ear plugs, and ear muffs can't take care of.
Yes sleepers OWn!

I had a 97 SE with a budget y, resonated b and 5th gen muffler.... it was quiet driving till ya get on it, then it had a nice rumble to it. Its the best exhaust ive heard on a maxima yet. Im currently looking to trade in my 2003 Jeep for a 2001 Maxima.... first few mods will be an intake then a y and resonated b pipe.

you were right about budget having good prices

I have a warpspeed y-pipe and stock from there back.........and I cant stand the little high pitched putter/burbble the stock exhuast makes. It doesnt sound good at all. I cant imagine what it would sound like with a non resonated b-pipe lord.....
I've thought about getting non resonated for the simple fact of me buying my own longer resonator and putting it on. I think warpseed only uses a 18" I would prefer a 23-26" resonator. Thats the only reason I can see to buy one without a resonator.

Anybody have a sound clip of their Ypipe, Bpipe, and 5th Gen Muffler setup? I would like to hear this.
I have a Budget Ypipe, and I am considering soon a Budget Resonated Bpipe, with a Magnaflow muffler. But if a 5th Gen Muffler sounds nice, I may have to jump on that.

Make sure you get a resonater, I just got my resonater installed after doing a custom straight through bpipe with a Dynomax muffler, it sounds like **** at times. Now with the resonater its all smooth and sounds nearly like a 350z, it has that nice deep smooth rumble and screams all the way to redline without any raspyness now.

Resonated. I had the joy of listening to 4th gen, with no resonator....it's loud, it's drony, and it's extremely raspy...definately get one with a resonator. Besure it has the resonator that is preforated, and not the ones that have the little notches sticking out in the exhaust stream.
