I bet Mr.Diamond doesnt have any pics eh? Well KB, that would be a pain if I wanted a muffler. Im just going to do what Scott did with his setup (search: exhaust in the J30 Forums), except have one pipe to the right and left sides. Then Im going to the auto parts store, getting a two tips that looks like a Y )one inlet, dual outlets), and having the exhaust place weld them on each pipe for both the left and right sides. I will have to see how they can cut a hole on the right side since I dont have a dremel

yo nala, I seriously reccomend getting a Dremel, you never know how many uses you have for them untill you get one. My sub $3 diamond cutting wheel alone does the work of several cutting tools alone, never mind the sanding, polishing, and the tungsten carbide cutters. you are one trip from home depot from a super ultra win. and then this project becomes cake, or at least much more cake-ish.

Well, I went to Mavis and they said they dont do exhaust. Then I went to Mineki, and i am never going back again. I walk into the office, there is this guy behind the desk. "what do you want", he said while looking at me, a Teenager with a Ford shirt (mom got it). "Id like to get an exhaust estimate" (gave me dirty look). "What car". "An Infiniti J30" (I could tell he didnt know what that was). "what you want" (I show him a drawing). "Thats not possible" "Umm, you want to take a look at the car, ive seen it done before (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2917585). "You can do it" "I looked at the car, and there is space for a pipe to go around the tire well" "You cant do it" (He wouldnt look at the car). "How much for just an aftermarket muffler" "we charge 85 an hour" Then I left. **** U MINEKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I say just do a dual tip on the side that the original muffler was on. If you just want dual exhausts, then I say go with a single tip on either side. Dual tips on a dual exhaust on a J30...too ricey looking for me. Just my opinion.
