maybe they're a little larger on a g35 or g37, but they don't stick out of the back.

DO NOT DO IT! or if you do, take it to a local muffler shop and have them do it with real tips (not the pep boys ones).... or you could just get an actual exhaust system and put cool tips on it

I'm with the crowd. Buy a G35 muffler from a junk yard. Don't go around clamping on exhaust tips.

The G35 muffler wouldn't work on the 2.5 - the 2.5's have dual mufflers (like the stillen setup for the 3.5), whereas the G35 and Z and 3.5 A/C all have the one muffler, 2 exit port setup.

None Taken. I won't be putting my Cat-Back until like April of 09. Trying to clear up some debt and school loans. I always wondered why Nissan didn't make the Exhuast tips stick out like the G35/7 maybe it'll be too similar. I mean't to change the muffler and just put exhuast

Erm...nope. The 2.5's have a single can with two exit ports, just like the 3.5's.

Yes, the 2.5 sedans have two mufflers, the coupes have one. To the OP: the exhaust tips do come off. If you grab it, twist and pull, they'll come off.

Don't Take this the wrong way, but, It always makes me laugh when someone corrects somebody's Spelling with something as bad or Worse... Maybe it was a Joke ??

Spelt.... Really ?

And I do realize this thread is 7 Years old...
