What would it take to put Dual Pipes on a G35 sedan.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I don't understand why only the G35 sedan didn't get the dual pipe look that all the other VQ's have (Altima, Maxima, G35c, Murano, M35, FX35, and Z)

I really want to do a cat back system on my G but i want Dual Exit Pipes... not this cram it all into one side of the car crap!

If there is a reason for not being done do you think i could remove the Muffler and the coupe mid pipe, Put in a Dual set up and have custom stright pipes to the exit without any muffler?

What would it take and why hasn't it been done yet?

C'mon Jeff.. I know you have some good Ideas

TampaG35, I think it would require simply re mounting the hanger points in the coupe locations, and removing any old stock exhaust components... but beware, the exhaust resonator is the size of your fathers biggest suitcase, swear.

I've often thought of this... he he, it would be sick

Ya might need spacer too, because the sedan's extra length.

ya might need a new rear bumper...or a hack saw

I have the coupe mid pipe in now... I was looking to get like a Borla setup from a coupe and not use the mufflers or find really small mufflers that can be used. I know the pass side of the car has less room by design.

I wonder if there is anything in the way of the rear section?

[CYO44Baseball32]

Only one way to find out, look under the car

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Looks like plastic covinger maybe the fuel system? IDK

It was raining when I went outside and looked.

I wonder if myabe there is room after the y pipe to put in two smaller Mufflers like the mustangs do and then after that pipes str8 back!



The current muffler sits lower than the bottom of the trunk anyway! WHo cares if a pipe runs under either side like that?

Might look like this when it is done!

and you can't say that wouldn't be sweet!

Agreed ...it does look great and I have no idea how to do it. I'm sure someone will chime in.. That last pic you posted looks HAWT!

[RED_DET]

There is a valve and pressure sensor in the EVAP box that need to remain up there.

That system is used to purge and vent the fuel tank. The oem fuel cap is a venting cap everything would be fine. Well it is, except for when you are trying to get gas! There is no way for the air in the tank to vent when the filler line is full of fuel. So it takes 20 minutes to fill up your gas tank. So you must find another spot to put the system.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

So where should it be moved to... I am all for taking out the spare and putting it in that area. Do you think that would be an easy fix?

I Really like the look of it if it stayed with the stock muffler on both sides.. I don't think there is enough room but I will have to jack it up to find out!

DJ

[Focusedintntions]

also what could have kept it from working is the shape of the gas tank....

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Ok.. I jacked it up and took the plastic cover off of it!

It looks like it would be a lot of work to move it.

I think we need to go back to the first idea, Put in a true dual exhaust.

We would have to remove the Y pipe and mid pipe, and muffler!

Then I could install a y pipe that is a dual H set up not a X and use a small set of mufflers to put before the differential! Then I can run the 2 pipes to the rear for the dual exits... I could find a Y splitter that would give me the look of 4 like in my picture! I also would have chrome tips and paint the pipe like a black or gunmetal color with 1200 deg heat paint!

You need to do something to your bumper also. Don't you?

[RED_DET]

It has to be moved out of the way and somewhere close to the vicinity its in now. Any room by the spare tire area?

[RED_DET]

If you have the aero lip, you can just cut out an area to look similar to the other side.

[tollboothwilley]

I have seen a car do is swap before. It is told that it was a PITA. I think there is a video on YouTube that i saw sometime ago.

Had to cut out his bumper, relocate the Evap system for the gas tank... Spent way too much time and money but he did it.

Just saw this thread now as I've been wanting/wondering the same thing since these beauties came out with the 6MT mid-2003... I love/have loved the sedans regardless of their single "dual-piped" outlet. Now that I have one in my possession, like most people, want more more more!

It is lame! ESPECIALLY lame that Nissan has marketed dual exhaust tips for even the 4 banger 2.5 Altimas in their new design. People love to take off those displacement badges to disguise whether they're driving the 2.5 or the 3.5, those bastards! But yeah, 1st gen G35 sedans would be so sexy with quad tips, similar to the 6th gen Maximas.

Wife would even let me spend some $$$ if there were a system to be had.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Any idea where we can find that video?.. Im game for doing it and an entire write up to go with it!

DJ

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

I think what i want done is to cut the mid pipe sorter and move the resignator towards the front of the car and mount the muffler right after the midpipe resignator.... (before the differential)

Then weld pipes from each of the two opening (one small pipe to each side)

This would give me the same sound that I have now and then i Could get Chrome Y's for the tips of each pipe! The pipe would run along the bottom of the car (painted flat black so that you wouldn't see them.) Nothing would hang lower than it does now on the back of the car so it will still look sweet!

All I wold have to do is weld mounting brakets to each side and then cut the plastic to make each side look the same!

I would add a heat sheild for the side with the fuel box!

What do you guys think???

Here is what the sedan would look like with out the mufflers and with twin pipes... pretend the muffler isn't located back there any more!

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Getting a smaller muffler might also be of help!

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

It would look someting like this... Use your Creative skills lol

[TISon28s]

Actually, you would end up losing a couple hp. Keep it a single. Less paths to pass, with less curves in the piping. If you still want to go dual, just have straight pipes coming from the headers to the back. Doing do with a resonator, you would lose power without a doubt. It's been proven.

[TISon28s]

Also, if you turn the coupe into single, you get more whp. I have a friend that's done many dual to single conversions. Dyno proven.

[TeflonG35]

Be Original, Do side pipes. Lol.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

Im not going to change anything lol... If the Muffler was moved back before the Diff... The same set up.

That picture that has a coupe resignator and a sedan resignator is just for show.

WHere the sedan resignator is I would put my muffler!

Then I would put a pipe to each side from the two pipes that come out of my muffler!

Is that clearer ???

What do you think about that... Not really changeing any thing just making it look better!

DJ

[TeflonG35]

I think this is going to be a time consuming project no mater how you tackle it. But hey if you succeed you could be a Sedan Hero. A pioneer in neglected sedan history. Or you could have an epic fail. Either way take lots of pictures and save up some "Oh **** money"

[Slider4105]

SIDE PIPES FTMFW! I would drive up to Tampa to help you put those biatches on.

[Tampa G35 Sedan 6MT]

But that would Look like $hit on a G35...

I should just cut holes in the hood and run 6 pipes right from the motor to there... NOthing out the back



I need better feedback guys!
