where could i get quad tips?

[aphu]

i want quad tips for my altima. where can i get them from? ive looked around..cant seem to find any.. i currently have top speed performce dual cat back exhaust. kinda getting tired of them...

[ShadowAC]

to get quads you need to go to a muffler shop and get custom, i think magnaflow makes a dual tip muffler and you just have to get custom piping and twins of those

[aphu]

That shouldn't be too expensive right?

Check with Hussain, he has them but you will have to modify the rear defuser to make them fit.

^ Yep, HussaiN has them on his A/C and he has videos of it on YouTube as well. Looks pretty slick, but a little too flashy for me personally. If you do in fact part with your TS exhaust, be sure to remember I got first dibs

borla sells real nice quad tips

borlas are soooo expensive...

[wade001]

quad tips wont fit without cutting the factory rear diffuser.... my brother was getting rid of his corvette and gave me his aftermarket quad tips. I already had a magnaflow dual exhaust system (custom set-up). so I cut the rear diffuser to make room for the quad tips.

here are the tips


I got a saw and cut off the piping I had coming out from the muffler. I then cut the rear diffuser to make room for the tips. It was easy for me because I already had the tips and could measure how wide the 2 tips (per side) were and make cuts accordingly. The factory diffuser has 3 fins, 1 in the middle and 1 by each muffler tip. I cut off the 2 by the muffler tips (I'll add them back on some day to make it look better).

here is the rough cut




No tips


one side done


both sides done










a little rendering of how it will look after I put the 2 fins back on

stop with the photos already!!!!! its make me jelly =(

[aphu]

Hell yeah I'm so jealous... It's so sick though. But it's a lot of work haha.

[Hussain]

lol it's not too much work. my advice is check with a local muffler shop... it was $100 to do 2.5" cat-back exhaust and $160 or $260 (pretty sure $160) for the magnaflow muffler installed. so cost wise you're looking at like $260 or $360 plus tips and maybe 2 y-pipes. so in total like $450 to $600 for everything (price varies by place and type of muffler and tips).

you wont be able to use your current exhaust so after selling that, it should pay for most of it.

as far as work goes, get some tips and measure them (with a little gap in between each tip) and you'll know how much room you'll need for the tips and just take a saw to it and cut. for a really nice look you could take it to a body shop and have them put the fins back on and paint it (since 2010+ have color matched rear diffusers).

keep us updated if you decide to go through with it

My man Tony could hook you up. Without cutting the diffuser you're prolly looking at 2" maybe 2.5 inch quad tips. Cutting you can go 3"+ the gen coupes got the massive 4" tips. For the quad tips it was 100 each. So with extra piping your prolly looking at 330 maybe less.

[aphu]

Yeah I don't think I wanna cut my rear diffusors so yeah.. But ima def keep y'all updated if I go through with it

[aphu]

ive decided to get quad tips!

[Hussain]

NICE! what kind of set-up are you going to have? are you going to have a body shop put the fins back on or just leave them off for a while?

[aphu]

magnaflow tips with custom midpipe w/glasspack. i want to put the fins back on but i have a 2010 altima and the diffusor isnt black:(. so i think it will cost alot to put them back on. but i want to put themn back on....

[Irvxing]

Damn dude I cant believe you beat me to this

[aphu]

yeah dude just waiting for someone to buy my top speed exhaust!
