You gotta pay to play. That's why the site is customamxima.com and NOT averagemaxima.com FYI, if you have a good local muffler shop, you can get one done for less than $500.

Dual Exhaust Setup
Take it from me. This dual exhaust setup is awesome...I can't go anywhere with people turning heads or coming up to me at gas stations and asking questions! If you're looking for a noticeable horse power gain, sure there is some of course (like with most other high-end aftermarket exhaust system),but I for one love the way it looks and the way it sounds!! I've had people tell me...that my car sounds like a deep v-8 rolling up...haha. Well hope this little write up helps....any questions...please feel free to ask away! Lata!

Hate to break it to you but for forced induction, there is more flow to be had by a larger single exhaust. So it's looks either way

Re: Dual Exhaust Setup
Jermeiah,
You car looks great. Did you get your rear bumper molded on like Corey did? If not, how's the fit between the Skyline rear bumper againest the side of the rear quarter panel?

Quarter panels w/kit
Actually, the Skyline kit's lines for the rear bumper match evenly with the lines with the rest of the car. To answer your question, no I did not have my bumper molded to the rest of my car like Corey had done. But I like it just the same though the way it is 
Thanks for the props man by the way. Lata!

2) Duals are a personal preference - to me, I don't like them, but I get how someone could.
3) But your rims just suck.

If you don't like the rims......well....
I just wanted to point out to the gentleman who said, “your rims suck” in regards to my Maxima. My point is two-fold. First of all, although obscurely titled, this thread is supposed to be about people’s impressions of the dual exhaust. I replied with my succinct write up as to how I felt about this product. This thread was not intended as a forum for one’s impression on how my “rims suck”. No, I’m not telling people how to act, nor am I a judge. It would be ostentatious for me to do so. What I do feel though, it is rather discordant to express opinions in such crude and deconstructive manner. In the future I think it would be prudent if people were more considerate and lent helpful information. . . . And by the way, yes I am getting new wheels in the spring; now, that I can finally afford new ones and dispose of the wheels that I have now. Thank you.

Remember that wasnt even the topic. His exhaust was, and his exhaust probabbly cost more than any of your's or some of your wheels anyway.
Ive said it before and again: "some of you are complete queers."

Go to your local custom muffler shop. Get this:
-2.5" crush bent b-pipe with 20-22" glasspack resonator
-flowmasters 80 series (2 chambered) camaro muffler
-2.25" pipe hooking to one of the mufflers outlets and run it around the tire well by crush bending.
-3.5" chrome tips
All this, includinginstallation, should cost you around $400 minus the tips. The muffler is too thin to be visible from any angle, so don't worry about that.
As far as duals being rice, that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard. My exhaust sounds meaner then 98% of all Maxima's on here. Rice is a Single Greddy catback with a huge tipped fart can with a monotone huuuuuuuuum. How are 2 nicely proportioned chrome tips at either side of the bumper rice? does the muffler have to pop out of the bottom like a bee hive for it to be "cool"? Sorry but just about everyone I've talked to prefer duals over single exhaust. It sounds better, it looks much better, and it is much more aggressive. So you haters stick to your huge canisters and keep dreaming of steam pouring out of twin tips.
Oh, and I definatally have the power to back up my "ricey dual exhaust".

People call it rice not because of the way it looks but because of the fact that it's for show rather than go.
Personally I like dual exhausts on the Max, but I can't justify spending the extra money to have a dual setup, I only spend money to make my car faster.

I had my tip tucked up and hidden. Now I just need to fill in my exhaust half-circle. I'll be doing that this summer (along with some other things).

On the other hand, I don't really like the back of the skyline kit with the duals. I think the cutout portions around the bottom of the bumper are too big or something. Craig, I like yours better because they're a little more subtle.

Well I think?
It comes down to personal preference. If you like symmetry and a killer bass "drone" get duals. If you're all about light weight and ET's get a single. Make your choice and stop talking sh*t about people for making theirs.
P.S Duals rule.
