btw, that muffler still gets me compliments from all the greddy and apexi guys at every meet to this day...they all come over when I start up my car and leave there's running and ask where I got such a quiet, rich sounding muffler...

nice... i got the rolled edge 3 1/2"... thinking in my head, it doesn't "sound" bad... but holding my hands in a 3 1/2" circle, i feel like a ricer...

im glad others like the sound, what other exhaust mods you got?

3 1/2 won't be too big. The Greddy SP has a 4.5 inch tip, and even that looks fine on a maxima because of the size of the car, and the size of the bumper cut out.

I like the look of the stock 5th gen muffler with the chrome oval tip over both pipes. That is what I have. Check out my www to see.

like I said, I have that tip and it doesn't look ricey at all!!! anything bigger starts to look ricey though...the 3.5 inch chrome rounded edge, single wall, angle cut one...which is what I presume you got, looks very modest and professional....like you have a performance muffler rather then a coffee can/fart can in the eyes of others...

It's all a matter of personal taste so draw your own conclusions, mines 4 1/2" but it's a complete axleback Topspeed muffler not an add on tip, my son loves it, I think I did it more for him! LOL

The apexi WS is actually a 3.98" tip. It looks big IMO. I'm looking to buy a tip with 2 2.5" or 3" oulets.
