I'm considering installing a new exhaust tip on my 98 SE. I've seen some of the larger ones on Subaru WRX's and think they look pretty sharp. I'm considering the one below. Does anyone have this one? Does it look good? Too ricey? Any other suggestions? Can anyone tell me the diameter of the outlet pipe of a stock muffler.

Looks OK in the picture, 4" does sound kind of big. Your car, what ever turns you on.

 

it looks good in the pic

 

Here's a 4".

Note how the outside diameter of the tip nearly perfectly matches the diameter of the bumper cover notch.

 

^^^ That's what I was thinking , thanks for the pic, it looks good on your Maxima although I may consider 3" - 3.5" instead.

 

i did 2.5" cat back

 

not to thread jack but, isn't an exhaust tip on the stock muffler likely gonna sound kinda ricey?

I don't know much about this stuff so I'm just curious, as I'm looking into my own exhaust.

 

No the tip alone does very little or nothing to change the sound.

 

What he said...Tip has nothing to do with sound.

 

I have a 4.5 inch tip and 3 inch cat back wooo lol.


doesnt sound too ricey

 

my 4in megan muffler i found for 15 $

 

You don't seriously have an eBay 'electric supercharger' on your car, do you?

 

yeah that doesnt look stupid at all being that you can clearly see that the diameter of the pipe is cut in half not 5 inches past the end of the tip.

anything over 3.5 is over kill. I have an sp2 and have always thought it looks like a damn fart can.

 

hahaha no i did buy one tho and it is junk i use it now to blow dust off my funiture

 

it probably broke because of all that boost your electric supercharger is putting out

 

Personally, I think a 2.5" tip would be just fine. No need for anything bigger, unless you have a bigger exhaust. Tip size = Exhaust size is my philosophy.

 

yes was senseless idea deff FAIL!!!

 

I have a chrome bolt/weld on 3.5" tip for sale if you're interested. Looks almost exactly like the one you have linked. Let me know.

 

I'm not sure if anyone else is aware, but there is another thread, the exact same in fact, ongoing right now too. There is info on this if you search.

 

3.5 ftw. Trust me. I have the rear stillen pieces and it fits in there so snugly and doesn't hang low.

 

I have a 3in tip. You can see it here in an exhaust video I made.

I dont remember the exact size, around 3-3.5 but this is large enough for me. Its a cheapy bolt on Pilot Motorsports tip from the auto parts store.




OT: You have your transmission breather connected to your intake. Bad idea.

 

Holy hell, good catch.
