Most any auto parts store, or just google it. There are literally thousands of online stores where you could buy a tip, if you just search.

IIRC it's 4 or 5" that fits the stock cutout.

I know this is off topic, but does this mean your parents get out of funding your college?

legally, i am not under their control. so they don't have to pay anything. i have the rights and responsibilities of an 18 year old, including obtaining credit. lucky for me, i have a 4.0 gpa and i've been offered a couple of full ride scholarships so far.

I had a nice muffler tip just like that pic when I bought my car. Unfortunately I needed a new muffler to pass inspection so they took it off, but I asked to keep the tip so they just cut it off with the old piece of original muffler still inside. It's still sitting in my trunk next to my spare 3 years later... I'd sell it if you want one that looks just like that

I posted this in the other "exhaust tip" thread: I have a 3.5" chrome tip, even, rounded tip, for sale. I got two when I bought mine and it looks very clean in the bumper cutout. PM me if you're interested.

id say hit the internet.
i got a big muffler but my tip on it was too short and my maxima is white and with a tip that is too short you get this black stuff on the top of the bumper and it wont come off all the way. but with my 96 maxima and a big pipe and no resonator it sounds like a beast. get about 2 inch piping from the res. back and your set in my opinion

now this is off topic but can someone tell me why when i try to accelerate my car sputters and i have to push the gas more than i should to make it get up to speed?
just shoot me an email asap at
xstuartx91@yahoo.com
