exhaust tip finisher

i recently got an aftermarket replacement muffler on my car. (the cheaper alternative to the OEM nissan one). Now when i look at the back of my car i miss looking at the sleek OEM tip thats exclusive to 5th gens. I have to look at these two little angle cut "pipettes" I want to regain the nice sleek look so im looking for an aesthetically pleasing replacement. can anyone recommend a nice one? please post pics too

thanks

-dave

P.S. it doesn't necessarily have to cover both pipes. im willing to get 2 individual ones...nothing ricey though.

Theres a guy on here sellin 2 polished exhaust tips. Theyre 5" long and look real nice. I have the angled exhaust tips as well and want something to cover them up but all tips seem to be for straight application. Good luck. Hope this helps.

+1 on the Magnaflow tips...Part# 35131

Close to the stock look, the ends are cut at an angle instead of straight.

Another option can be the 6th gener's tips. When I had to swap my muffler out, I went with this option.

These tips are a little angled. Got them at my local Pep Boys.

Since you have a Sterling mist, this is what your car would look like with the magnaflows, minus the body kit. My tips are kinda high but they do not touch the rear valence. No burn marks either.

Looks only. No sound or performance change. Let me know if you wanna look at it in person.

ok so you have to weld them on? i think i might jus take it to an exhaust shop and have them do that and take out the resonator at the same time.

what?
i said that you can weld them on anyway (meaning, slated or not). that statement implies that they have to be welded on.
you are welcome

Did you cut the cattman? Or simply just covered it with magnaflow?

A popular choice on the .org is the magnaflows, they look like an aggressive yet stock look.
