wont show me the thread man. says access not allowed.

 

Just go to Pep Boys, they have a lot of different tips. Maybe get two 5" long 2.5" diameter tips and bolt or weld them to your stock tips.

but he's on a roll...

 

Better ninja edit the double post there....

 

they say two different things.

two better ways he could have acquired his info

 

btw, magnaflow tips
and use the n00b thread, faqs, other forums, etc!

 

he has started 5 new thread in the last two days. all pointless threads.

if only the mods would control this like they had promised

 

That's what I get for quickly scanning the posts.

 

What are exhaust tips?

 

I deleted the other threads, i would like to leave this one open if thats cool with you

 

this is the one you decided to keep? the one that has already been answered?

 

answered with one post saying to get magnaflow tips. Im sure there are others out there which different people have tried and may look better. I am not trying to cause any trouble, so please dont take it that way. The other questions i had were answered so i took them down.

search didnt help much either.

 

i see....so n00bs should use that newbie thread?

i nominate you as mod...

 

magnaflow

 

thanks soonerfan, that looks wicked!

is that ur car?

 

yes.

that pic has been posted in about 15 threads talking about exhaust tips.

 

to keep the theme of pointless going, ill change the subject

soonerfan... in the first post you did on this thread it states that you have to donate to search, i have donated and can search, but if you dont donate you cant search?
if so that would explain some of the worthless questions on the org

 

also from my post

the newbie thread was created for people that want answers but dont want to search. some people think they are too good to use a common thread. like their question is someone better and deserves its own thread.

 

ok ill make my question clearer

noobs cant search?
thanks

 

and i'll make my answer clearer

YES THEY CAN

 

Get a Super Pimp exhaust tip:

 

too pimp for me man..

sooner how did you do your tails? is that just film that you put on or paint?

my search on google didnt find much at all, got a few threads but nothing close to what i was looking. Do you have a google search link with the search?

ill make a donation soon.

 

00-01 SE tails

 

this is what i have on my sled...

magnaflow

 

google search: exhaust+tips site:forums.maxima.org

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&c...rg&btnG=Search

 

sooner i did that, and came up with the same search, didnt find much on those threads.

But i think i got the answer, im probably gonna go with the magnaflow tips as well, looks nice.

 

Watch your self. You may get banned with that "new" rule.

 

yo sooner wut are u lowerd on?...looks nice my rear looks just like yours, only in sterling silver, and not lowerd ofcourse hahah

 

If you like the look of the magnaflows, try to spring for the cattman catback...simular tips but more performance

 

a cattman catback gives performance

sound only

 

Here is the tips I got from pepboys. They look pretty good. I don't have it on the car anymore since I got the catback.

 

Are we assuming that dynos are no longer an acceptable way to measure power?

 

you have a dyno to prove that a catback increased performance? anything less that 5hp is not considered a real gain. everyone knows that a catback is for sound. the little gains you get are from the b-pipe...not the muffler.

 

i cut off that ugly piece of metal wrapped around my exhaust tips and stuck 2 pep boys tips on there.. they looked really nice when new, but they get like.. deterioration spots on them kinda fast



excuse the dirtiness.. it just snowed here and the car hasn't been washed yet.. they dont look quite THAT bad when they're clean.. they still have shine to them if you wipe them off.. all in all, i think they look very nice and it's a BIG improvement over stock.. these only cost like... 20 bucks maybe all together? versus those magnaflow tips that will run you over 70 for 2

heres another one when the car is clean.. they're shiny, but you can still see the rust spots:

 

I am assuming you know nothing...

If you think a 5th Gen Maxima makes any real power from a Cat-Back, you just proved me right.

Besides, Dynos are not as reliable as many people make them out to be. WAY to many variables can change the outcome of a dyno to make reading the "power" increase (3-5whp) reliable.

Also, if you think 3-5whp gain is a performance mod… You really need help.

As Sooner said, they are for sound, not performance.
