It won't work at all, The back pipe wont go over the rear beam and there isn't room for the muffler on the driver side.

****..what about the 3.5 altima exhaust? Probably the same problem? It seems that the issue is with our car, not the other exhausts?

Altima is the same issue.

Yes it's because are cars are so much different. Problems are rear suspention, evap canister in the way, and spare tire holder in the way.

6th gen exhaust would probly fit a 3rd gen maxima better than a 4th or 5th.

it's not worth getting that dual exhaust look...our maxima looks just fine with single exhaust and the dual tips...having dual will look somewhat awkward for this car...it's kind of ghetto too just like a couple weeks ago i saw a corolla with dual exhaust lol

I wouldn't say not possible. But, modifications would be needed.

It may be a 4th gen with a 3.5 but it's been done.
