Yeah, its got major snob appeal too , it knows its better than the others...I guess the M5 is the only one thats got it beat...but I'd take the E55 any day. Howabout a Brabus tuned one? I really hope I can climb the corporate ladder high enough to get to these things.

E55 eh? Looks pretty darn nice~~

Do they even have anything like that for Maximas though? I know many people don't really praise the Greddys, but I kinda like those big roundish tips. Looks mean~~

I love the stock pipes, except for the oval inside the oval. So i'm going to have to go with the twin ovals on each side.

stock

I think that square tips would definitely not go with the lines of the body. The ovals are OK, but the roundness of the stock tips goes well with the curves of the rear of the Maxima. The ovals present more of a horizontal-flatter presentation that, to my taste, doesn't go as well with the body as the stock rounds.

I think when the aftermkt really catches on...side skirts with the exhaust right infront of the rear tires would be amazing. and a true widebody kit, maybe it it ever happens ill be able to afford it at that time...and for the rear, a diffuser. not rice, europeanish. If they could emulate the
Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM AMG it would be perfect. If I had unlimited funds Id commission a designer to make this kit. Tell me DTM is not the coolest racing there is. http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....&page_number=2

If you notice, the stock tips are actually OVAL, but I really like the look of slightly larger ovals, like the E55. It stays with the stock theme, but appears more aggressive but not ricey.

Get new mufflers for that price. If u look closely, the stock tips are like 1" in diameter.

Tek: I do like ovals better. They retain the stock shape but are aggressive and flow with the lines. Also, I noticed on my friends E55 Benz that the oval tips are staggered which further go with the curve of the bumper. I think twin ovals is absolutely the way to go. Can anyone photoshop the E55 oval tips on to the Maxima, especially a black Max?

Agreed. Thats exactly what i want. The setup that berk is working on, does it have that ovals or the rounded set?

I think u mean Stromung? They havent decided which tips to go with. Im really in favor of twin ovals. Similar to stock, but better.
