just wanted to get a consensus on the two different styles, I actually prefer the original, flat edge, raw look. It matches the car a lot more.

then of course in typical nissan fashion, the upgraded cosmetics usually make it look worse.

Imo, i would do the flat edge , it looks better then the rolled and it gives it that aftermarket look , remember u already have rolled edges itll only look stockish if u do the same

It is rolled OEM? I sliced that **** out of my finger the other day when I was washing the car.

flat looks cheap to me

My 2010 sport came with the flat edge exhaust. Do they sell chrome tips you can add? Or do you have to change the whole muffler?

In 2011 they changed the tips to rolled. My 2010 has the flat. I actually like the rolled better. But to each their own

I bet thats why they rolled them. Too many sliced fingers!

minsbang

I've seen both right next to each other. IMO, the flat looks a bit more sporty. To the owners with the flat tips, I don't it's worth the $$ to change it.

i like rolled .. this should be a poll

I checked, Nissan doesn't sell just the tips. If you want the factory rolled tips you'll need to pony up some $$$ for new mufflers.
Otherwise look at aftermarket tips/mufflers.

I like the flat better for the sportiness.

rolled all the way...but going to kill two birds with one stone when switchin to the Stillen exhaust...anyone knows sizes for the stillen tips vs stock..btw mine are sharp edge...never liked them like that and always changed to rolled

I like the raw flat like I have, even when it's dirty it looks tough.

The rolled tips are easier to keep clean even though I agree the flat ones look racier.

I actually just ordered the Stillen cat-back today lol. From the pics and videos I've seen, looks like the tips are pretty close to the stock size.

Always liked the rolled look better... lends a more classy look to the car (a la BMW, Benz, Audi, etc).

Anyone wanna trade? Flat for my rolled?

I never really object to factory tailpipes, but I always want what the newer models have

Anyone know where to get OEM Nissan rolled tips? I have the flat tips. I prefer the rolled tips like on my gen5. Has anyone changed out their flat for rolled tips?

Are these tips welded on? How much would it cost to swap out the tips? Im keeping the factory exhaust. Thanks.

Let me clarify. Does anyone know where to get OEM-like exhaust tips? I prefer the factory look of the rolled tips. Even though Nissan doesn't sell tips separately, there has to be some OEM manufacturer (like Gentex for our auto-dim mirrors) who sells them spearately.

I would prefer them to be welded on. Does anyone know the cost of welding exhaust tips off-hand? Thanks again.

lightonthehill

Surely someone here will help us with where to get aftermarket rolled tips. As long as the diameter is the same, the tips would not need to be Maxima-specific.

As for the welding, I would think that would not be expensive. I don't know if special solder is needed for exhaust systems. I bet many muffler shops are equipped to do this, and would have exactly the solder needed.

Thanks light, I found a thread awhile back. Someone got oem-looking tips but they weren't quite the same. The end wasn't flared out as wide as the oem ones.

Muffler shops doh! Thanks. Its been over 19 years since the car bug hit me. I am a total noob again. Last car I lowered and modded was my 240sx. I kept my gen 3 and gen 5 completely stock!

However I did mod an Xterra in 2000 and a Tundra in 05 but those are trucks not cars hehe.

"I like 'em ROUND... and BIG!!!" Oh, and rolled of course

SNEEKYFAST

From the side...

Go BIG or go home

Jbling700

Where did you get that from? I still have my stock exhaust but I want it too look more flushed with my bumper. Looking good BTW. Your Max lost its virginity.

SNEEKYFAST

Here's the link I got it from. This is a 5" flat tip (rolled of course), but he has so many different tips it ain't funny! Look at his other items. He has them in smaller sizes, but our factory tips are 4.75" wide anyway, and I wanted to fill up the cut-out in the bumper. Kinda like fillin' the wheel gap

Thanks. I'm with you on filling in the gap.

I dont know if I had to pick I'd say flat (gives it a sporty aftermarket look in my opinion)
