New Exhaust Tips for the G37 Sedan
#61
The OEM exhaust on the G37 has 2.25" exhaust tips that are wrapped in a clamp & weld, oval tip which is 4.5" wide by 3.0" high. The crimps are plainly visible, as is the folded edge at the bottom. They're only 4" long, so you can readily see them as an add-on. They angle downward at a 5-10* pitch, and on my car, were hardly centered to the bumper.
Anyway, I'm none too fond of them, and for a while now have been trying to figure out a simple solution that would make me happier with the tips, without breaking the bank on a whole new exhaust...
...which I do want! But eventually, just not right now. So here's my answer:

...which I do want! But eventually, just not right now. So here's my answer:
- A pair of Magnaflow Stainless Steel, 3.5", single-wall tips with a 45* slash-cut. ($52 shipped, from MagnaflowDepot.com)
- A couple hours at a trusted and skilled mechanic, $100 + tax (because he likes me. Go figure.)

The new tips are welded directly to the face of the OEM mufflers, with a slash cut there and some grinding in order to make a relatively flush fit. The welding is all the way around, and solid as a rock. They're perfectly parallel to the ground, centered in the cut-outs, and with just enough room to still get my fingers in there and clean them.
The only compromise here is that at a straight-on perspective, the tips are almost invisible, because of the single-wall design. However, as soon as you move one way or the other, that goes away. And personally, I think the profile is beautiful. Particularly with the 45 degree cut, which I think really accents the bumper well.

I'm feeling the need to un-sub from my own thread.

Hey rochester, any idea of a tip that looks similar to the Stillen tips? I really want to go with the Tanabe exhaust, but hate their tips. I think Stillen by far has the best looking tips on an exhaust, and would love ones similar to those.

But I can't help you, Arrogant. And now that I'm in my happy place with my Fast Intentions exhaust, I find myself thinking about tips less and less, and less...

Dealing with fugly tips was one of the reasons I backed away from the ARK Grip catback, in favor of Fast Intentions.
These Sebring Tuning tips are freaking beautiful.

This guy CPJ LB did the same thing, but with better tips. Looks great.

Best exhaust tips in my opinion are from this dealer - RedTail Performance.
I just ordered the RTP-011 that are same oval style at OEM but a little larger with a mirror finish.
