Thinking about doing 4'' Magnaflow exhaust tips

I'm thinking about just doing some 4'' tips to replace the stock G37 ones because I think they look kinda small & not very good.

Here is what I was thinking of going with:



Magnaflow 4'' Dual Walled $70 for a pair.

I'm guessing labor will be around $60-80?

I think these will look alot better than the stock G37 ones.



The only thing I'm worried about is it might look "cheap" but from what I can see the tips look pretty nice & classy.

What do you guys think?

I was trying to find a more oval design too, but couldn't find any. I was also thinking if an angle cut would look better as well?

The reason I don't want to do an exhaust is because I love the stock g37 sound.

Don't do angle. IMO, straight looks 100x better.
I been looking for an oval design before and have yet to find one. (Either on tips or an actual exhaust)

These are the tips / exhaust look I wanted to go for:

Tips are for ricers... get yourself an exhaust or nothing at all.

How are tips only for ricers? I like the stock exhaust tone so why would I purposely change that?

Will it have problem of the heated tip being closer to the bumper?

Why spend money on just tips when you can get the entire Magnaflow system for around $500 shipped to your door? I couldn't be happier with mine, not only the sound and performance but the compliments I get for the sound and the look of the tips as well. Best $500 I've ever spent on any car for sure!!

magnaflow catback is without a doubt the best value for money mod performance, sounds and looks wise. I just gave mine off to a friend and my ride doesnt feel as enjoyable as it used to be!! its killing me!!

Have you verified if the stock tips are bolt-on or welded??? If you get rid of your stock ones send me a message, I might have use for them.
