The most common reference to rice would be something that serves no function and is just there for looks (i.e. fake duals, giant spoiler, non functional scoops)etc

 

A dual design can be done quite easily with no need to cut out the spare tire well or remove emissions equipment. Simply buy a cross flow muffler like that is used on the coupe, Z, or F-Body (Camaro/Firebird). A cross flow muffler is one that has an inlet and outlet one side of the muffler can and then an outlet on the other side of the can. Mount the muffler on the driver's side in the OEM location. Then route an exhaust pipe from second outlet around the spare well and then have the outlet terminate in the same area on passenger side. Use the Aero rear bumper valence to cover up the fact that you don't have a muffler on that side.

IMO, it's silly to try and incorporate a dual pipe look because those OEM systems serve absolutely no performance advantage and only a weight penalty. Also, cross flow mufflers don't flow as well as the OEM variable design used on the sedans. If it makes you feel any better, the BMW 545 (mid 13 second car) only has two tips exiting on the drivers side as do a lot of powerful German cars. Same goes for the infamous GT-R which used the same muffler design as the G sedan.

Thats how my current gen maxima is in the back

 

I like the mean look that the ___O________O___ cars have as long as there are two nice mufflers with large tips. Plus I have not been able to find any 3" inlet __OO______OO__ mufflers. Seems to be only the single outlet ones go that large.

 

soo anyone have done
either real or fake

Pictures i mean...

 

The miracle of photo-chop.
Thank Billy C for the rear view of his G.

 

That looks Hot...!!! =]!!!

GOD Dyammmmmm

 

not only that, its either ugly, cheap, dumb, overdone w/ no real purpose except to have it on there because it "looks" fast, dont forget large stickers on the side of the car, even if u have just the brand name license plate(but dont actually have the part)

 

That's how it should have come. Looks 100X better.

 

Here they are side by side.
The dual adds symmetry and balance.

 

Yep, much better...

Anyone know who might make a single 3" inlet dual tip muffler?

 

damn that photochop looks good !

 

excellent photochop ..

if you didnt say it was chopped...

i would have never been able to tell ... ..

but dayuumm it does look sick ...

 

I admit, it looks nice. But IMHO, another muffler would just seem to add weight. So the logic in me says "no". However, if we could have dual outlets using one muffler ala 350Z, that would be just fine.
