I realize that you want to get slightly larger tips, but I was just wondering if you tried to clean your exhaust tips? I ask because (and this is embarrassing to admit) I finally cleaned my exhaust tips for the first time in 2.5 years with Mother’s polish and they look as good as new. If yours are only dirty (not damaged) it may be worth it to make them look good until you find the perfect replacement.

then i realized that they are longer cause they just bolted them further out than the 04/03 models...they're identical tips...i think.

Since the muffler outlet is 2.5 inches, the Borla 20154 will not work. The 20155 looks good, but will probably not match up when mounted side by side.
I don't think it will be possible to go much larger than the stock tips which I believe are around 3 inches (with a slight oval) due to the distance between the centerlines of the outlet muffler pipes.
My best bet may be to clean up my existing tips and mount them out an extra inch or so. I did confirm with the dealer that the 2005 tips are the same as the 2004.
Let me know if you come up with any other ideas. I still think slightly larger tips would make the g35 sedan look a little more aggressive. Note how good the coupe looks from behind. If I am not mistaken, those are just MUCH bigger tips. I don't think the actual exhaust size is that much bigger if at all.

I'm still looking for options to replace my stock tips which still look pretty bad, even after a thorough cleaning.
What do you think about the Infiniti M tips? They look like they may actually fit the G35 sedan and appear to be slightly longer. As mentioned, I am only looking for a subtle improvement from stock.
Here are some pics...
