Does anyone know if this tip is sold in the US? (should I just order from here and pay more shipping? Probably will)

I have a love hate relationship with my cpe m.p. + HKS. I really love the sound when driven hard, but when putting around, it's getting old. Ever since I got the Z06 5 months ago, I've wanted to make the G quieter.
Thinking of putting the stock muffler back on with these ractive tips that are simply bolt on, while leaving the cpe midpipe on. You won't see the bolts unless you get under the car; but with the fatboys you will see the cut inner metal guts. (kept my stock muffler, middie, wheels in storage etc--yeah)
Or, I might just put the stock midpipe back on and leave the HKS on. It will be quieter, but I'd like to sell the HKS if possible so someone else here can enjoy the sound on their G.

finished the mod today. Everything went well and they grab on strongly to the stock pipes. I did it off the car, so next I have to swap out mufflers. It would be nice to put some JBweld, but I don't think it needs it.

Must be Old Fart Syndrome kicking in, but I'm even thinking of ditching my Z middy. Sounds great with my 03 muff but it is a bit drony at low revs. Been talking with Kevco about a swap with his 05 sedan middy, maybe add an HR-Y and call it good. (I know DaveB would approve, LOL) We'll see what spring brings!

Hi I'm new here. I read somewhere in this post earlier that the 03-04 sedans have different tips from 05-06 sedans. Is that true or am I just making that up?
I took a look at the tips and they're a little less than half an inch apart, so I'm not sure if this mod would fit. Has anyone tried them on an 06 mt sedan?
Did anyone also try using the 3.5L tips instead of the 2.5L tips and find that they work better? The pictures of the 3.5L and 2.5L tips look different on the infinitipartsusa.com website.

^ Im with him, I dont know about the 03-04 but my 05 has a bracket under the pipe that the tips slide into. It looked like maybe the 03-04s have this as well, if thats the case, do the Altima tips just slide right over this bracket? Seems like the fitment would be pretty squirrely.
"4) Remove the OEM tips. There is no need to remove welded mounting bracket on the muffler pipes. The Altima tips are large enough to slide over this bracket."

Thank you sir.
I just got off the phone with Trophy Nissan here in DFW $40.00 each for the Altima tips, he says people paying less are getting an internet discount. The guy also said that he has had a few people come get these tips for the G sedans, and mentioned the Maxima tips as an option. I am going out there shortly to take a look. Anyone considered Maxima tips? He didnt mention what year im assuming 07-08 and newer.
