Here is the option for those of you who are in NO WAY mechanically inclined and would take a finger off if someone handed you a pair of sheet metal shears.

Here is one that I'm actually considering.

It fits 2.5" tail pipe. I measured the distance between my exhaust and nismo rear lip and it's about 6.5" so 7" would make it stick out .5" which is what I'm after. My ideal setup would be 3.5" dual oval tip like MB AMG(see attachment) but couldn't find anything yet.

OK so I found a local store that had Ractive 3.5" oval tip 7" long with 2.5" inlet. The price was $39 which is the same as $38.99 I was quoted for Fatboy tip(these are canadian prices) from a local Nissan dealer. After 1/2hr of work here are the results. BTW I had to cut off OEM mounting brackets used for OEM tip mounting. Now I think I want to move the whole exhaust up so it is closer to the rear valance for tighter look. Don't mind my dirty car.

Nasty grays lower sills, high ride height, no real wheel flaring, tiny exhaust tips, narrow body with a tall canopy, chrome lift door handles, etc. Luckily a lot of that can be improved on with a little time and money.

SO i bit the bullet and picked up a set this week, they arrived today, it literally took me 20 mins to do everythng, the tips slid right on without issue, nice and snug, the hardest part was the time it took to get the old ones off. i will probably have them tacked on or even take them back off in the spring and weld in a proper 2.5ID tube inside but for now, with the cou0pe middy! AWESOME!!!

I ordered a set of these Altima tips, but now that I've got them I decided not to use them. So I'm selling these to whoever wants them. They are brand new, not chopped up or installed in any way. Only took them out of the packaging to test fit them. I paid $61.14 shipped (including tax), but I'll let them go for $50 shipped. Cheapest you'll find. PM me if interested.
EDIT: Already sold them, thanks for looking.
