need help with what to do with next mod! please chime in guys

so here is a pic of the rear of my car (This is an old pic, and the car is currenty getting the rear valence painted black, has the G35S removed, and getting the new oem 2009 lip spoiler put on)...so now i am thinking the exhaust tip/muffler to be replaced to look better...i don't want full exhaust because i dont care for the extra power and sound much...but i want a new exhaust tip and and muffler in chrome or stainless so it looks nicer...what brand and stuff should i go with? i dont know what size tips i should get either...I DO NOT WANT TO GO TOO RICEY either...so not too big but not too small...just a good size to fill the area up. also going the new muffler route what do you think it will cost me? and I assume it will change the sound up too right? thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions! DOMO

Get the Tanabe axleback, I think it's exactly what you're looking for. Plus it sounds good too so that's an added benefit.

Tanabe is considered an axle back

For the money, I think the Invidia Gemini is a lot better deal than the Tanabe. It is a well made full catback exhaust. Sound wise, it is not too loud, and there is no drone on the highway. I was really impressed. I have had exhausts on my last 3-4 cars, and my complaint with all of them was that all of them had some drone on the highway; the Invidia really does not. The Invidia is also available with polished stainless steel or titanium tips.

The Invidia is around 900, and if you don't want a full exhaust then you don't need to spend that much.

The reason why I mentioned the Tanabe is cause, for you needs, it's a quality product from a good company. Plus you definitely won't mind the more throaty and aggressive sound it'll give you. The price up on the Tanabe site is MSRP, you can get the setup for less than $600 from one of the sponsors on this site or on myG37.com.

This site (Andy) has had some mixed reviews and I've seen a lot of complaints about them on this site but here's a reference for pricing. (I don't know if you should purchase from them so that you don't get caught up with any problems they may have since I haven't had any personal experiences with them).

If you want something in the $300 range, you could just get a pair of polished mufflers along with a pair of tips that you like from Magnaflow and have them welded on the stock pipes.

I think the Tanabe is around $400 or so. Contact Riverside Infiniti, I think they have the best price on this, atleast when I was shoppoing for an exhaust.

Don't get a cheap muffler with tips! It's going to sound like crap and not look as good. You have a $40K car...

ALso search the classified here and on MyG37 ppl. sell exhaust all the time.

Yeah, I'd go with Tanabe... it'll fill up the empty space you're talking about.
