Thinking of doing 4'' tips on the G37

I'm thinking about just doing some 4'' tips to replace the stock G37 ones because I think they look kinda small & not very good.

Here is what I was thinking of going with:



Magnaflow 4'' Dual Walled $70 for a pair.

I'm guessing labor will be around $60-80?

I think these will look alot better than the stock G37 ones.



The only thing I'm worried about is it might look "cheap" but from what I can see the tips look pretty nice & classy.

What do you guys think?

I'm thinking about doing high flow cat too

Reason I don't want to go full exhaust is because I really like the stock sound.

Stock ones are big enough. Want bigger tips? Get an aftermarket exhaust.

why ya all hating on the tips


guy just wants a nicer tips.

G's tips are not the best looking tips out there.
I like Magnaflow dual wall fat a$$ tips as well.

It's all customization. Someone get's blower installed, somebody else get's intake installed. Someone get's exhaust installed, somebody else get's tips changed.

Whats the big deal. It's not like he's looking for performance and wants to change the tip to get it. He just wants the look and with those tips it's gonna look great.

DO IT.
Fvck all them haters.

No one is hating just merely suggesting. It his choice. Most people would just chose to go with a full exhaust

THANK YOU.

The stock exhaust tips are not good looking and don't fit the rear of the car too well which is why I wanted to change it out. I'm not looking to make the car go faster nor trying to pose like I have an aftermarket exhaust. Pure aesthetics like adding a lip or something.

I think the stock exhaust tips are actually a little smaller than 3'', but I'm not positive so don't quote me on that. I think I'm gonna end up doing this mod, just need to find a shop now. Thinking about going to Dan Fast in Bellevue, anyone have work done by them?

I like the tips the way they are, but that's just my opinion

you asked for an opinion and you got them, don't take it to the heart. that's just peoples opinion. BTW joker, no one is hating, they're just giving their opinions like he asked. But if you must call out people and call them haters, please, stop being a dick rider.

Nah I don't take opinions to heart, just didn't want to come off as getting tips to make it look like I have an aftermarket exhaust when that is not the case.

I dont see why people are hating. All he is doing is changing out tips. He likes the stock sound. That is like slamming on someone for changing out the grill on the front. They are not huge ricer tips and probably smaller than most after market ones.
