Want to make my exhaust LOOK bigger

Want to make my exhaust LOOK bigger
I recent bought my car and the one thing that has been bothering me is the size of the exhaust. I haven't measured or yet but I would say it's 2-2.5"? I don't want to buy a full system or anything because I am not in it for performance or sound. Is there a way to attach something at the end to make it bigger?

As much as I laugh at this question, I'll help you out so you can save some money. Go to your local grocery store, get yourself a folger's can, drill a large hole in the bottom, wrap it in duct tape, and you're set. Just a thought.

I just got an aftermarket tip only because my factory one fell off, the tip I got looks like the factory one did, it's not any bigger and its not mirror finished. I think you should just keep the stock look.
Here are some things you should definatly stay away from:

Here's the worst one I found, a LED tip with a flame on it.
This is the best looking one but you see it has a "chrome" mirror finish and it's 4 Inches big!
Don't Change a thing.

It's wrong becasue it has no purpose.
It's wrong because it's a part that doesn't even need to be replaced.
It's wrong because it's not actually chrome.
It's wrong because it will most likely rust anyways.
It's wrong because a bigger exhaust is bigger because it's better. Not for no reason

Don't be "that guy", you drive a maxima. Its a sleeper. Unless you're going to do it right (axle back or cat back exhaust), a small tip is fine.
Its not my car, so you have to make the decision. Just be prepared to disgrace maxima owners if a pic of your car ends up on www.riceboypage.com
Check out this site for clarification as to what I am talking about. I can also send a link to Uncle Ben's if you need it.

You can just go to PepBoys or AutoZone and get a tip for like $10. Just don't get one of those 4 inch tips..
This is the tip I got for my car when I first bought it bc the stock tip had black overspray on it..
Now I have a dual tip muffler there instead

Geez, what's the big deal about putting a modest tip on a maxima's muffler? GXE's don't come with chrome tips stock.
I added a 2 inch one before I got a catback, and it looked good. Now look at me, I got a 4" tip!
I will admit, I hate the tip that I have now.

take some sheet metal and make your own.
if your just into looks and no performace i suggest you buy lots of stickers, altezzas, a 6 inch muff tip, underglow lights, and hyper bright white turning signals front and back. ricer

That's your car with altezzas and what looks like a 4.5-5 inch tip. I don't care if it's a catback or not, its a coffee can imitating large diameter exhaust piping. 2.5 inch piping and a 5 inch tip is
These are some of your mods that you just criticized for being rice.
PIAA EXtreme White Headlight Bulbs
Hyperwhite Healight Corners
Generation 2 Altezza TailLights
Hyper Bright White TailLight Bulbs
To Do List:
PIAA dome light
PIAA door sidemarker/clearence lights
So basically you're a ricer yourself

Shave your pubic hairs. Attach weights to it. Use a pump. If I knew how to help you I'd be a rich man!

wow..lot of flamming here. try to find a stock maxima se or gle exhaust tip from someone in the f/s forum.. im sure somebdy who bought a muffler or cat back system will give theirs up..or even go for a stock 2k maxima muffler..
i was thinking about getting a stock 350z tip.. its 3.5 inches..and welding that onto my muffler.. after hack sawing off most of the real tip so u cant see the gap and the outlines of the real piping inside the 350z tip.. i dont want a real exhaust either.. less than hp gain if you dont get a full catback..no point.. plus i like my car quiet..

Don't see the big deal. It's just a exhaust tip. It's not like he's putting some huge rice wing on. MDWST51, just ignore all the ********s. As long as you don't go too big, it'll still look classy. Many .orgers got more rice on their cars than just a modest tip. People just give you **** for being new. Flaming someone just for adding something that doesn't up performance is BS. How many orgers have clear bumpers, or a stillen body kit? Yeah, I'm sure replacing the stock orange lights add 20fwhp.

It's amazing that you seem to do every "RIGHT" mod on your car. It's also funny that you always hate on cars that are the same as yours.
Have a nice day.

I don't know why you always have to try and counter me, a grille and a muffler tip are very different things, he wants a bigger exhaust, im telling him to not make a fool of himself by getting bad tips. I'm sorry if i offended you and your tip but I have an aftermarket tip! and i have the trenz grille, WOW!!! I bought my grill because I wanted a new, different look. "for show"

Once again a grille and a muffler tip are very different things.....
A trenz grille hasn't been called rice, a 6 inch tip has! I'm trying to help him out.

Super Maxima Man Ludacris knows all... I better check with him next time I decide to do ANYTHING to my car, I need him to approve from now on.
.... And yes you do hate on people all of the time, more than half of your posts are all negitave towards someone.

Tyrexx:
I have no problem with your car, I wouldn't have put the grille on the car but thats just me.
Me:
Trendz Grille = no-function, aesthetics
Shiny chrome exhaust tip = no-function, aesthetics
You:
Trendz Grille = no-function, aesthetics
Shiny chrome exhaust tip = RICE! RICE! RICE! NO FUNCTION! ITS USELESS!
That's basically what I'm trying to tell you man..

Torgus:
My life is going perfect right now, haven't been having more fun in my life. Thanks for the great comments tho! Back to your flame.
Your first post:
"I hate rice, altezzas, blue lights, stickers, blah blah"
My response:
"You have altezzas, blue lights, blah blah"
Your response:
"You're a f@g! Ludacris is ! He thinks he knows everything about cars and always hates on people!!!! GRRR!!"
I wasn't hating on you or your car in particular, I was stating the obvious. You just took everything too personal. I think every coffee can exhaust is ricey looking, not just yours but I don't go around hating on everyone with a coffee can do I? The only other guy that I had an issue with was the guy calling me a sheep for lowering my car, if you guys were not on my side with that then you wouldn't be modding your cars. This is my last response...PM me if you have issues.

Let him do what he wants? He will. However, he posted the thread. Isn't the point of these forums feedback? Whenever I post something I MUST accept positive or negative feedback. These "harsh" responses are from individuals passonate about their cars, as well as other maximas. If someone cannot handle the responses they shouldn't post in the first place. My two cents.
By the way, threnz grilles make the maxima look more like a cadillac (too much bling). Who wants their max to look more like a cadillac?

SE maximas have a thin metal sleeve over the tip to make it look bigger. That looks kinda gay but it doesn't change the sound of the exhaust. If he want to do this then it's ok I guess. If he wants to cut off the stock tip and weld on a bigger one then the exhaust note WILL change. It will ound like crap.
