I know this is not helpful... but why add extra weight and cost for no gain? I know it'll look cool and what-not. At least tell me it's a v6.

No way... make a custom header for the 4 cyl, and run 1" dual all the way back. I should, just for shits and giggles.

on a more serious note, why not run single, and then get a muffler that splits it?

make sure that there is even room to mount a muffler widthwise. I believe the gas tank will be an issue. So, I'm guessing that the g35 exhaust would look like it's hitting the ground.

I wouldnt worry so much about the gas tank.
The spare tire well on the other hand.
If you get creative with a hammer.
Or a welder and a cut off tool just remove it completley. :D

you called it right... i had to get rid of my spare tire well to fit the duals. did it for the same reason as the OP.. just to match the rear bumper and complete the overall look. someone else on here didn't have to, they just managed.. but that was with a stock bumper

I wouldn't. It just an expensive and complicated cosmetic modifiction that adds weight and will decrease performance.

just curous, how much roughly would it cost to get an exhaust done from the converter to muffler?? muffler included in purchse.
another note what would be a nice sounding muffler, not too loud. looking for more of a quite racing muffler. (magnaflow?)
