It's so sad looking at it, I don't think anyone would buy it

Thank you, any more pics of your exhaust or video? Custom fitting tips wouldn't be to difficult, sound is what's most important...

I only have two pictures, I can take more tomorrow. As for videos, blnewt has a few here on the TopSpeed Exhaust thread
Fitting is perfect, these are made for our sedans. The only pain in the butt is removing the bolts on the mid-pipe if they are rusted. Sound was my number one priority as well, and this upgrade gave me the output I was looking for.

Nice G!

If you could take additional pictures that would be great

Hmm. That Topspeed exhaust looks exactly like OEM... just polished and clean, with respectable tips and a flat can.

Just from these pics, it might be a 1/4" larger in diameter, but otherwise, identical.

LilRockets' tips do appear to be a bit smaller in OD, Rocket, could you measure your tip diameter if you've got a minute, you've peaked my curiosity

I like the smaller looking tips on lil'rockets. It's so hard to find an exhaust system for the G that doesn't have massive tips that look ridiculous IMO.

Carlos,
The Topspeed exhaust is looking sweet!

Judging from the pic, the exhaust tips looks they should be more flushed with the rear bumper.
Is it sitting any lower than stock...any issues with clearance?

lol, you know I've said many times your G is one of my favorites. The larger tips work with your car since it's heavily modded. Mine on the other hand is mostly stock and the large tips would look out of place.

I had a Corsa catback on my 5.7L tundra and it had dual 4" tips, they looked about right on the truck. I'm just not a fan of the coffee can look on cars, much prefer the smaller quad tips the OP had on the audi. I wish Corsa made a system for the G, they've got a real nice sound and they've got almost no resonance/drone.

If the tips are smaller and still centered on the cans (which it looks like they are) they will be sitting lower from the bumper cutouts equal to the difference in diameter compared to mine. It appears they're about a 1/2" lower so the overall OD looks like it may be an inch smaller.At any rate, looking nice C!

Gotcha my friend, they would look a bit more out of place w/ a sedan closer to stock for sure. BTW, bad as$ Tundra, love those trucks, my 93 Toyota T100 has about 130k miles and doesn't lose a drop of oil and still gets about 24 hwy, love them trucks!

Blnewt your fitment looks better from the pictures that I can see, the new topspeed exhast looks like it does not fit flush with body, but once again more pictures are needed.

For the price its a great deal as long as it fts properly...

There's a wrap-clamp that connects the flanges between the mid-pipes & the mufflers, so they can be separated & modified. OEM exhaust looks like it's made w/ 1" electrical conduit .

Like I mentioned previously, the current exhaust appears to have smaller diameter tips so they would be further away from the bumper if the fitment were otherwise identical. That seems to be the case IMO.
