Some others on here have worse tips than I but thats not to say mine arent jagged. I took some pics before install just case anyone on the forums wanted to see them.
I purchased mine last week believe shipping took 3-4 days and I'm in NJ. Install would've taken way under a half hour if I had used my brain, zero fitment issues. I'll likely be under the car this weekend and I'll see if I need to hand tighten anything

Glad to see the rolled / bevel edge tips are once again available.
Infiniti G35 G37 Sedan 07-12 Performance Exhaust System Systems Bevel Edge Tips
These videos suggest that the sound is similar to the Greddy. Has anyone heard both in person? Is there any drone in the cockpit?
Are others experiencing the corrosion problem mentioned on the G35Driver forum? Example:

This is just what I can see from kneeling down behind the car, haven't checked any of the piping under the car. I wash my car often and clean the tips and muffler canisters every time I do. The car hasn't been washed in about 3 weeks now because it has snowed on and off for that amount of time not counting the below freezing temp . Plus I've traveled for the holidays back and forth to an area that stays pretty nasty because of coal trucks etc. and within this time is when I've started noticing the rust and I'm assuming it's because of the salt.
TopSpeed said they were rusting already because of the conditions I've submitted the exhaust system to (first time its snowed like this here in Kentucky this season, and longest time it's been since the exhaust has been cleaned) and that there was nothing wrong with them doing that. He said they are metal and eventually metal does rust stainless steel or not. He advised me to use a stainless steel polish to clean the surface rust off and then coat it with a stainless steel polish and that should take care of the rust. He said I needed to do this on a regular basis.....
Honestly, at this point the only thing I'm impressed with on this exhaust system is the sound. The Fitment is bad, the tips are HORRIBLE, and now rust already? To me this is unacceptable no matter how good you take care of the exhaust only after 3 months. Hell, I had cheap ebay exhaust on my 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT for over 4 YEARS with out cleaning it or polishing it ever and when I sold the car there wasn't one spot of rust on that system and the fitment was 100% on just like OEM.That exhaust system and car was put through hell and back and it looked 10 times better after 4 years then this exhaust does in 3 months. If the "conditions I've submitted the exhaust too" is less then a month of road salt in Kentuckys atmosphere then I would hate to see what it looks like by this time next year.
I'm glad some of you has had good luck out of this exhaust but if my mind doesn't change I will be removing this exhaust and going back stock soon. I'll just wait until I an find a good deal on the exhaust system I really wanted in the first place. I loved the price and sound of this exhaust but that has obviously backfired for me in general. Hopefully everyone else's will continue to hold up.

That is great to see the quality tips are back, I guess it's hit or miss what they stock month to month.
Here's a few of my sound clips for reference, this one is my old 07 stock G35 & my 09 w/ the TopSpeed exhaust

Thanks for your reply. Lessons I learned through aftermarket experience with my Stealth have fostered a healthy dose of skepticism when evaluating options for my "new" G. When it comes to exhaust systems, drone and corrosion feature prominently on my list of concerns.
That cabin drone is not pronounced in your videos is encouraging. Local opportunities to audition various setups would be ideal. New Mexico is nowhere near the rust belt, so it's not surprising that your example remains pristine. Perhaps also painting the pipes (save the tips) would help mitigate corrosion for those of us in wetter, saltier environments...

Last week I decided to pull the trigger and purchased the exhaust with Bevel Tips from TopSpeed's ebay store. I got the exhaust installed today at JT Motoring in Boston.
So far I have driven it for a few miles and I love the sound. No drone and nice and quite while the car is idling. The growl is just perfect after 4k to 7k rpm. Let's see how it performs as I break it in Thanks to blnewt for his advice prior to my purchase.
