Exactly. That's how I initially set them in a new car and then fine tune it when passing or being passed

This works perfectly. I lean to window and center console and let a tiny sliver of back of car be visible on either side when leaned over. No blind spots.

My TopSpeed exhaust with beveled tips has been delayed for the 3rd time. Talk about butthurt.... Debating whether I should just get the straight tip version and throw some different tips on it? The Stillen cat-back has also been considered.

Try being me. I ordered before you and was promised the only beveled tip that was arriving in the states this month. It arrived yesterday... with straight tips. The item number on the box was right. They screwed it up overseas.

Luckily Virtue Motorsports and TopSpeed are taking care of the problem and I will be running the straight tip version until the beveled ones come in.

I also ordered mine from VirtueMotorsports on December 4th, 2015. Originally expected to receive it around Christmas, then it was delayed to mid January and then delayed once more until the end of this month. I called TopSpeed and they told me the next shipment wasn't arriving until the end of February. I'm starting to lose hope and I'm thinking about looking elsewhere. The straight tip version is soooo ugly.

Zahy, Might want to look into the J2 set
Amazon.com: J2 Engineering Dual 3.5" Muffler Tip Exhaust Catback System For Infiniti G37 4DR V36: Automotive Amazon.com: J2 Engineering Dual 3.5" Muffler Tip Exhaust Catback System For Infiniti G37 4DR V36: Automotive

Here's one review, seems ok once you get some miles on it

alfredo24pr had the welds on one of the flanges break and snap off. That's the only problem I've ever read about FI cats.

There have been at least 2 FI RHFCs in the classifieds in the last few months that had the cat go bad. They were basically being sold as test pipes since you can drill out the cat.

Go custom. Magnaflow x pipe to 2 magnaflow mufflers. There is a shop in the Baltimore that created a custom mandrel piping magnaflow catback , I forgot the name. There is a thread in the last month or so talking about it.

Yeah I remember his flanges breaking but mine are intact. I mean just tired of the puttering sound. Might have to check out some other High Flow Cats

Has anybody else experienced lack of communication from Ryan at RJM? I mean he emailed me on January 7th after I ordered, saying they are on back order and that he would have the parts from his supplier by this past Monday the 18th and that it'd ship around the 20th which was Wednesday as well as that my unit is #2 out of 25 for fabrication, paint & assembly once the parts come in, while all of this sounds good and I have no problem with it,

I however have emailed him twice in the time period of 2 weeks since ordering and haven't gotten any response, nothing.

Nope. He and I were emailing just a couple of days ago, and then he revived his old forum account and joined in on that RJM thread.

It must be you, Mike. Hahahahaha

Hey, here's an idea, try PM'ing his SN.
