active autowerke signature exhaust. Exhaust tips too small?

Hi

was wondering if anyone has a pic comparison of the active autowerke exhaust against an OEM one.

I keep looking and feel the tips on the AA exhaust are too small.

Thanks

I didn't think they were too small at all but I'm also not a fan of huge tips on a quad exhaust, looks a little cartoonish. I thought the tips looked gorgeous and balanced proportionally. Here are a couple of pics when I had one.

Thats what she said...

From their webpage:

Key Features:

-Double-walled 76mm Signature stainless tips
Thats only 2.992 inches...Stock tips are 2.9 but the inner diameter makes the AA look a bit bigger ...but yea they are too small IMOP also. If you buy something you want something different...Akra, Gintani, Dinan, all have tips around 3.5 inches

-Weighs 44 Lbs vs. the factory of 78 Lbs.
??? Calling them out on this one....the stock axel back is approximately 55lbs
So theirs is only 11lbs lighter ...that sucks honestly most exhaust will drop you more..
Again, Gintani are 34 lbs, Akrapovic 25 to 26lbs, Dinan 35lbs..
