topspeed exhaust

Does anyone have experience with the 3" T-304 stainless topspeed cat back exhaust system. They are selling it for 390.00 plus shipping. They are out of Dallas Texas metro area.

I am looking for a 3" cat back for my 89 convertible with a full TII swap, 3" downpipe and magnaflow 3" presilencer.

Any thoughts ideas or information.

Thanks,
David

I have only seen this exhaust on a G35. They say it is a copy of the Apexi N1 dual. Is the Apexi worth the extra 200.00 premium?

I am looking for a dual exhaust system similar to the Greddy power extreme that you cannot get anymore. I want something that has a good deep sound but not too loud. I have heard a lot about the racing beat rev TII but they want 895.00 for it. The rx7store have the Apexi dual N1 for 575.00 and topspeed has their copy of the N1 for 390.00.

I am willing to sacrifice some HP for lower dbs.

I have an S5 TII with street ported intake and exhaust, cone filter, stock S5 turbo with RB 3" downpipe, 3" magnaflow presilencer and currently a 50mm HKS catback exhaust which is too small.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
David

the ssac is loud, but i got the single turbo back system. they do offer a dual catback for about 500 +/-, i imagine its quieter.

It looks like they buy the cheap Chinese SSAC-type exhaust, put their name on the box, and then sell it for a profit.

RP is still showing the GReddy Power Extreme at the bottom of their webpage. Did they sell out already?

Thanks Evil Aviator for the info on the topspeed exhaust. I am leaning toward the Apexi dual N1 at this time.

I did notice that RP had the Greddy for sale and ordered one a few weeks back. They just got back with me yesterday to tell me they did not have anymore of the Greddy exhausts and in fact have been sold out for over a month. They are the ones suggesting the Apexi N1 but their cost is 659.95, RX7store is 575.00.

Thanks guys for all the responses. I am leaning to the dual Apexi n1 due to the responses saying the topspeed and SSAC exhaust, although good quality are very loud. Not looking for loud. Any thoughts on the Apexi?

Thanks again,
David

if you want quiet, but no sacrafice in performance then go with RB. (got one for sale too) I've used the SSAC, GReddy extreme, and Apexi. After I tried the RB I've never looked back.

If you have a good local shop. You can always go custom.

A setup I've had many compliments on, and is relatively quiet in my setup, is:



And another car:


Magnaflow 14716 muffler (two)
Magnaflow 35136 tip (two)

It reminds me of the Greddy PE myself.
