Just chalk it up as a misread and go on. High flow catalytic convertors for $100? You get what you pay for. If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
what are you the integrity police?


whats your AFSC?

I'd say advocating stealing from someone's warehouse because they felt they were jipped, when in actuality they just didn't read into the description or ask before they bought, would be a breach of integrity, yes, as well as illegal in the state of Texas
It's not TopSpeed's fault really. That would be a CHEAP price for high flow cats. He should probably just talk to them, explain that he misunderstood what they were, and TopSpeed will probably take them back and refund him.

I don't see how my AFSC plays into this, but if you wish it's 92T0 for about another year.

It was obivously a joke and figuring you're in UPT, I can understand your passing judgement.

Take your bias somewhere else. Aren't we on the same team? That's fairly appalling.

So you kids are going to write off TopSpeed for an error? So let them know. Hell, they'll probably bend over backwards to accommodate you. You don't immediately get online and start smearing their name because you felt jipped. Give them a chance to fix it. Have you even contacted them about this???

You can't really back out of this one saying "it was a joke". Seriously, lose the bias.

Trying to help the OP here. Contact TopSpeed, let them know your concerns, and see what they can do. I'm sure they're not going to hang you out to dry if you just talk to them. They're a pretty small shop, so my guess is that they'll take the parts back and refund you (and maybe change their website to reflect their product).

Wow, i just realized this was all about my post. Its called a joke usafdarkhorse, something you laugh at. Are you trying to defend the company, do you really think he'll go to the warehouse and steal?? We all know its a mistake, we don't need you to tell us. I'm sure hes already taken care of the issue, your entry to this thread was pretty useless and pathetic.

I was in this thread early because I actually had some experience with TopSpeed in Dallas (check it out....page 1). I don't want your suggestion to be taken the wrong way and impact this company. If someone got malicious and decided to do something like that, your post would look highly suspect, joke or not (which is what I took it as....but such a thing can actually happen so it's not really a joking matter).

Fair enough. No harm, no foul.

Hope the OP does find the HFCs he's looking for, even if TopSpeed doesn't make them.

I was really hoping it was true because the HFCs for the NSX would mate more easily with the headers.
