Quick Exhaust Opinion

I need you guys' opinions.

I can either get a greddy single that has a small dent and some scratches with a muffler shop's midpipe that they make to fit my car welded by them for aboiut 300

or the topspeed exhaust which will run 450-500 brand new.

What do you guys think?

Might meet up with the guy tomorrow at 8 for the single if I want it or head to addison to pick up the topspeed if I decide that route

I'd rather get the topspeed exhaust. It's new so there shouldn't be any problems and, from the videos, I like the sound a lot.

I like the sound too. The problem free aspect does pull me more.

I just can't help but feel like I'm passing up a great deal lol

What did you end up doing? I say go dual for sure, positive you'll get a better kick out of the topspeed, just more noise with the greddy

I guess we're on the same boat I'm trying to decide if I should get a Single carbon-ti exhaust with custom piping or buy a cheap true dual exhaust.

I wouldn't go single unless you have some plans to likely angle it, and fill in the empty hole afterward.

The single would save us a bit of weight but that's the only real pro out of it. I'm starting to lean towards the topspeed more but don't wanna pull the trigger yet

My plans are to have it at an angle and I might work on a fiberglass diffuser that I have laying around to only have a single outlet so it wont look so awkward.

topspeed is nice, I seriously considered it when I was shopping for an exhaust, but the amount of drone turned me off.

I'm kinda hoping the resonator on the xyz will cut some of that drone out. We'll see how it turns out

Went with the topspeed and I LOVE it. It is so smooth, deep, and NO rasp. There is a little bit of heat shield rattling from the hfc sometimes in between 100-800 rpm and drone on the highway but not unbearable.

The resonator on the xyz really equaled out the note of the topspeed and I think it is a great combo.

Butt dyno instantly felt gains with better throttle response as well.

Now all I need is a TUNE to put it all together!
