I just got T/S CBE, T/S Ypipe, and the cheap test pipes. I ran just the cbe for a couple weeks. It had a nice deep tone but wasn't too much louder than stock. The mid pipe was just hanging too low and was vibrating against the cross brace so I cut a chuck out of a rubber mud flap. We will see how long it last.

The test pipes definitely changed the sound. Much louder.

I had the same issue with the midpipe hanging too low. Had to get a few metal clamps and pull it up more using the exhaust hangers. Definitely a little to be desired in regard to fitment.

The muffler tips were also too high and rubbed against the bumper. Had to put in about half an inch of washers along with longer bolts on the rear two muffler hanger mounts to drop it enough to clear.

The sound is a little loud for my taste when coupled with the Motordyne ART pipes. Considering going back to stock until I find a replacement.

It's quiet enough at cruising speed, but anything past half-throttle is loud and borderline obnoxious.

I love Top Speed CBE. I really don't care about the NAME of the exhaust company. You can custom weld cheap parts and still can gain a lot. I believe that what you pay for the CBE is like the quality of welding, materials used and the brand name. For example, I know that Meisterschaft CBE always come out with crazy top quality and it sounds amazing. But it doesn't make much of gain I heard. My friend had Amuse R1000 and always complained about it. He runs the track a lot and told me "I had R1000. It was garbage. It easily exceeds race track dB limit by 20dB. Couldn't even use them." and they nearly cost like $3000 or more. so my point is don't get caught up with the NAME of the brand. TOP Speed is really cheap and has GREAT sounding. I will get Top Speed CBE one day if I get money. Thanks for the great review Dai.

I'm still considering this setup... although now I am concerned with the mid section being too low to the ground.

My car is slammed and I did notice that my factory mid pipe had a huge bend in it from driving.

I foresee disaster... sigh...

my car is low with half a finger gap all around. The part that i scratch the most is the Y-pipe, right where the flex pipes are. Luckily its still not leaking after 4-5 months of abuse.
I tried taking a quick iphone pic:

I think mine is a bit lower.



My Y pipe is fine... I rub on the resonator towards the rear of the car.

Installed about a month ago. TopSpeed Pro 1 with the Y Pipe. Sounds great for the money! No problems with the install. Cleared the center brace no probs.

I Should of backed it out of the garage. Not much light but you get an idea of the sound.

the right side tip is pretty close to the bumper, any concern with melting issues later on down the line?
