Top Speed Exhaust Review

mattjk · 09-15-2010, 02:53 PM

you know, it's funny how stuck up the 370z guys seem to be about stuff like this. They frown on it because it's not a big name exhaust... where as the Lotus people, which I assume are in a higher tax bracket and can afford a more expensive exhausts, look at the actual quality of the exhaust, and not the name or price.

However if I do get the Elise, I'll be getting the TS exhaust lol

I didn't see one negative post about this exhaust. There are quite a few "small name" exhausts featured on this forum that get very favorable reviews. So I don't see where the hostility you mention is coming from. And as long as that single center pipe has enough diameter, I see no reason why it wouldn't be a decent mod with good gains.

Seconding this.

Most "big name" high priced exhausts get panned to hell here. The only ones that are universally loved are the ones that produce big power.

I agree. The 370Z crowd is very brand conscious and loyal. I bought Boombop Shop CBE which IMO is a great exhaust and people complete ignored it. I heard Daisuke149's TS set up in person and experienced it as a passenger and I give it 3

Great review Dai

Power. Quality. Sound. Those are the three most important things I look at when I'm buying an CBE. If an exhaust sounds great but produces terrible gains then I wont buy it. If it sounds terrible but gets high gains then I wont buy it. Quality is definitely important all around.

If this exhaust produces the same type of high power [or near] some of the other big name exhausts are I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I still find it odd that the comparison is with an intake. We expect exhausts to produce power and we expect them to produce more power than an intake.

Any chance we can get a graph WITH the baseline?
