Question CNT vs Top Speed Pro

Hey guys don't want to start any kind of war here before I even begin. I keep reading great things about both of these exhaust systems for our cars the ones that look kinda like the HKS and ARKs. From the pictures I seen CNT has a H-pipe and the Top Speed has a X-pipe and the resonators are only differences. I was wondering which would you guys recommend, why... before the exhaust mod I will be getting the CNT resonated TPs.

Thanks guys and thank you for the warm welcome to the forum.

imo the cnt looked slightly nicer to me because it had rolled tips and seems to take a little more rasp out from the exhaust vids i saw online. now thats not considering the new topspeed system that just got released either. but i can tell u that with the cnt cb and test pips that there is zero hint of rasp and keeps the tone mellow enough that nobody even realizes the car is running tp's

both systems seem to be very nice inexpensive systems. imo much nicer than the agency power or megan systems which are around the same price but sound AWFUL

Yea I think that is going to be my choice the full CNT header back sounds good and the tips look stockish.

i don't believe anyone has reported as far as the new topspeed catback, so can't really say anything as far as that goes.

I've had both the topspeed y-pipe model and the cnt exhaust. with motordyne art pipes, the topspeed sounded good but was VERY loud. rasped also in the upper 2k range.

the cnt catback is very mellow, very deep, and zero rasp. exactly what i wanted.

I wonder what would happen if I actually tried to buy this.

Perhaps I would be written a scathing email about how my brainpower, or lack thereof, is a detriment to human society.

I'm almost tempted to try.
