Top Speed Catback Exhaust

hey guys, i was curious to try them out from ebay so i bit the bullet one bought one. got it for 240$ shipped off of ebay. I got them today; took everything out of the box for pix. i gotta say the quality looks pretty good. the flanges are port-matched with the piping. hopefully ill be able to install it after midterms this week. ill post pix tomorrow after i upload it off of my cam.

update:
also, this is going to compliment the CE ypipe and cai that i already have installed.

$240 shipped is a great price and it looks pretty good, my only critique would be the sharp bends in the secondary pipe. The Nismo may be more free flowing in that respect, but then again it was over twice the cost. All in all a nice pic up.

apollos2 - yeah, price was a BIG factor in this case, lol. i thought about the bends as well but i figured they're mandrel bent so that help offset the type of bend.

thx guys for the comments so far!

In both of the vids the entire exhaust set-up is
the same except for the swapped out mufflers(JDM).
The Cat-back exhaust set-up is called burn-out
exhaust systems. I'll be ordering Racinglines Y-
Pipe next week as well to complete the full system.

I just caught that hobbit comment myself. HAHAHA!

My bad.... I thought I was being clear about swapping
out just the Top speed mufflers with two new weld-on JDM mufflers .

Do you remember the name of the seller that you brought this system from, because i can not find this exhaust on ebay for $240.00.

lookin for opinions, if i dont use my oem mufflers and get aftermarket dual tip ones, which one?

im thinkin the 14861 b/c those look close to the 07-08 max oem mufflers.

Why spend $700 on mufflers when you bought the whole set up for $240?

Do you have the link/site where you got your whole system from?

gollum67 - read 1st post please. it was just a thought. i want dual tips, matches the contour of the rear bumper imo. single looks weird. if we had an altima se-r type bumper, this would look badass.

blackmax07 - ill see what i can do. i personally do not have a way to record video except my laptop. im 6spd btw, lol. from what i gather, you'll lose some low end due to the bigger piping and with this exhaust, no crimp to help with back pressure. but mid to top end should pull nicely.

jsut a thought ... i could put it on the sidewalk and drive past it. iono.

I didn't buy my exhaust from Jotech; they installed it. It was over 2 years ago though.

Once again, great find.

Now if only someone will make a Kinetix IM knockoff....

HaHaHa.... He was referring to your feet in the one photo
you took @ the beginning of this thread. Remember in the
movies "The Lord of the Rings" where all the Hobbits ran
around with No Shoes?
