just add some goodies to my car..My impression

well after getting the Top Speed UDP installed, and custom Mandrel bent cat-back to my (old Altima Greddy SP) muffler.. the car feels ALIVE..

I have yet to add the B & M transcooler but the car really picks up now.

I couldnt be any happier.

so far K & N drop in filter
Top Speed Y pipe
Top Speed UDP
Custom Cat-back -Greddy SP ( which also sounds soo nice )
Top Speed Rear Sway Bar
Stillen STB
Cattman Coilovers

Wait a minute. I bought an RSTB off ebay. It's brand was Pro-1 TopSpeed.

Now, since your username is Pro-1. Did you make this stuff?

I've never heard of this Top Speed brand. Can anyone share thoughts? Is their Y pipe any good? Any dyno sheets?

I'm just really curious how reputable they are especially in performance. Because if I can see proof of gains in their ypipes, then I will buy one from Pro-1.

Ahhh, I see why you asked Pro-1 if he's related to the company. Hehehe.

Pro-1 post some pics of the y pipe you're selling, I'd like to see what it looks.

RSTB is supposed to make a pretty damn good difference with a drop.

Those are different.

Topspeed has a web site but its hard to search for. They have a handfull of knock off parts. Their RSB and Y pipe are both Stillen's designs, one of their STS is a B&M design. I installed the Topspeed B&M style STS in a G20 and I installed a genuine B&M STS in an Altima. Needless to say you get what you pay for. The Topspeed shifter rattles like crazy.

Siren do you have a cat back or just the Y pipe now ?

I belive its the Flex pipe... after I got my shop to the car they said the Flex pipe on the Y was busted.. But this was due to bad motor mounts.. the engine will rock back and cause the flex to wear.

As for the shifter.. YES I had an issue with the shifter in 1997 when I was doing a Group Deal for the Site. The problem is you might need to add washer or bushings .

as of the Name Pro - 1.. well My uncle use to be part owner but He sold his share and moved on . im still good with the company BUT im not a sale or promotor for them

Ive just used there parts on my Atima when I was on boost and I figure I go with them on my Maxima.

Is that true? Isn't Stillen's y-pipe comparable to Cattman's in terms of power gain? If that is the case, than I may consider getting this y-pipe.

I just gotta add -- that after taken that OEM restictive exhuast..the car is alive.. Usually I get home after midnight from work, and come home and sleep.

Well Ive been out almost every night.

I acutally got the car up to close to 130 last night on the Turnpike racing a EVO going home from South Beach.. Ive never felt the car felt soo strong after just some add bolt -ons.. I love my Max Now. I think I will hold up on trading the car in for M45 for another year.

QUOTE]
I dont have a cat back system as per say,

Its all custom work from the y-pipe back. it converts right after the "race pipe" cat converter to 3" SS all the way to the muffler. No resonator's or b-pipes, Im gonna redo my clip this weekend.
