Question 98-05 Gs300 Manzo/Topspeed exhaust experiences?

Good evening. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with a Manzo or Top-speed cat back exhaust set up for the 2nd gen gs300's 98-05. I'm in the process of peicing a manifold back set up. I've been planning on going with a Megan Racing downpipe connected to either a Manzo or Top-speed cat back system. I'm up in the air though. The Top-speed is roughly $100 but both appear to be the same. Anyone have any experiences with either? fitment, sound, performance?

I have the TopSpeed Y-pipe on my GS430; sounds great and fitment is excellent. Can't say I've ever heard of Manzo though.

Can anyone chime in about this? I am also thinking of these two brands as a catback. Is the topspeed worth the extra money?

Bringing this thread backup from the dead. I'm in the same predicament. Top Speed (http://topspeedauto.com/lexus-gs300-...pes-axle-back/) seems to have the best offering out there for a cat back exhaust. Already have a Magnaflow high flow exhaust manifold installed with my supercharger system, installing a Megan midpipe, and am curious about the Top Speed cat-back exhaust system.

Any comments?

Is the one I have for a GS400 it sounds beautiful. The fitment is good until I put on the TOMS 6 link rear brace. It rubs a little on the drivers side rear back brace. But only when Im putting a good G-force load. I have the megan Y pipe as well. Only PIA part was working the mufflers around the hanger and not scratching the paint.

Topspeed/Manzo/M2 are all the same company..overseas construction

The products are definitely decent for the money!

Just like Megan is here in the US, but Hardrace everywhere else
