Thumbs up Vid of the eBay "Top-Speed" axle back exhaust mufflers

Finally got around to doing a video of the eBay exhaust. A lot of people were asking for a video and what it sounds like. Well here it is. Personally I think it sounds amazing. No cabin drone, and not obnoxiously loud like a can. Check it out. Tell me what you think!

Yeah I was quite impressed. Installed in less than 20 minutes. Not bad for a quick upgrade on sound and looks.

Sounds good man, I love mine. I've had mine for over a year and the finish still looks new.

Cool beans. Sounds kinda meaty!

I just built my mufflers by hand because I couldn't get the baffles in a configuration I wanted. I needed to set the back pressure/restriction to what I liked while tuning the baffles and honeycomb to sound like I want. It's not near as easy as buying them and I don't recommend it LOL.

I bought these as well but they've been sitting in a box for 3+ months. Top Speed started building exhaust systems for Lotus vehicles several years ago then ventured into more import applications. I assume they did their research and realized ebay was a good place to make a ton of cash. They make quality exhaust systems for a reasonable price. They are also located in Dallas, Texas... so you're buying from an American company.

I don't have time to work on this car anymore. Between planning a wedding, two jobs, family, friends, household chores, babysitting my nephew, holidays, mothers day, full moons, etc I don't get a lot of free time to work on the SC.

I love the look of these. Will the GS axle backs fit? these are only ones on eBay I found that look similar... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-GS300-...#ht_1953wt_909
