Default hm.. are these items good?

I was planning to buy em based on what i've read around the internet the reviews are pretty good for the OBX Headers. but i don't know for sure. As for the Top Speed Pro-1 Catback Exhaust, wasn't able to find any reliable source from anyone for the catback exhaust. I want to be real sure and confident what i will be spending my money on before buying anything.


reliable? good performance? good fitment? others?

OBX Header - (pending)

Top Speed Pro-1 Catback Exhaust - (pending)

Tsudo Catack Exhaust - (pending)


anyone owns these items? or know good information of the items? be real helpful. thank you =D

Hey man I'm looking into the Top speed pro 1 catback system too. I've been doing some research to find out if its a solid system or not too. From what ive seen, a lot of g 35's and 350z's have this system and they really like them. My cousin has a g35 and he said so many people on his forums have this top speed system. What ive also heard is that its a very loud system. I youtubed "lexus is300 top speed pro 1" and theres some clips if you want to hear it. I think im gonna get this system though...i mean theres always going to be people who got amazing exhaust systems running all the way to the engine that probably cost like over a grand that are going to hate on this system cuz its a lot cheaper...i mean im just looking for something for the time being that will sound good with my k&n intake...its my daily driver too so yea...post up anything that would be useful...good luck man!

oh yea i forgot to mention that its all made of the same material, same design, and all mandrel bent too so its not really that big of a difference

also i talked to the guy selling the top speed and he assured me it was direct bolt on...no adjustments needed

the Tsudo exhaust was on youtube too but i def liked the top speed better...
