Default Tanabe or TOP SPEED 2000 GS300

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the two mentioned exhaust systems installed. I have noticed that some exhaust tend to bend down and be closer to the ground and I dont like them. I am considering an exhaust for my next mod and would really appreciate some pictures and which one is the better system

you need to post in the performance section.
i've never heard of exhausts bending down...there was a thread questioning whether or not the MT hangs lower, possibly due to increased piping size though...

never heard of top speed...do some research by using the search button GL!

I have looked up the Top Speed exhaust and cannot find it for the life of me! (I work part time at my full time, searching the internet) So for availability not to mention known reputation, Tanabe

I have the TopSpeed one on my car. It's basically a replica of the Greddy EVO2 but with a few modifications to make it more install friendly. I've worked with both systems before. Basically the TS one allows you to reuse the factory hanger and rubber rings. The genuine Greddy one, you have to ditch the rubber hangars and bolt it directly to the car.

Thank you everyone for the input, that is what I meant to say "hangs lower". Based on the reputation, I think tanabe is better, but to me top speed sounds better. the price is a huge factor too. Does anyone know if anyone is selling their used tanabes?

Is the Tanabe a full catback system? As in, includes the Y-pipe center section? I would be pissed if I paid $700 for just axle backs mufflers lol.

tanabe is catback. you get the cans + tips + something that looks like a 'Y', i would assume being the infamous 'Y-piping'. i agree, to pay a pretty penny, tanabe should be nice...and it is (for me that is, at least)
