Default TopSpeed Exhaust questions

I just want to know a few things about this exhaust before I do decide to purchase it.

1. For those who have had it for a while, is it still intact, and looking good? Or has it given you problems, or any rust issues?

2. What type of performance gains can I see from a full catback system like this?

3. Is it overall worth the money? or would you spend double the money and go for a borla?

Thanks!

I have the M2/topspeed exhaust on my GS4 and I love it. Thee's a video of a few quick revs in the thread "new guy biting the exhaust bullet for all" if you wanna get an idea of how it sounds. I warn you though that it does not line up absolutely perfectly. The front flange on mine is just a little off causing the tips to be slightly off center. I plan on fixing this by having the front resonator removed and having the exhaust shop line it up properly when it is taken off.

To answer the o.p. I'd give it a shot. Ive had tons of luck with ebay exhausts, and like the other poster said, they seem to not line up 100% everytime. But, they are a great deal for the price. I'll be buying the same exhaust in the future

500% better than the ****ty borla exhaust. The borla drons and fits like ****. Topspeed stil drons a bit but not nearly as bad as the borla.

Very wrong, I decided to go with borla over topspeed. There is no droning, sounds great and fits like a dream it honestly looks awesome! Borla makes it sounds great!
