Tanabe axle back or topspeed!

Ok so I have a question! I am running full magnaflow exhaust and stillen HFCs......extreme rasp! I wanna put on different mufflers! But these two brands say it'll only fit to the oem piping.....well i looked under my car and i cant tell if itll fit directly to my magnaflow pipe if i just took off the magnaflow muffler! Any one know if it will? Called both brands and they said they had no idea.....real big help! Looks like it'll fit to me! But i dont wanna make a purchase that i will regret. Need some expects help!

How hard would it be to take one of your mufflers off? Bc I posted pics of where they would connect, and I guess you can make a knowledgable decision base on that.


Here's the link to the pics:

If you are only going with mufflers I'd go with the Tanabe. They are a little pricey but sound nice as hell. On the flip side if the Topspeed is the same price and is a FULL exhaust, i'd go with that. My 2 cents anyway

Thanks for the help, what I'm trying to figure out really is that will the mufflers fit directly to magnaflows full piping or only to oem! I have magnaflow on and I want to replace only the mufflers!

I looked up magnaflow full exhaust and it looks to be different than oem. So I wouldn't count on it fitting.

They will not fit the magnaflow catback. You would have to modify your current exhaust to make any of those axle back fit. The price difference between topspeed and Tanabe is crazy so dont know why you are considering them as options.

Can you post a vid of your exhaust? Im also running Magnaflow catback on my coupe and want to add resonated test pipes (I know that is not what you have but for some reference)

The previous owner of my G put the catback magnaflow system on, then replaced the muffler with top speed mufflers. He was able to accommodate this by using a flex pipe on each side.

Flex pipe extensions, I believe around 8". They were placed after the X pipe.
