Dayum, 655+30 shipping? No returns (not that id return it), but geeze. I was getting quoted about 100 less than that everywhere else. Thanks for the help guys but I may be stuck until later this month.

Is there anyway of hiding the mufflers. I have seen pics of G sedans with the Tanabe Axleback exhaust showing.

Just paint the cans black. It'll make them less noticeable.

It's funny that if you search tanabe, there are tons of vendors with it for sale...also tons have recently been sold in classifieds...now that I'm down to buy - I can't get my hands on one from a trusted source at a good price.

Still taking any suggestions...

I've just always been under the impression that the tanabe is a better build quality and fits more snug to the rear bumper cut outs. Is it louder? I don't recall.

I won't talk **** about other products but do some research on top speed and look at the quality and workmanship compared to tanabe. Apples to oranges, man.

My TopSpeed has far exceeded expectations, build quality and sound has been great, I got one of the first issued so I can't say if the quality is still the same, but mine has been

Isn't Top Speed the brand with the thin non-rolled, unfinished exhaust tips? I looked into them before getting Tanabes, the posts I read didn't make me want to pick up a set. I was speaking more on build quality and aestetics then the sound.

Yep, they had a group buy here about a year ago and they shipped them w/ the crap tips and really gave the exhaust a black eye. I got mine a couple years ago and had very nice tip[s and overall build quality. Here's my exhaust pics~
