Question Inexpensive Exhaust!

What do you guys think?
My Scion FRS 2014 Top Speed Pro-1 Dual Catback Exhaust System
Sounds great,great price and a perfect fit. Welding is excellent aswell

This 400$ Top Speed cat back system for the frs/brz was the best bang for the buck I've ever spent on an exhaust. The fitment was spot on! Hardware was all included. Even the flanges were ported. The welds were top notch.

Install was as simple as it gets. Put it up on race ramps, spray wd-40 on the rubber bushings to get them out, unbolt old exhaust, install new exhaust. It took about 10 minutes.
Thank You h4nh and top speed pro!

I think it sounds too positive for a $400 catback, let's see the welds, and is there any drone at all?

That is what I immediately noticed as well. I would fix that or return the exhaust if it were me.

Sounds good though. How are the welds and bends? Weight?

Yeah It fit perfectly fine. I just didn't align the rubber hangings correctly. Meant to get that fixed but haven't had time yet. I'll keep you guys updated :]
Overall good cat.

It aligns fine. It just needs to set in with the hangers. 5000 miles on it so far with no issues. I even took it out to the track and it holds up fine.

It sounds goo, but the tips are too close together. I'm with the other OCD posters.

The thing to know about these 'cheap' exhaust is that they all use small piping, usually 60mm. Fine for any NA application, but you'll be buying twice if you decide to go FI in the future.
