Just so everyone here knows Top Speed just refunded me $60 for the exhaust modifications I had to pay for and they didnt even ask for proof or pictures or anything. Thats just amazing customer service. Buy this shit guys, atleast theyre willing to backup thier work!

I'm pretty sure these cat-back/headers/other exhaust parts are mass produced/rebranded products (probably from taiwan)
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/KLS-POWER...-/360751396226 - same exhaust set up, different company http://www.empireperformance.com.au/...ke-piping.html -same header, different company (claims 10-15hp over stock, with cat? Sceptical..) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Manzo-Sta...item58aac3a971 -same header, different company again Theres probably others. The cat-back and header look exactly the same, cant be a coincide. Still, interesting to see the dyno on this cheap system. Last edited by eliminist; 04-04-2014 at 04:57 AM. |

Just installed these from Perth, WEST AUSTRALIA supplier EMPIRE PERFORMANCE.
They have been updated with the flex joints removed as that seemed to have been responsible for rattles in more than 1 car. My little beauty is running stock tune and MILLTEK header back with overpipe exhaust , no cat. Therefore these are and FT86CLUBs were the only UEL headers with a Cat. (Running without a Cat isnt an option, its just wrong). The little beauty sounds great, definetly less UEL than the other options out there but still has a syrupy smooth howl that tighttens up higher up the rev range. Definetly smoother in both torque delivery and engine smoothness, no CEL yet. No rasp and no drone. I think the MILLTEK with its long resonator and nice smooth tone helps it sound so good. |

The torque dip is less but not gone. Engine revs quicker and smoother The finish is average, certainly not up there with the best but the price is right for around $550 Aus. im confident in the after sales support from Paul and the others at EMPIRE. Aiming to get a recording put up soon |
