Bump! Just installed my Top Speed axleback. Like others have said, sounds amazing! Very low, deep tone. Can't even tell it's there at normal cruising speed. Sounds deep and refined under load. Absolutely no drone. Fit and finish is good. Both tips are sticking out the same distance and they look fairly even. The tips are a little large for my taste but they're growing on me. They fit nicely in the rear diffuser. I would highly recommend this exhaust to anyone who primarily DD's their car. The rest of my exhaust components are stock and I intend to keep them that way. Overall, very pleased with the purchase!

Do both of your tips sit exactly the same? My right sits a little higher and to the left than the right. Also, the left tip sits out a tiny bit more (or right tip further in, idk what's considered normal). You can't really tell in my above pictures but in person & up close you can see.

I agree with you on the tip size but it grew on me; they fit perfectly with the diffuser. The sound/tone is perfect too.

I was staring at the tips from different angles earlier and it definitely seems like I've got the same issues as you. Upon further inspection, it looks like my right tip is about a quarter inch higher than the left and the left is also sticking out about a quarter inch more than the right. They are both setting slightly more to the left in the diffuser cut outs. It started pulling that way after the flange was tightened up. I screwed around with the hangers a while but it didn't help much.

@luuser75 You can see in this one the tips are slightly off center. It's more noticeable on the right tip.

Whoa, that's pretty far off. Try adjusting your FP, I was able to align mine better by doing so.

It's gotta be the FP. She was perfectly aligned until the flanges were bolted together. After that it started pulling to the left.

Forgot to mention earlier, my buddy and I weighed both the sock exhaust and the Top Speed during installation. The stock axle-back came out to 26lbs and the Top Speed was 21lbs. 5lb weight reduction, not bad. We also managed to do the install without lifting the car. There was just enough room to work back there with the car on the ground.

How exactly did you adjust your FP to help with alignment? I don't think it's that bad as is but if it's easy to fix it a little I'd like to.

My Invidia FP is adjustable, there's a bolt attached to a bracket that''ll let you shift it around. You'll probably need to move your midpipe too at the one hanger holding it in place. I pushed my midpipe inwards from the driver side so it would shift the exhaust to the right. Vise versa if you need the exhaust closer to the left.
