These both look identical and are obviously tanabe clones but at these prices I could have a new exhaust every couple years or every year.

Are they both the same or one better than the other... On flea bay for a couple hundred bucks a pop

i think its manufactured by the same company, just different names

No not at all! I have top speed with the axle back, y pipe and berk test pipes. Sounds Sick

They sound awesome at WOT but otherwise too loud and droney, in my opinion. =/

That would be the test pipes! makes it pretty aggressive lol just the axle and y pipe sounds just like the tanabe system though.

even the realdeal tanabe has drone.

I think the drone might be subdued if did not have the Y pipe or test pipes. That does sound good though. I likely would just be going for the Axle back for a slight increase in depth and volume.

Oh so you'd say this system is louder than tanabe pipes, well just comparing axelbacks. ...

The Y pipe doesnt make it louder, just a little more power and better throttle response

I'm talking about tanabe/clones just as axlebacks on stock.

The drone would really wear on me.

there is no drone on just the tanabe/clone axle back

Damn, if this really is a simple and clean knockoff that is 1/3 the cost, I rather buy this since I am on a budget. Anymore inputs ? Any issues ?

jmueller

Exactly. I really would like to hear a sample of one, but coupled to a system with all other stock exhaust components.

Well my dad has the tanabe axle back knockoffs with the beveled tips. There are 2 versions from Top Speed, one with the silencer and straight tips, and a non-resonated version with beveled tips.

The one with the beveled tips sounds great at WOT but it DRONES when driving around. It's not the worst drone in the world, but it's obvious enough to wear on me.
