Bought TopSpeed pro1 exhaust, I got scammed?
Hello guys,
I purchased a used catback system from craigslist. the seller said its Topspeed pro1 catback system. When i reached his place, dude owned a nice big house in a very good neighborhood and owned a GTR, 2015 M6 with with adv 1 and another M5.
So seeing that the guy got money and he loves cars, I forgot about double checking what I am getting (so fool of me :/..)
he sold me this system saying its topspeed pro1 for sedan for a great deal.
see pictures below.
now when i got home, I showed pictures to my cousin and we realized that this looks different than whats online. can you guys double check if i got topspeed pro1 or something else lol...
this item was sitting in his garage, i will have to clean / polish it.
I am super suspicious with the tip, look inside the tip, is it like that?
All this for $300<br/>Y pipe, test pipes and the whole thing.<br/>PS: I will not be installing test pipes.
see inside of the tip? <br/>PS: Its 78F out here in south florida .
see the design?
the tip inside the muffler is not coming off, even if i take off the screw that was installed in it, i think its part of the muffler..

it looks like either TSP or Manzo to me. Both are nearly identical and made by the same ODM overseas.

Looks like the TopSpeed w/ the chitty as$ nasty thin wall tips rather than the 100x better beveled/rolled tips, change the tips and you should be back to smiling
And all that for $300 is a deal, even w/ having to do a tip change.
If you notice in your top pic, the tips have a 1/4" hole toward the end of the tip, that's the dead giveaway that that's the chit tipped version of the Top Speed Pro1, probably bought during that group buy debacle here~

I think there's some pics scattered toward the end, but this was a sad experience for all involved.

Blnewt, Off topic, but how would you suggest to change the tips since I have the same exhaust.. Btw the link you provided is not working..

As far as tips, it's a 2.25" OD and the latest versions have 4" OD (mine are 4.5"). It would be a simple weld on job for any exhaust shop and some of the clamp on ones don't look bad as long as the clamp section isn't obtrusive.
Here's one pic I found in that thread, I think the latest tips at least have the sawblade edges cleaned up YUCK
Here's just one link from Magnaflow to give you an idea of what's out there
