I need to install my Soul street headers. I have the Softronic tune installed already. Looking forward to your feedback.

Why did you choose Top Speed?

There is another thread in Forum that the TopSpeed catback is very cost effective around $800. (https://flat6motorsports.com/product...caAjBsEALw_wcB)

I've also seen more than one forum discussion regarding poor fitment and bad welds that crack open with very little use with the Top Speed exhaust, so its possible you get exactly what you pay for. You could buy the non Ti for $500 not that long ago which is right in line with the cheap China made stuff out there

Yeah their steel version is $800 and their titanium is $1,999, which is inexpensive, as well. I'm a firm believer that I get what I pay for and avoided going any inexpensive option.

I read that there’s version two which supposedly has better fitment.

I think all of them are made in China or Taiwan

No, Fabspeed and Soul are built in house in the U.S. Not sure about some of the other brands, but I believe Borla is also in full control of their manufacturing locally as they are a U.S. family owned business which carries their last name and have been designing custom exhaust for many years. The OEM for FVD products is a well known company in Germany called M&M which also provides the factory Porsche cup car exhaust, so there are a lot of high quality makers out there to choose from. I purchased my headers directly from M&M, and they are a work of art!

Ha, those are the same as FVDs but with a blank name plate. Was it cheaper to get them straight from M&M? They are nice, I've had them for a season now.
