Charlie Chan was a comical character and for my money, there's nothing comical about the performance of the Top Speed products. As you will note, I have a few of their products and have found them to be very high quality. My Indy commented favorably on the quality of the exhaust.

I object to the Charlie Chan reference and think that fair minded people would too.
For the record, I'm not a bleeding heart whiner, far from it. Most of my opinions would be well to the right of Mitt Romney.

Okay, back to car stuff.
I've saved my original muffler and one day I'll find a shop to do the "Pedro exhaust mod" on it.

I'm considering between paying a local shop $125-150 to perform the Pedro Sport Exhaust to my stock muffler, or going the Top Speed exhaust route for $300-350. Still not sure which way to go on this, but the Pedro Sport Exhaust is less than half the cost.

Fair point, but at 15.5 pounds, the Top Speed Pro muffler is less than half the weight of the 34.5 for the stock, plus the add on pipe.

The Top Speed product makes a magnificent sound. Try it and resell it if you hate the drone at 2,500 in 6th gear. (Or change gears.)
