It looks very good. The flex pipe is super beefy now.

Yup, under warranty, which is why I bought Xforce rather than Topspeed, eventhough they are the same thing.

I got it done under warranty, so I can't advise on price. I will report back this Saturday on whether the ringing sound, which I suspect comes from the accordion flex pipe, is eliminated.

That header above is more art to me than a machine part. Truly amazing.

What header you got aarrong? Not the topspeed?

**Crapdaz** · 02-10-2008 01:55 PM

nice reckon it's got a better design than the others.

aaron has the Xforce (rebranded top speed) so his got warranty for it.

Curik, a member here got his flex pipe replaced by Racing Projects in Mitcham (Melb) for only 60 bucks.

I got my cat and topspeed header installed today and also got the flex pipe replaced.
There is this annoying "rattle-like" sound when i accelerate hard. It kinda sounds like a leaf is trapped and rattling.

Is that normal? It doesnt sound like its a whistling sound at all. The guy at the exhaust shop told me its because there is increased flow to the stock catback which is what causes the sound. Is that true, or was there something wrong with the install?\

BTW. when not in "D", reving the engine produces no rattling sound...im confused :s

No idea. I'll let you know what mine sounds like when I install it. Maybe you should record a video so that we can hear your sound.
