Default Topspeed a cheap brand?

would you guys consider the brand Topspeed a cheap or lowgrade brand? They carry things from test pipes, exhausts, sway bars, suspension pieces.

I've seen a lot of subarus and stuff liking this brand. is this just another "megan racing" or "JVT" knock off low grade stuff? Discuss.

Topspeed is a performance tuning shop in GA that has a good rep in the Subi circles - they also have a really kick a$$ time attack car...

I dont' think it's low grade but it's definetly not top of the line stuff. I woudl say middle of the ground with megan being at the bottom.

reason why i asked because i was thinking of getting their under car brace but i feel like their products might just be the same if not worse than Megan stuff. I have a feeling like they all come from the same china factory.

I bought some topspeed headers & while I really like what they've done for my Z. I gotta tell ya that the drivers side header bolt, that was welded for the O2 sensor, wasn't centered. I had to remove the header & grind down one side to allow enough room for the sensor to go in properly. I was pissed, since it was a chore getting the darn things up there & bolted in. Other than that though, they've been great.

I have topspeed TestPipes and the quality is pretty good for the price. No different from other TP i've seen. But then again it's just TP, can't comment on their exhaust,headers,etc.

I have the exhaust nothing wrong with it after a year but I just got tired of the loud rumble might be putting it back on here in a week or so. I would def. recommend them to anyone.
