Default Top Speed Exhaust Fitment Q

I was just curious if anyone knows if theres any fitment issues with the top speed exhaust on the hr motor. I heared some exhausts dont work and just want to make sure before i buy it. Top Speeds website says it fits 02-up but I really dont trust some of these websites. Thanks for any help

just installed this exhaust about 3 days ago and love it. i got a hell of a deal on it too. the only problem we ran into was loosening the bolt that connects the cat back to the y pipe. other than that it was smooth sailing. highly recommend this exhaust for people who want that perfect deep tone that isnt raspy what so ever.best sounding exhaust imo. even my subie friends were impressed

had it for a few months on my 07. Sounds MEAN & DEEP as hell. however the drone at 1.5k~2.5k was just wayy too much for me so i had to switch to another exhaust. not sure on power gains though never dynoed it, but IMO it is the BEST sounding exhaust out there.

isnt top speed the weakest exhaust? It may be loud but it sucks from what i've read from other posts.

not from what I've read. Apparently it provides better gains than most exhausts because its all straight piping

I dynoed 277hp @ the wheels with my rsr exhaust

stock hr's thrown down about 260-263 @ the wheels ?

so at the most thats a 17hp gain just from the exhaust which isn't really that bad at all.

Without having a pre/post dyno from the same shop same day its hard to compare, much less same shop different day or different car different dyno, etc.

It could be a 4 hp loss for all we know...
