Top Gear Motorworks Equal Length Exhaust – My Review

[Smee]

Rev... if i do that cross over you have. Leave the secondary cats in place and then the 2 x resonators at the end will that have the same effect?

Yes, that would help for sure. These engines catless are extraordinarily loud and raspy as they've discovered with the equal length setup, the midpipe needs to be adequately resonated to minimise the inherent raspiness.

Also...

WE NEED MOAR VIDEOS!!1!1

Get in line! I want mine first. I chatted with our friend in Norway and he has received the first of two boxes. The muffler section appeared to be very well packaged and the build quality is top notch. Just waiting on USPS to deliver the second one.

I’ve been doing runs through the tunnels north of my house shooting videos with the stock exhaust. It’s going to be fun repeating the process with the TG system.

Anyone else who has placed an order care to chime in about the expected delivery date? I'm just trying to get an idea how many of you fine folks could potentially be ahead of me in the queue.

I received an email from Mitch last week asking how I'd prefer the flap controller to be configured (I went with full control over the valves as opposed to "off" defaulting to OEM operation), but haven't heard anything since.

I'd assume they're getting close to being finished with the next batch, but I still refresh my inbox religiously throughout the day in the hopes that I'll receive that glorious "your exhaust is ready for shipment" email.

He asked me the same question about the same time. I got a message from him last night stating he's going to try to have the next batch ready to ship on Wednesday, 24 June. Hopefully yours is included.

Same with yours man, I hope both of ours will be on their way soon!

I’ve actually sent them an email but no response. Are they usually slow to respond? If so, how are you contacting them?

Do you have Instagram? Direct messaging them is usually fastest. @topgearmotorworks

Otherwise you can text them at their public number.

They’ve been slow to respond lately because Mitch has been preparing their 24 Hours of Lemons car. The race was this weekend. Give him a couple days, since a 24-hour race takes a lot out of you.

Just got my notification this afternoon: the exhaust should be in the mail and on it's way this Friday

Looking forward to pairing it with the AR Design Catted downpipes I received last week!

When did you place your order with them? Just curious to compare against other systems and delays and wait times

I ordered mine on April 22nd. I'm not sure how many are produced in each batch, but I'd expect a few of us to be getting an email soon.

Awesome...thanks

I ordered my exhaust on May 7th. More than two months later, I still have yet to receive the second invoice. A month ago Mitch asked me how I wanted my valve controller configured. His most recent update, from 18 June, said he was hopeful it would go out by 24 June. My latest inquiry has been sitting unread for over 48 hours.

Are others who ordered around the same time still waiting?

For what it's worth, I've been talking to them about something unrelated, and I haven't gotten a response from them since Monday. Maybe I'll stop in on my way home from work today and say hi if they don't get back to me by then. I'll mention you.

You, sir, are a scholar and gentleman.

Just curious but do you guys have any idea the chaos in the world around us at the moment ?

Of course response times might be delayed.

I hope everything is okay on their end. I haven't received a tracking number yet and emailed them on Monday inquiring if it had shipped out on Friday as he had hoped, but so far I haven't received a response.

I'm sure it'll be on it's way soon if it's not already, but it still makes me a bit anxious regardless.

Yep, all is well. Stopped by today just to say hi. They said they'll be getting back to everyone shortly

Heres the thing....delays in production and/or receiving materials given the current situation is fine if communicated with the customers...there is nothing going on in the world that prevents someone from answering an email..even if someone is out sick there should be more than one person who can answer emails otherwise you have created a single point of failure within your business and are asking for people to get upset.

Wait is worth it guys! 😎👍🔥
