Top Speed Pro-1

Member gsworld2014 has a set. Nice to see competition is healthy for our cars.

 

I just checked their site...F430 headers for $999. Also on eBay Ferrari F430 430 Coupe Spider 05-09 TOP SPEED PRO-1 Performance Header Headers | eBay

 

They are excellent!!! Have done about $1500 miles with them. No issues and the car sounds excellent! i figured for the price I would give them a try and I couldn't be happier with them. The sound is awesome.

 

Never bought anything for the Ferrari but I have seen their stuff and it does look good and work good .

 

Nice looking and great price. Only thing I would say is 4-1 header design is based on equal length tubes. These are not. But as GS says, they are good.

 

I had their Challenge exhaust on my F355. Figment and quality was great, can't complain.

 

The price is indeed great...1/4 of fabspeed???
anyone know where are they made?

 

Had one of their exhausts on my 360 until I pulled it and put on a CS system. System is light, all polished stainless. Back box can be picked up with one hand easily. System has no valves, pretty loud, F1 shrill at high rpms...

Manufacture quality is excellent. Company is out of Dallas, not sure if that is manufacturing and distribution or just distribution.

Like I said, I had it....and it is currently for sale. See my add in the classified section....

 

does the top speed header make the car louder and change in tone just like fabspeed and AP as documented?

they are on sale now for $850....

 

They are made in Asia. Same as fabspeed and most of them...

 

It's louder but I have heard any headers will make them louder.

 

I see

Does it drone unpleasantly when u just cruise around town? Or just up the volume throughout the range...

Thanks for the feedback!

3 major differences between top speed pro-1 and Fabspeed/Agency Power

1. The pro-1 are not equal length tubes, not sure how this impacts exhaust pulses compared to equal length Fabspeed/AP

2. The pro-1 pipes have multiple small pipes welded together between flange and collector. With Asian steel this increases odds of a cracked weld

3. The pro-1 head flange is thinner and the primary pipes butt up right against it vs the Fabspeed/AP having a flange transition to primary pipes that is less likely to crack.

$999 pro-1 vs $2300 AP may be enough for some to chance the cheaper product, but even if replaced under warranty the shop rate to remove and reinstall will negate the savings

 

From what I read there's no warranty at all for all top speed products? Maybe I read wrong

If true that's a big 4th difference. Lifetime warranty on AP and Fabspeed last I heard

 

On #2 they are all like that if you look close. The AP and fabspeed are just polished at the welds

Also I think th AP and fabspeed are also from Asia.

I think they do warrantee them although you have very little chance of damaging the pipes. They are stainless steel and well made.

I have to agree with "Turbotuner20v" about the headers (i cannot comment about other products from Pro-1) that the Pro-1 are multiple pieces welded together while the AP ones are not. My AP headers just came in from Vivid Racing and they are by far a superior quality compared to the Pro-1. The Pro-1, the welds were very amature/sharp/rough and the welds did not line up correctly. To me the Pro-1 headers were more in line with Honda/Toyota aftermarket performance parts and i did't want to risk them on my car.
I will let the pictures talk for themselves.

The IPE/Fabspeed/AP also has the reinforcement pipe attaching them to the flange. Thus this bigger pipe right out of the flange. This is a crack prone area. They are all made in Taiwan/China, just at different standard/craftsmanship.
