I'm just asking since none of the ebay sellers are selling their products as "Top Speed".

My Topspeed header had a crack in the flex pipe. I had a new flex pipe welded in place and, to date, it has been trouble free (none of the rattling that was reported for the Comptech).

I think that my Topspeed header was slightly out of alignment with the cat. This IMHO causes an upward pull on that end of the flex pipe. Over time, and especially under hard acceleration when the engine torques, a crack in the flex pipe is sure to develop if the flex pipe is of poor quality. I had mine replaced. Interestingly, the muffler shop that did the replacement cut the old flex pipe out and welded the new one in, all without removing the header. The advantage to this method is that the flex pipe and header are completely aligned with the cat when the pieces are welded allowing for a more "custom" fit.
