NY Top axleback. (1 Viewer)

Recently installed the NY Top axleback exhaust and it is a great little upgrade. Super simple install.

Changes the tone to a more acceptable note for my taste. Slightly deeper and more refined.

Highly recommended!

Thank you, hopefully more to come soon. This is an amazing platform to work with.

Same. I saw that sale and couldn't pass it up! I agree with what you are saying on tone too. Not too much, but just enough to notice.

It's also nice (sort of) to see that the exhaust hangers are stretched a bit to the side (you know what I mean) as mine was too and I was wondering if I f'ed something up. lol

any drone when on the highway?

Yes, they are a little off; but the exhaust itself is centered. Quality parts overall.

No drone whatsoever. Just a nice change of tone.

Man...I didn't need this...but I just bought one...

Hope you like it as much as I do. Definitely not a need, but still functional.

Good to know, I was wondering the same thing.

 

[munkeeboi]

And it arrived already. I’ll find the time to install this tomorrow

Got up to get an early start before leaving for work

Ok...here's the initial impressions.

• Super lightweight and easy to install
• Definitely a more gutteral tone as others have stated. Not obnoxious but you can tell it has a different growl to it.
• Completely stock sounding while cruising but comes alive with engine load. (No drone!)
• I was afraid it was going to sound ricey....but i think it accents the engine and the GX well.
• The exhaust sound now complements the induction noise from my AFE Intakes
• I was going to wait to see what AWE comes up with, but I am happy with this dump pipe as it is likely half of what a full exhaust will cost and creates the necessary noises i was looking for. The reduced weight and added clearance was a nice bonus.

Install tips

• Need a 14mm socket to remove the Stock exhaust and need a 13mm, 15mm (preferably deep socket) and Torx (will have to check out home what size I used) to to install the NYTOP.
• It helps to jack up the Driver rear a little to be able to maneuver the stock exhaust section when removing it
• remember to remove the stock gasket from the stock exhaust flange
• Best to install the NYTOP hanger onto the dump pipe after you've moved the dump pipe into place under the GX.
• No need to remove the spare

And what everyone always wants to see... Comparison videos (taken from my Iphone)

Totally agree with all of the above. Good tip on connecting the hangers last.

Glad you like it!

Just installed mine yesterday and I like the sound and weighs nothing. Is all there stuff made in China?

 

[munkeeboi]

yes....from my experience...all there stuff is made in China.

 

[RCFGX]

But a huge issue but be nice if there were transparent about it

 

[munkeeboi]

from their website "All NYTOP products are designed and engineered in California, USA, and manufactured globally. "

did you get a chance to check what size that torq socket was ?

T-30. It’s to install the 2 screws joining the NYTOP hanger to the dump pipe
