TurboXS RX-8 Catback Deal

http://www.rx8club.com/images/statusicon/forum_new.gif


The Re- Introduction
TurboXS would like to kick off our new vender membership with an awesome Introductory Price on our Full Exhaust System for the RX-8. They are now back instock, so we are packaging them up with a Free Racepipe for the Power Hungry RX-8 Owners. All for $499 plus shipping!

The Exhaust
TurboXS RX8 Cat-Back is a high performance 304 Stainless steel solution providing increased flow without the annoying drone associated with performance exhaust systems. This is due to the Tuned chambers and vehicle specific muffler materials. Exhaust gases exit through dual 4.0 inch tips to unleash the beast within on your RX-8.

The Revisions
-We have changed the Tips to a slash cut style which accentuates the lines of the rear bumper fascia.
-Tips were also extended to reduce hot spot when used with the racepipe
-All pipes were polished to a mirror like show car finish.

The Gains – Catback ONLY

The Gains – Catback + Racepipe
If you decide to use the race pipe together with the catback you will see a 24 whp gain and a 8 ft. lbs gain. Take a look below!

Man I wish the racepipe would have come with mine. I waited 2.5 mnths for the new exhaust. I will say that I do love the sound and the look of it. The welding on the exhaust was flawless. Beautiful work

A 6% gain in torque and a 12% gain in horsepower for $500 bucks......that is less than $21 per 1 horsepower gain........if the car had no other mods, that seems more than reasonable for $500 bucks....

true, but anyone who has been paying attention for the last few years knows that 13/24 hp gains are ridiculous for catback/midpie-catback combo.

that being said, I love the turboXS exhaust, one of the best sounds out there, $500, and excellent craftsmanship.

What does it sound like with the cat ON?

Basically we are saying the same thing........just two different approaches in saying it.....;)

pretty sick but are the tipps still short enough to melt the shrouds? i cant tell the difference between this one and the old turboxs

Roughly 3 inches longer and are Slash Cut

Will it melt the shrouds? What does it sound like with the cat on?

you can def. tell they are longer than before..thats a awesome price for a full exhaust system
and midpipe!

These will not burn the bumper

oh man i love this..... wish i had the money... do layaway? lol

aggg ive been wanting this for a while now

have you changed anything on the new shipments of the turbo xs? because you guyz were out for a while on back orders these new models seem different for starters they are longer tip so we no long have to customize it and make the tips longer

i love it as soon as i get enough money i'm coming for your exhaust system

Sweet... :bluesuit:

nice. I had to pay extra for a shop to install SLP tips on my turboxs exhaust.

Bang for the buck this is the best exhaust system for the RX-8.

My only "complaint" is that noobs hear "turbo xs" and think they need a turbo to use it.

Decent price & quality... really like the sound as well. I have one of the old design ones. My only complaint is that after I tried contacting the company on the tips melting the bumper, I got more or less no response after several attempts.

Are you using the mid/racepipe? What does it sound like in the car at 70 - 80 mph? I have a Borla on my Miata and it is loud at 70-80 mph with top up and tough to use a cell phone because of the exhaust noise. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm with you - on my meager budget, this exhaust is especially appealing, but I'm worried about the noise. Never heard one in person, but clips online sound good. My concern is that it may get irksome with daily use or drone on the freeway. Anyone care to comment?

Also, how does ground clearance with this exhaust compare to the stock cat and muffler?

This might help.

this exhaust is sweet...dammit but I already got a midpipe.

wanna just sell me the tips :)

That looks sexy.
I might think about it.

I am running the exhaust w/ my oem cat and I have no annoying drone at 70-80. I can still use my phone no problem. It will probably be pretty loud w/o the cat tho.

Im not using the race pipe. It kinda drones at highway speed & can be a bit hard to use a phone in the car unless you put the silencers in. They seem to take the edge off enough to keep the sound from getting annoying ... definitely a must to use when you take a long trip

I'm so pumped, just placed the order can't wait to get this sucker on.

Yes it is!

Are there hangers on the race pipe? And once again, how is ground clearance with this system?

Every pipe has a hanger on it, similar to the stock exhaust. The ground clearance is pretty good for a 3 inch exhaust.

Is anyone able to provide a sound clip of just the catback? Each video I've seen has the full system installed. I don't mind receiving a free racepipe, but I would only install the catback as long as my cat was working.

yeah just a catback video would be clutchh

i went and bought mine directly from your store in gaithersburg sometime in summer of 2008. i love it. its a great exhaust.

definitely not 24hp though. hahah. maybe like 12hp, with the race pipe. :lol:

/\ Lol what he said. I would say 15whp max.

I don't think anyone installs just the catback, but if anyone does please post up a vid.

i have just the midpipe on my car

I guess that's a caveat of having a free racepipe.. lol...

Free is good!

actually i just put the catback on leaving the racepipe off for the weekend because i have a long drive! so i will get a sound clip hopefully saturday or sunday before the racepipe goes on monday morning

^that would be awesome, thanks!

replied to your pm.

For Sema Week... I'll do $499 Shipped

11/2/09 to 11/6/09

I bought this (and picked it up at their Gaithersburg shop) and am VERY pleased. The tip length issue is completely resolved, the work quality is great, the installation was a breeze and it is THE ONLY non-custom SYSTEM THAT IS 3" DOWNPIPE-BACK!!!! (that I know of.)

I got a 1.5 PSI increase in boost by just straping on the midpipe plus catback (going from a 62mm midpipe and REV8 catback.) I could easily feel the turbo spooled more quickly.

Sweet! Got pics?

I will be ordering mine later this week. Can't wait!

nm....

I ordered online, but it did add shipping. Can I assume you're going to credit that back?

hehe awesome, first post about an already ordered part and not a lame question. =P

Sweet! Got pics?

Alas, no. The shine on the pipes was brilliant, tho. I meticulously cleaned all my fingerprints from the piping with alchohol so that I would not get discoloration in the shape of my prints.

lulz still a n00b and have plenty of time to screw it up :cwm27:

What does it sound like with the cat ON?

Sorry it took so long to get this up. My camera is screwing up. Car is completely up to temp from a 30 min drive. Don't want to get smacked for revving a cold car.

I guess I'll post a sound clip when I get my exhaust, I have the RP Supercat installed with stock exhaust. Can't wait to hear it with the TurboXS exhaust installed.

Ok not sure if I missed this somewhere but just curious....Is this a bolt on application or does it need welding? Will this fit the exhaust system of a 2010 R3? How long is this deal good for, looking to possible purchase within the next 6 months if application works?

Thanks! I definitely like the sound, and the idle is so quiet. I'll definitely have to consider this exhaust come spring.

It picks up alot more volume as you get higher up in the rev, but at idle it is pretty quiet. The RB exhaust I had before was quieter, but for me I like the sound of this better. Plus, I plan to go fi and the 3" will give better flow.

like the sound alot i think this is on my list....

this deal still going on? if so, looking to order in the next few days

ordering mine this thursday! :rock:

damn highly considering this over winter
was gonna go only midpipe but a little under double the $ i get a catback with racepipe

win win

Does this exhaust come with all hardware(gaskets, etc) needed to install to the OEM Cat and sound baffles if I find your exhaust too loud.

Does this exhaust come with all hardware(gaskets, etc) needed to install to the OEM Cat and sound baffles if I find your exhaust too loud.

NO. I asked specifically if it would bolt up to my RP Supercat and they said yes. Right now I have the straight midpipe on and will have to modify either the supercat or the pipe behind the midpipe to go from 2.5" to 3". If I mod the Supercat I can run the straight pipe at track, but I'll likely never be able to sell the Supercat later. If I mod the pipe behind the midpipe I don't make the Supercat useless to someone else, but I can't run the straight midpipe. It is VERY VERY loud with the straight pipe on. It sounds mean as f**k, lots of trash between shifts, pops, flames, etc. But its really loud, too loud for me with my HoA nazi neighbors and its pretty stinky too without a cat. The fit and finish aside from previously mentioned issues is excellent, very well made, very nicely polished, no issues mounting it and it sounds meaner than hell.

What was your top rpm's in the video, still unsure about the volume of this exhaust with the cat. I'm a really old fart and hate noise just want a deep rumble. Price is right, great shipping price quoted just unsure of the sound.
:dunno:

RX8club was down, so I called TurboXS' office.. They told me the free shipping offer has been extended until the end of the month, is this true? If so, I'm getting one! Been saving up money, and while I won't have it by tomorrow, I would be able to pay by the 30th..

Also, they said I would be charged the $65 shipping when I order, but then would receive the money back on my card later; is that true?

just ordered mine yesterday! cant wait!!:jump:

Ok expect my order this coming friday! Free shipping still going on?

Is the free shipping still on? If so, I'll take a system!

^Oh dam! the shes going to be a beast!!! :icon_tup: :worship: :mdrmed:

The free shipping deal is still rolling. You can place the order on the site and the shipping will be waved when the order is processed or you can paypal $499 to sales@turboxs.com directly with RX8 Catback - Free Shipping in the Subject Line.

Thank you!

placed my order today over the phone!

the only thing preventing me from ordering this bad boy is that from what i am reading, it is OBNOXIOUSLY loud with the midpipe. I have no problem with loud exhausts, but i would much rather pull up with a respectable exhaust note than an obnoxious farty one. I'd love to hear some better descriptions of what the full exhaust sounds like, rather than trying to depend on videos. I was also wondering what people thought of maybe adding another resonator to the midpipe...

^ I believe it's the race pipe which makes it OBNOXIOUSLY loud and it not really for street use in most places. I'll find out this spring!

Its really F**KING LOUD. It will turn heads, it will be fun for about a day as you beep it every chance, but then it gets old. Having my RP Supercat modified to fit the 3" flange of the cat back to tame it. Racepipe only for the track for me. It drones at any speed, have to be dead on barely on the throttle to tame it, almost impossible. After a week I find it VERY annoying and can't wait to get my car back with the Supercat on it to quiet it down for street use. For the track, its mean, its loud, its fun. Extremely well made, mounts up easily.

Thanks, thats what I figured, TurboXS loves them some RFL! I wish I found an exhaust deal like this when I had my MSP!

I think I might save a little and go with the RB dual resonated and REV8. I love a deep growly type exhaust note...

Thanks, received today, very quick shipping. Brokerage to Canada was outrageous but that's UPS as usual. Personally I never use UPS if I have a choice.

i placed my order over the phone yesterday and was told i would have a tracking number emailed to me. my name is timothy sherouse. any way i can my tracking info emailed or pm'ed to me? thanks

Got my car back with the RP Supercat back on, tames it quite a bit for any that were wondering. I had v-clamp flanges welded to the back end of the mid pipe and the front of the cat back and a flex joint welded in so changing the mid pipe out for the track will be easy.

just got mine in last night and gonna install it in a bit!

Did turboXS change something? The catback should have bolted right up to the supercat.

I have no idea as this is the only one I've seen, but I can tell you for sure the only place it bolts to OEM is at the header.

Our exhaust is 100% bolt on. No Flanges, welding or anything else is needed to install.

Where is my exhaust! I can't wait any longer. lol:Peace:

Only if you use the straight mid pipe. Stock cat or RP Supercat is not bolt on.

not true...... the cat back will bolt up to any cat or midpipe.
but the race pipe is only going to bolt up to a cat back with a "slip" flange.
the cat back has a loose or rotating flange that bolt to the midpipe.

HOPE THAT HELPS

I must say that I helped tbk install this exhaust this past weekend and I have done a ton of exhaust installs and this one by far was the easiest. This mid pipe and exhaust fit absolutely perfect. I recently installed and HKS Hi-power and it did not fit as well.

My AP fitment was great too! these two exhaust sound sick.

mine came in today, plan on putting it on saturday night. cant wait!

I got the XS exhaust 2 yrs. back and they threw in the 3" midpipe free although I had to bend back the small 3/8 rod hanger alittle,( I think it bent in shipping) but I love the sound. I did cut off the tip ends and added double walled exhaust tips to finish off the setup.

how much it would cost to shipp to 11373?? i wanna shoot flames....lol

Placed my order successfuly this morning! :)

Said it should be at my house next monday, I'm stoked. Now the only question is whether to install the whole thing right away, or just the catback at first. I don't mind it loud around town, but I fear freeway drone with the race pipe.. Any comments, anyone?

I got my TurboXS put on today and it a very nice piece. I like the angle of the cut on the tips that match the angle of the exhaust shrouds and that it was a thick metal on the pipe tips not the thin pipe tips of some other brands. The diameter of the tips filled in the stock shrouds fully and look very professional and mean.

I was concerned about it being too loud but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If I have my radio on level 14 I can't really hear the exhaust anymore, just a low grumble which is nice. Cruising on the freeway it wasn't bad at all, since it actually quiets down. I think it is the loudest during takeoff if you are really mashing it during the low end rpms.

Being in Vegas it's not bad since there are a lot of cars out here like Lambos and Ferrari's and every other loud car out there to compete with. I actually enjoy going slow now since it has I don't have to get on it to hear my engine growl.

Almost forgot, my car pulls a lot quicker with the full 3' in pipe all the way through. Also my wife was following me in her car and said she saw big blue and white balls of flame! Awesome exhaust and you can't beat the price.

Next time I'm in town.. I'll shoot you a PM.

if we want to retrofit our ver. 1 exhaust with the new longer tips, can we buy just the tips? if so, how much?

I am a waiting a batch of tips as we speak.

I compared my TurboXS against my buddy's AP exhaust and he liked the TurboXS, he said if he saw the new tips on it and it was on sale he would've bought it instead of the AP. I compared the loudness of both pipes and the AP was louder and droned. It actually made the the TurboXS seem kinda mild. We know it is not.:smoker:

Woo, just a follow-up: TurboXS was great to deal with over the phone, and as promised, I received the exhaust in the mail today!

Thanks for the comments about the exhaust noise, AJ, I'm excited to get this thing mounted now.... but that has to wait until I go home for Christmas break :sad: (I'm at school in SD, exhaust is home in LA......)

Does the muffler come with baffles? Can't tell from my picture and haven't read if it does for certain anywhere else.

No baffles, I believe they did in the first version but those tailpipes were no where near as nice as these are.

i got installed on wednesday. WOW this thing is loud! im not sure how ill like the race pipe. im going to have to mess with the hangers to get the tail looking right, but fit and finish is great. not sure its fully chrome nobody can see it lol. going to the track tonight, we'll see how that sounds

We still have a few of these left. We are going to do Half Price Shipping on these until the end of the year.

For Example:
Shipping to the west coast is generally $65. So we will do it for $32.50. Shipping to NYC or Florida is around $38, so we are talking $19 to your door!

Loud? Haha, try the HKS with a mid-pipe. That is LOUD.

Yeah this exhaust isn't really loud IMO but it sounds great! I'm loving the backfires and flames! Great exhaust!

Has anyone verified the 24 HP gains (TurboXS racepipe + cat-back) ??

Butt dyno notices a difference, but I've never had my car on an actual dyno to see what it actually puts down.

Mine arrived Dec 24th, installed 26th. It put a big smile in my face when I heard it. lol

I have a question, how much lighter is this exhaust compared to stock? I know it is a lot lighter but I want to know to compare it to others.

Just ordered by phone.. can't wait.

Awesome back in the office from the Holidays... Half Price Shipping is still on!

TurboXS.com I'm located in Islamabad/Pakistan, own a '06 RX-8 Type "S" (JDM) 6-speed, want to be 100% sure that your system will fit. Also, please confirm whether or not you're giving the midpipe free with your catback? A relative of mine is currently visiting Elk Grove CA and can carry back the goods to Pakistan. Friend of mine has a Dynojet in Islamabad, I could become your first customer from Pakistan and the first one to test your claim of a 24 whp gain!

website hates me apparently, seems Ill have to call in later

Ok, Good People we are here for until 3pm Eastern Time.

Happy New Year!

We will be open again on the 4th of January:beer05::smiley309

Hey Jermaine!
I'm interested in the exhaust and race pipe deal @ $499.

PM

Cheers,
Steve

well i finally got my exhaust...sounds wicked sweet but just a lil too loud for me w the racepipe...im gonna havta tone it down just a little
received the exhaust probably a week after ordering and the welds are perfect...also like the thicker, extended tips...the 2ft flames at night are a plus too:flamed:
with a high quality product like this at a good low price there's a lot of money to be made if they created a dual resonated midpipe...they would sell like candy...just a thought

Hey, how much for shipping to Australia?

Received my order tuesday and got it installed today. It all looks to be really high quality! The tips had a very smooth weld near the base and everything fit perfectly. It even came in some of the best packaging i've ever seen.
Buy this.

Will post pics soon.

Holy crap... I just got this thing installed, and I'm a bit worried...

I originally intended to have the catback installed, when my shop calls me to say it wont fit with the stock cat.. rather than pay money to have my stock exhaust removed then reinstalled, I think "okay, I'll run the full system with the race pipe..."
After they installed it and were revving it in the shop it was loud but sounded bearable from outside the car.

But then I drove it. It. Is. LOUD! I'm 18 and even with my obnoxious use, I think it's a bit much. Now, the system is fine while cruising, but ANY application of throttle brings out the loud, deep noise inside the car. I was expecting it to be fine at low speeds, and only get crazy if I revved quickly past 4k or so RPM...


Anyone care to chime in on a midpipe I can pair this with to quiet it down, or if I should just find a way to have the cat reinstalled? I really don't want to have this thing chopped up to install a 2.5" -> 3" merge and flange, but it might have to be done...

BHR midpipe, Mazsport and Racing Beat DR. Try CC inserts also.

Don't worry about it.. I thought my AP midpipe was way loud when I first got it but you get used to it.. Give it two weeks and you won't think it's so loud.

My buddies AP is louder than the turboxs.

im having the same problem man
ive had my turbo xs for bout a month now and it still drones like a mug
im bout to put my stock cat back on until i can find a good resonated midpipe
leaning more toward the mazsport or RB

some quick fixes include throwing blankets in the trunk or puting dynomat down in the car

there's a barely used dual resonated Racing Beat midpipe in the Parts For Sale area

Half price shipping... Lets do this!

Ok to everyone that has installed this I have an idea that would work for you if you think that it is too loud. Go up to Autozone and pay a few bucks to get the spray of rubberized undercoating and spray your heat shield all the way down, that should cut your sound in the car down a little bit, operative word is should.....Lot cheaper than buying a new mid pipe....

Also to everyone that has bought this exhaust could you guys please put up what year your 8 is and if you can put a picture or two up...

I think the heat from the midpipe will have an ill-effect on the rubberized undercoating. I also can't predict that the rubberized coating will cut down the noise to a notable difference. Putting a blanket or a car cover in the trunk and lining the interior with dynamat soundproofing will probably make a notable difference but of course it will require much work and money.

I posted about the fitment issues months ago, I spent over $1k so far getting my RP Supercat modified and adding a resonator to quiet it down. TurboXS are a bunch of lying douches, scroll back and read them and others arguing with me about fitment. I even PMed and asked SPECIFICALLY about the RP Supercat prior to purchase and they said yes it will fit WITH NO MODIFICATION. That is a flat out lie. $499 my ass, $1000+ so far to get what I was originally hoping for. Well made yes, honest vendor, no.

I ended up having a v-band connector welded to the rear section and to the race pipe and RP Supercat, since the tail end of the RP Supercat had to be cut off and a new flange welded to fit the TurboXS rear section anyway, makes it easier to change the mid pipes out (This added about $150 to the costs but is worth it). The RP made it a bit quieter, but still far too loud. I had a resonator welded in place on the RP and that seems to be the trick. I spent a lot of cash having parts taken off, cut, welded, put on, taken off, cut, welded, put on, etc.

PS - I have heard mating this exhaust to an RP Supercat will need a special gasket. Do I need any special parts?

Thanks,

No problem! You should have all the hardware needed to bolt the exhaust up in catback or header back configuration.

RP supercat? Is that a stock part? I should have been more specific with you stating that if it is a stock part then yes. If it is an aftermarket pipe. There is no way to tell without getting on a car here. If what we sell doesn't fit you can return it. Simple as that.

Am i a lying douche doubt it.

Thanks,

Yea, you should have asked about it then. The RP Supercat bolts to stock front and back, but not to your rear part. Different flange size. At that point I had paid to have the stock exhaust removed and the rear was on. They called me back and 3-4 guys that know RX8s said no it won't go. Hence the race pipe going on, rather than pay even more to remove and reinstall stock to sort it out.

Perhaps then you aren't a liar, but you did not try and research the question for a buyer asking a question. Had you done so I might not have bought this exhaust system. I like it, I just didn't like all the work I've had to do to get it to fit the way I want, RP Supercat for street and the racepipe for the track. In the end I got a good setup, it just cost me more than twice as much as expected. Caveat emptor, but you should try and help your customers find out real answers to their questions.

You said yes no problem, I bought. Then I had to sort the issues out. Not what I was looking for. And as a vendor you, and YOU as in all of TurboXS, should step up and work harder and not try and weasel around a mistake. As a buyer it sucks to be called into the back of a garage to see something doesn't fit and then have to decide on the spot what to do, knowing money is already invested regardless of returning the item.

Just placed an order on your website. Cant wait!

11 pcs left out of this batch. Don't miss out!

Got my exhaust put on sounds really good...Spraying the heat shield with the rubberized undercoating was a good idea, does keep the sound from coming in through the bottom, just hear the sound out the back like it should sound.....Nice unit.....For people that have R3, you will have to change the hangers that hold the muffler to lower it from the bumper....

Want this exhaust SO bad !

I have an RP supercat (3") would the exhaust fit my supercat without any midifications??? thanks!

Scroll back a few pages, the flange at the rear of the Supercat is different. I had to have this cut off and mods made to get them to mate up.

thanks for the info man that's what i was afraid of.

Sir, what is this rubberized coating you speak of? I don't have any noise because of my dual res midpipe but wouldn't mind trying this on other cars here in Vegas that don't have the DR midpipe.

woot ordered mine today. did the site work for anyone ?

something like that ?
http://www.toolorbit.com/Image/Performix/Performix-11207-6-lg.jpg

i went and bought mine directly from your store in gaithersburg sometime in summer of 2008. i love it. its a great exhaust.

definitely not 24hp though. hahah. maybe like 12hp, with the race pipe. :lol:

oooo in MD.... more appealing now, do you guys have a store front or is this just something you allow randomly.

still afraid it will sound farty and drone like crazy... Are most people running with the cat on?

i recommend running with the cat on...it drones like crazy with the racepipe...or at least get something dual resonated

PM sent

wish this was availible w/o the midpipe. i realize the deal is that it is free with catback purchase, butits more trouble than its worth to get rid of, and i have no use for it....

at the price its still cheaper then most exhaust for this car. I am happy it comes with one due to the turbo build

i recently got an ap exhaust w dual resonated mid pipe for 640 shipped

?? thats still more expensive

Is the deal with the race pipe still going on? What about free shipping? Just to clarify, $499.00 includes the muffler, mid pipe and cat back correct? Please send me a PM to discuss. Thanks!

so it does not drone with the cat on?

I just got paid and just saw this! Is this deal still going on?!

shipping was 65 dollars for me, which really isnt bad considering its 3 very large somewhat heavy pieces to ship

cusrious if this is still going on also and is it something one can stop by your MD location and just pickup there?

I'd rather not pay shipping if this is possible, you are located so close to where I work.

Yes you can. Not much of a show room as we are a Manufacturer but you can stop by if you life to purchase an exhaust.

Thinking about putting a second resonator onto my midpipe to quiet it down a little bit and kick out the little bit of drone thats there. . . bad idea? :dunno:

this would be the one, comes from racing beat and is steel and not fiberglass so it wont burn out quickly

http://www.racingbeat.com/Mazda-Performance-Parts.html?PartNumber=16435

thats exactly what i was thinking of doing, i like the sound it makes just not at the sound level it does it. Right now i have my cat back on and i think it now sounds airy in comparison

^made a thread about that and changed my mind because it just seems like a bad idea after talking to others on the forum

http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=191472

get the RB DR mid pipe

We have a few of these left. Get them now!

please pm me with compleate details i am very interested!

I would like the details as well. Im VERY interested! Is the race pipe still included?

Still going on? Will it fit the 2009s?
