From: 12 o'clock on the Beltway.
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.

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

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.

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.

This exhaust is 100% bolt on even on your 2010 model. I will extend the free shipping offer until I get back from Vegas (11/14/09).

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 **** 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.

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?
