Yes, the exhaust pipe does sit lower. I'm estimating it 3 inches from the ground where it connects to the y-section of the muffler. I'm also dropped on MS springs.

Check this thread to see how much of an improvement this exhaust/midpipe added to my Greddy turbo kit.
Definitely recommend it, especially if your turboed.

can anyone get another vid of this exhaust? My a few revs and a drive off? That dyno video is great, but I was wondering if there was another one that maybe gave a better idea of what it would sound like on an everyday basis. Oh yeah, this request is for non turbo cars too, as I would imagine a turbo car would be a lot quieter.

I am glad you like it, we figured it would be a nice upgrade for the turbo folks.

just thought i'd weigh in here...I took my car to PFsupercars today to have it dyno'd. the base run was with the turboxs system on and I pulled 194hp on the dynojet. Can't compare it to stock but i dont think that my car would have gotten those numbers without the mods. Anyway after tuning i got around 205 on the dynojet...I think nathan used a dynapak so i thought i'd show the difference. I'll have the dyno sheets to post soon enough if anyone wants to see them or thinks they're relevant

I was having pfsupercars tune my Cz since i have no clue how to do it. It's the upgraded version with emanage glod(idk if we tuned in stage 1 or 2 we couldnt figure out the difference so any insight would be nice). So all together I have the revi+duct,cz,TXS race pipe and TXS muffler.

So you gained 10hp more from tuning. Would be nice if you could get another pull on the dynopak and see your total gain from stock. (25hp gain from exhaust/testpipe and 10hp gain from tuning.. so it should show +35hp gain from stock). Good numbers there.

actually....one the dynopak which nathan used my car came in at 171 with the revi+duct. then it came in at PEAK(this is max there is also a conservative number)) 34 hp. On PFS dynojet it came in at base with 194 base and 204 max so I belive it this were all done on the same day on the same dyno with the exact same mods it would actually show more of a hp increase. The point is i think if everything were to be installed on the same day and same dyno and then tuned I believe would see some higher numbers. So all together I'm taking it as between 204-205whp regardless of the dyno used which I'm pretty happy about for a N/A car with some pretty basic mods. Now just to get the damn cel cleared.......

EDIT: conservative gain from TXS race pipe + exhaust = 21whp
High end with TXS system= 34whp

Thanks!
Thinking the same thing, will this fit the GReddy SP2?

Check the link below for a video of my TurboXS exhaust/midpipe under normal driving, WOT, revving, and a few drive-bys. This is with the Greddy turbo and without the silencers installed. In-car video was done with the windows down.

TurboXS video

The sound should be louder in a NA car.

Here's a picture of my old Borla and the other is the turboXS. TurboXS does hang alittle lower.
