wholly mother FUCK!!

i knew the trubo xs exhaust plus midpipe were loud... but i just installed it today and wtf.. its rediculous, with silencers can be ok when i get used to it, but without silencers.. unbeleivable...

any ideas or comments.. how do i keep a low profile with this.. is it possible??

 

its big and empty so its loud. put the cat back on or silencers

 

Its really loud in the beginning but it seems to me that it has quieted down after some miles or maybe its just my ear durms popped haha- i love it btw

 

MAKE sure the noise isnt coming from the side or the car, if it is then you gotta an exhaust leak...i got the turbxs on too, when it was leaking that thing was LOUD, i put a gasket in and its pretty quiet, when coming out the back end on a stock exhaust

 

heh - 'loud'

personally, i think the turbo xs is easier on the ears than say a midpipe + hks single side...(granted i still love the sound of the hks)

 

Mine has been on for a while now but not knowing a real comparision to go by, it sounds great, not extreme as others would post it as being. of course my aftermarket BBQ resonators can seem loud when installed...

 

anybody know if i can put the stock cat back on, will it fit with the new exhaust???

i think its either leaking or loose somewhere.. it doesnt sound normal

 

stock will not go back with TXs midpipe,cause of the flange difference and length

 

the stock cat will fit.....you just cant use the txs midpipe with the oem catback

 

sweet, i think ill do that.. and heres the video, with flames.. you can hear the sound.. see if its too loud http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kJ7gzzEcLE

 

Same experience here... my midpipe sounded insanely loud at first, but its actually reasonably quiet when its not at WOT, and even at WOT it doesn't sound like I'm attacking a metal shed with a band-saw to me anymore.

 

WOT= wide open throttle

 

i have the turbo xs to but mine has a presilencer on it(it is mysql's old exhaust ) and i have the catless midpipe and it is insanly loud at first but now i ether go used to it or something, cause now it is alot less loud than it used to be. but i love the sound

 

aside from noise, are there any downsides to the leak? does it mess the exhaust flow up?

 

i love my exhaust combo.

 

I think it sounds Perfect. can't wait to get Mine

 

i want that grill

 

is turbo xs louder than borla or greddy SE ?

 

^Yes it is. Turbo XS is just like AP Exhaust. I will soon have you my AP. Soon...

 

I have mine with the cat on.... its still on the loud side, but not bad with the silencers in. Be sure to see about extending the tips before you melt your rear end!

 

Depending on the size and shape of what's causing the leak, it can decrease flow, but it will vary depending on the severity. Say, if the joint between two pipes is misaligned, there would be a bend (which will contribute to resistance) and turbulence caused by the vacuum left behind when the exhaust is going through the leak.

 

yea im hoping i can put the stock cat back in, too bad the bolts broke while taking it out, i have to get new bolts.

the reason why i think it leaks is that sometimes i hear a much louder sound than normal..

and the guy i got the exhaust from said he never had a problem with melting the bumper.. but anybody know where to get some nice looking tips? preferably burned tips something like this

 

the turboxs WILL fit the stock exhaust, i have it on mine...

its only loud with the exhaust leak TRUST ME, i got a gasket and its pretty quiet, it opens up and makes the car louder at around 4krpm

 

I just ordered a foot of stainless tube (3") and had them extend the pipe out before the tips, but most good exhaust shops should have some or at least be able to order what you need.

I have heard some did not have bumber issues as well, but I noticed mine start to get a little discolored and starting to melt after a long trip (~2 1/2 hours), so I got it fixed right after that.

 

Turbo XS isnt really that loud, you just have to let it burn a bit. After a while it wont be as loud. And hey man its a rotary its supposed to be loud plus you have 0 restrictions with the Turbo XS so its going to be louder than anything else. If it bothers you too much just put a resonator in.

As far as the melting the shrouds, they will melt if it gets hot enough. Just extend them out and voila.

here is what mine sounded like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7c7y5nlrWU

after going turbo it is quieter
