2. as far as ive seen the resonator on the turboxs midpipe is pretty big compared to the others...

beers :beer:


really,

please get me a photo of that resonator.. how new is it?

as the original turbo xs resonator was a big cup of fail..

you got new stuff? have heard rumor of it?

btw, straight pipe to the stock exhaust= still somewhat quiet.. just saying.

beers :beer:

LOL!


i sold the ap midpipe because it was stupid loud.
one of the loudest out there

this is of course if you don't cheap out and and buy a full exhaust system...

i can't say how it sounds on a stock muffler....didn't think many ppl kept those :)

Nice and big...

btw..the agency power pic u posted is an old design..doesn't count :P

i have the turboxs mated up to my stockie and IMHO the thing is really quiet up to about 4k rpms, thats when it kicks in

dozer 05-30-2009 01:26 AM

again im not gonna try to argue the fact, ive had mine on for more than 5 months and i have absolutely no complaints, its sounds just as quiet as stock except for the smell...so its up to the OP on what he wants to do

NoOdLe BoY 05-30-2009 01:27 AM

too bad im setting up for stx or else id get the turbo xs

dozer 05-30-2009 01:29 AM

i havent tracked nor have i autoxed, but i can honestly say for daily use the turboxs is great...

dozer 05-30-2009 01:33 AM

i have the rp supercat connected to the agency power catback.. and it's stupid loud. almost gave my old neighbors a heart attack

ZOOMNRX8 06-02-2009 05:47 PM

it looks like a pre silencer and then the cat, so the resonator won't disrupt the braces

fastlaneracing 06-03-2009 12:34 AM

My ExcoticSpeed without cat is also quiet.
