alrite, so i jus put my new turboxs exhaust on but idk if its really for me.
it drones like a mug and i tried putting blankets n the trunk but it didnt help much
nebody no if there's somethin you can do to quiet drone without giving up horsepower???
i got the racepipe too...so no cat or resonator that's y its soo loud and droney but if i put the old pipe back on ill havta give up hp
also has neone heard if the new turboxs will melt shrouds...used to be a problem with the old ones but, i heard its been fixed...tips are now thicker, extended, and slash cut

 

midpipe and stock exhaust is probably gonna be the quietest... exhaust systems for the 8 dont get you much power, getting rid of the cat would most likely give you a better power gain

 

so u think i should put the old pipe bak on...i was jus worried id lose hp...well i no i will

 

no just mate up the midpide (cat delete) to the stock exhaust, youll probably gain more power with that than you will with the cat + turboxs exhaust

 

o ok...prolly still lose a lil bit of hp compared to the racepipe tho...o well cant hav everything
hav u heard nething bout if the new turboxs will melt shrouds?
i no with the racepipe it will shoot 2ft flames out the tips

 

Holy grammar!

 

well i failed english...nah...i just txt too much

 

^thats a sad story....just sad

 

does the new turbo xs catback come with the race pipe like the old ones did ?

 

Yes it comes with the racepipe. I have this exhaust and mated it with my Mazsport Dual Res Midpipe and I don't have any drone and I have all the HP. The new one doesn't melt shrouds.

 

good to know...im gonna have to do something about the drone on mine tho
maybe a cat delete on the stock pipe...its just too loud with the new racepipe but i hate to lose the hp

 

Ever think about selling your XS mid-pipe and purchasing a dual resonated one? Racing Beat and Agency Power both have one. But I think people said the AP is still loud. Not sure about the RB. There should be threads on both.

yea but thats another $300 i prolly couldnt get but $125 for mine
and i dont know if the new midpipe will fit with the turbo xs exhaust...ive heard people hav had problems with fitment with some pipes + turbo xs

 

grammar fail... do what dozer said.. keep and put back on the stock exhaust (cat-back) because the turboxs doesn't provide much gain if any at all and keep the turbo xs midpipe if the noise isn't for you. Then sell your turbo xs catback and make most of your money back..

sooo therefore you keep your results having a midpipe and get rid of the raspy sound you dislike.

/thread close

 

This is a stretch and if you are willing, is take the turboxs midpipe and make your own dual resonated midpipe out of it.

Go to your local exhaust shop and see if you can purchase one/two canisters and if the will weld it on for you were it would fit underneath your car.

 

I had the old turboxs and racepipe and it was way to load for me. Went back to a stock cat and then to a Mazsport midpipe. It was nice with the stock cat, with the midpipe it sounded exotic and the droning was gone.

 

how far is the new exhaust in the shrouds i had to extend mine out like 3 inches so the drone would stop those couple inches are like life and death literally once i pulled them out it got quite at all speeds in my ears

 

I think its so drony because of the midpipe tho...and i like the catback

 

thought bout that but i cant find a resonator beefy enough that didnt cost as much as the whole midpipe

 

thats what im planning on doing...the tubroxs racepipe is way to loud tho...drones like a mug
leaning towards the mazsport - (hard to find) or RB midpipe - (lil to high)...o well cant have everything
probably just put the stock cat back on til i get a new midpipe

 

PM Brice at fluid motorsports he maybe able to give you some recommendations on some resonators.

 

will do thanks for the advice

Does the catback fit with the stock cat? My shop couldn't get it to fit, so I "had" to install the cat.. Way too loud now.

 

it fit fine before...i had it that way for about the first week
the catback will fit with most midpipes but the turboxs midpipe will only fit with the turboxs catback
