Turbo XS claims around 23hp to the wheels. And a guy had it dyno'd and he put down 199.something. So it's a pretty big jump from the stock power

Check with the various forum vendors. They always have better prices.

IT IS LOUD WITH THE INCLUDED RACEPIPE AND DRONES LIKE CRAZY INSIDE THE CAR


Sorry, let me take out my earplugs....


Anyway, TurboXS sounds good but I couldn't stand how loud it was. With an RB midpipe it would probably sound killer, though.

HAHA nah it is not that loud. You guys do not know what loud is. Now if it gets to where it sounds like straight headers then yea thats loud. Hell I own a 88 chevy with duals thats a lot louder this this little exhaust.

Anyone have sound clips of that setup? I'm gonna go looking (again) on youtube to help me with my decision. And to those who chimed in, thanks for the help!

I may end up with a BHR + HKS combo since I heard the BHR midpipe since I've heard great things about it as well. We will see.
So I am still doing all my research so please forgive me, but I am in the same boat as vincephan... I am in SoCal as well and dont want to be begging for a ticket from Hwy Patrol. I dont care about emissions as I have that part covered... I am looking for the best performance in a full header back system, without shattering old people dentures as I pass by. From what I recall reading in other threads the Racing Beat system would fit these needs??

If you're looking for performance over looks, the Race Exhaust System from RB will do the job. It's very lightweight with a power increase, but only has one tip that faces the ground. From what I hear it's not that loud either.

Should be loud as i have seen those designs before... But seeing as it said it is legal... it could have been toned down...

from the pics... it is cat delete?

Please no bashing.. but I've been trying to read nearly 30 pages of comments and if anyone can just answer my question:

I narrowed down my search to Exotic Speed or Agency Power but ONLY the cat-back, I'm planning on keeping my original Catalyzer for the simple reason I dont want the cops on me anymore than they already are!
Does anyone have experience with them and which is deeper in note and less raspy??
any help would be appreciated.

PS - Youtube has helped but audio on those vids BLOW

no rasp with my exoticspeed. Since your sticking with just cat-back, you shouldn't have too many problems with rasp whichever one you get.

This is probably a stupid question, but what is the difference between the exoticspeed r1-t and the s1-t?

The design of the piping is completely different which would affect the tone. The S1 is a more traditional style.

Check their website they have tons of options.

Yea I could tell the difference a bit. The r1 t seems less raspy or something.. Just trying to decide if it's worth the exta $200
