Please explain, it sounds like you are just tossing hate at something you have 0 personal exp with.

I'm not protecting anything; I just hate it when people that know nothing about a product bashes it when they have 0 proof.

Let’s see what you have offered:
The exhaust is crap, it does not make much power and the tips are not rice enough for me. Why? Because I say so, not because I own it or have personal exp with it.

What have I offered:
Testimony from respected members that have dyno’ed the exhaust.

You keep coming back because you got punked around this whole thread, that is what is sad...

but hey everyone needs a pet, it is nice to know you are mine.

The difference is, I have never ever (in my 2,946+) posts claimed to have gotten any significant hp gains from my catback exhaust. Why? Because I know better, because those of us who have been around long enough are aware of the hp limitations of this vehicle, of the Renisis, and because simply put: a catback exhaust is not a the secret formula for adding 25+ hp. Hmm, where's RG when I need him?

So in other words, you do not have one.

Point being who cares. If some poeple are happy with it, so be it. Others are not happy, replace it. Sounds like every other product on the market today. Some like it, some dont.
I mentioned the tips not being long enough a while back and got jumped on as well.

Reason I mentioned it, was if TurboXS fixed this I could become a customer...

I could do it myself, but feel if they don't improve what they have made then they keep making an inferior product (because of the damage it can cause).

Why wouldn't a company want to improve the design?

NO, I would NEVER put this puice of junk on my car. Why would I buy a catback that is obviously poorly designed for the North American RX-8 Market. Let me explain (once again)

-The tips are too short. Many members have already confirmed this. Had they taken time to properly measure them for our cars, I wouldn't be knocking their engineering so much, but they didn't so I will continue to point this out.

- Their R&D is obviously severely lacking. Why would you design a catback that (according to you) doesn't go well with a stock Cat. Most forum members here buy catbacks so they don't have to deal with swapping out a cat. Had Turbo XS done their homework, they would have known that and then (again, according to you) it wouldn't be melting shrouds.

Digital D,

By any chance do you have an austrailian bumper?
(at least I think its austrailia) but the turboxs exhaust catback was designed to the Austrailian rx8 (again, not 100% if its austrailias) and their bumper is shorter than the rest of our rx8's and therefore the exhaust sticks out like a normal exhaust.

Maybe youve been right this whole time, who knows... but it could all be for that one reason... your rear bumper is diffrent than ours.

put that in your back pocket.

And you would know it is junk how? Obviously you have no experience with it so how can you judge something you have not tried and tested? Please offer the name of a better brand that is 3 inch all the way through...

Have you forgotten how to read? I already mentioned to you that there are SEVERAL people out here in SoCal who participate in the monthly meets (malibu run, LAX meet, SB run) whose cars I have seen IN PERSON who have this exhaust.
So since I've seen the exhaust, heard the exhaust, and ridden IN the car with the exhaust, by your definition, I still have "no experience"?
Wow, someone hand this guy the noob of the month award.

Look brain damage, why don't you do a baseline dyno of your car and one after installation. Don't base your gains upon what others have gotten. Every car is different if you didn't know. And seriosuly stop putting other words in our mouths. You seriously have no clue don't you ?!??

If the genius engineers at HKS, Racing Beat, Greddy, and RE Amemiya couldn't figure it out with their exhausts, you really think Turbo XS would have gotten it? I highly doubt that..Think my pet!

Yeah, I hear you supercharge. They should address the tips, doesn't make much sense not to. If you have a product that, obviously, the masses feel would benefit from change, then why not improve it.

Honestly it doesnt bother me all that much though. Yeah, ill have to shell out some extra cash, but hey at least my tips will be different compared to all the other RX-8's with cat-backs, and as Bob Barker would say, " The price is right".

Don't trip, back peddling can be hazardous. You are calling other users that have dyno’ed the exhaust liars plain and simple.

You can not have it both ways, either the results they got are true or they are not. Which is it?

hahah!!! you still didn't answer any of my questions brain damage. Stop basing your shyt on what others have. If they got those numbers then great! That doesn't mean you will get them. And talk about back peddling and getting pwned on everyone of your responses. YOu seriously need to go back to school or read up more on this forum. Did turbo xs pay you to respond to me and jedi or something? Cause if they did, they chose a horrible person to back up or represent their company.

So you believe two systems cut from the same cloth will not get close to the same results? Do you know how stupid that sounds? What kinda a variance could there be; 5%?

I was unaware a "school" existed for this forum, what kind of juvenile ghetto term is that?

Now answer my question do you think they got those results or are they liars? It is a very simple question.

ok brain damage, for the millionth time..i never even mentioned polaks name or whoever else owned the exhaust. So therefore I never called them liars, you're the one that made it sound like i did so quit with the antagonizing already. Now answer me and stop diverting the questions. Did you or did you not do a baseline dyno of your car and one after? And what if they actually did get those numbers, you really think you or others on this forum that have the exhaust got those numbers as well? Are we talking about crank hp or whp??
