Yeah, I've never seen flames come out my exhaust either.

i have the OEM cat pipe with the cat gutted out and the MS cat-back, i backfire strong enough that you can feel it pop in the seats

I too would be interested in finding out the types of tips.. they look really. I may just have them extend out the tips already on it though, Im cheap like that

mysql

my tips are dual walled stainless steel. I think they're SLP.

JOLIET WANKEL

just did a quick google search again. this time for 'SLP EXHAUST TIPS' and found only ones with 2.5 inch inlets. Don't we need ones with 3 inch inlets for the turboxs catback? I've found tips with 3 inch inlets in the past but I really like the way the SLP's look. Where do I find them? I found these that have a 3 inch inlet but they say 'for trucks'. They look like they'd work though.

On second thought, I don't think yours are 12 inches long like these. How long are yours on your car MYSQL?

those are like mine they were as long as my arm but I cut them down. It's not a simple hack and weld job ither takes quite a bit of thinking and some really damn precise measureing and cutting PM me if you want details. Here's a pic after

I was going to buy this exhaust 2.....Thanks to this thread -- I wont!

Musker

Dude this thread is a reason to buy the exhaust O_o

ndhoffma

Guess it could also be a reason not to..... By the time I paid to have the tips extended, it wasn't quite as cheap, but it still ended up cheap compared to most other exhausts.

I still love the exhaust though and would recommend it for the price (if you want loud), so long as you get the tips changed or extended out

on top of that it's still the only true 3" exhaust i know of.

JOLIET WANKEL

What about Agency Power's? That's 3-inch.

And the Borla exhaust. And the RX8store exhaust. Beyond those three there are a few more that are true 3" piped catbacks.

Mr.&Mrs.Magic

From my understanding all the other exhaust have bends and cuts that are smaller than 3" but what do I know.

$500 is still to much for catback, (a length of pipe and a muffler(s)?) mustang guys get dual exhaust, h pipe, mufflers for less than $500. My whole exhaust turbo-back(downpipe, test pipe, catback) on an eclipse was $400

mysql

$500 is what it costs from the header back. You get basically what you describe with the turboxs.

newguy

^ahh i see thanks, not too bad then.

jeeazzus!!! know I know why this exhaust is so cheap. Got the race pipe in yeasterday after 2 mths of waiting put it on today and tomorrow it will come off. I use to think it sounded pretty good but with the race pipe it sounds like crap and it's crazy loud!!!

mysql

it's not bad on a turbo. though still on the loud side.

for NA you really need a premuffler somewhere like mine (CC Insert). The one I have is straight through design but lowers the sound.

In terms of build quality, the turboxs is really well made. It's not a "cheap" exhaust, the cost is low however. They used to sell the catback for $700 and the midpipe for $300 like everyone else does.

I like it, others don't like it because of the sound. I find it very useful for my Turbo setup, comparing it to the borla the Borla sounds better but from my exp. the Agency is more free flowing. One suggestion would be to get gaskets for the agency system they don't come with them from Agency.

I wanted to always try the Tanabe System but it is rather pricey.

sound clips for the turboxs the first video is really for the bhr flywheel but it the only video i have with sound for the stock gutted cat back system

this is the sound with gutted cat and cat back turboxs system

the problem is you changed the tips out.

the turbo xs with the race pipe is pretty bearable as long as you have the silencers in. i commute 30 miles 1 way to class, with the silencers crusing at 80mph is no problem. you can hold conversations, listen to music, etc.

without the silencers other cars can hear the drone...

i just left my exhaust shrouds off. hey.. its weight savings too.

yes yes tips must be refabed to fit!!. But will that trick the ecu into thinking I have a 2" exhaust insted of 3" which equals waist of money?
