Stock Cat to Turbo XS
Today I had a flooded rex, was a pita to start it up, being the only one with no battery charger and no one to help me push start, anyway I was late for work and after a couple of hours trying it finally started, let it warm up like always and head my way, I notice immediately the rough idle and basically she didn't wanted go above 6k.
I just came back from work and idle seems to be a little better but I didn't wanted to try and rev her more than 5k, for me everything is pointing to a nearly clogged cat, has new plugs, coils and plugs cables got them at least 6 months ago, I have access to a new Turbo XS pipe to replace the cat, but I just wanted get opinions on that pipe first.
Btw this is a 05 MT with 70,XXX miles only mod GReddy Cat-back, I never had a problem revving her to 9k since today, I'm guessing I shot the cat after all of those cranks...
Thank you

Turbo XS is extremely high quality.. You'd be making a good decision, however I've only had experience with full exhaust system with them. I personally prefer Racing beat.. Check my vid here to see what the 8 "should" sound like.

Very nice ride there CJ sounds beautiful, my rex already have the Greddy SP2 catback and after a long search here I found out there are some fitness issues with the XS pipe and is required cutting and rewelding, I guess I'll just try and buy the resonated pipe by RB.
Yeah Paimon.. I'd rather buy used quality, rather than new cheap and unknown...
thanks for the input.
