TurboXS RX-8 Catback Exhaust w/ Free Racepipe $499
#203
Installed mine yesterday with factory cat, love the sound at low RPM's but find it drones a bit higher up.
Hopefully it will settle down in a couple of weeks as it gets more seasoned. This thing must make one hell of a racket with the mid-pipe on, this more that loud enough for an old fart like me.
Anyone want to buy the mid-pipe, no use to me.

Hey man how much would you sell the mid-pipe for?

Hey guys i'm new to this site, I recently purchased the turbo xs exhaust system for my 8. I'm trying to get a good idea of how it sounds with the factory cat. Is it still noticeably louder? does it sound good? thank you for any response..

I have ran this exhaust with the race pipe and for me its too loud but it does have a little extra power so I like it for the track. For the street I picked up a second racepipe and installed a 100 CPI cat. Not only am i killing fewer trees, but the sound is much more tame. I used the davesport cat which is ionly about $100 thttp://www.davesport.com/cgi-bin/davesport/DCAT100.html

Bump for excellent customer service, Thanks Jermaine and Stephanie! you folks rock!.
Finally got my exhaust system this past Tuesday and installed the same day. got some pics and videos (Sorry no racing was involved), And a sound clip=
Other than that I truly love the sound of this exhaust. The sound is just like how I thought it would be as a matter of fact better. It gets loud if you really step on the gas but can also be creep-ed soft sounding at very low rpms This is my first dual exhaust owned and I love how the sound of the dual exhaust have that echo sound of the rotary engine. It makes the car sound like a true rotary. It sets off car alarms when driving by cars. The smell of exhaust fumes without the cat is not that bad only while at idle. I absolutely admire the perfect welds on the pipes. everything fit perfect other than having to get new bolts for the exhaust to mid pipe. The stainless steel mirror finish is absolutely outstanding, The long exhaust tips fit the rear bumper perfect. It is defiantly a head turner. I would recommend this TurboXS exhaust for those looking for a nice sounding exhaust; reasonable price and spectacular customer service!
My little video I made filming some of the work of removing the old muffler it is kinda lame but you can watch it if you like=

And also another soundclip of normal driving with one clip while I was on the highway=

I called customer service a few days ago. They told me the deal will be going on all summer, however, they told me that they're completely out of stock and won't be back in stock until MID SEPTEMBER. That made me pretty angry.
The customer service rep also told me that around September/October they'll be releasing a dual resonated midpipe to replace the racepipe to help quiet down the exhaust. I guess it didn't take them too long to realize it's one of the loudest ones on the 8!
But man, mid-September... I dunno if I can wait that long. Thinking of trying to buy a used Greddy SP2 instead. Damn...
