I was looking into purchasing the turbo xs turbo back. Has anyone used this product, and is there a good increase in power. Also is the sound very loud, im looking for some sound but not anything to crazy. If the turbo xs is not good can you suggest something else.

Yes and yes and yes and no (i,e, it is good).

If you want quiet and performance, go with the Borla Hush

So there is a good increase in power, and he sound is loud? Is the borla hush as good as the turbo xs or about the same

You're really talking peanuts in terms of difference of performance here. This isn't some 1.6L NA Honda Civic where ever whp is preciously stands on its own. You also have trade offs. I don't like to keep the police occupied, so I go with the stealthier look and sound, at surely no perceptable cost in power, if any at all.

I have a TXS DP and cat pipe mated to a custom intermediate pipe and Stromung axle back (PITA to mate) and I love it. I did a reflash and upipe at the same time so I can’t say how much the exhaust by its self increased power.

I have heard the TXS TBE isn’t very loud as long as you don’t get the FRL (Real F'in Loud) version. One thing to remember is that the TXS DP/catted midpipe combo is longer than most so you will need to do some customizing to mate it to other cat backs. If you don’t mind going catless you can buy the cat back adaptor which is supposed to mate to most aftermarket CB's.

BTW, you could keep the oe axle back and bolt it up to a TXS stealth back. Here's a good place to see all of your options http://www.worldoneperformance.com/c...e.com/main.htm.

The Hush is a cat back. FYI the upipe is before the turbo. the DP connects to the mid pipe which connects to the cat back. Here's a diagram https://www.i-club.com/forums/attach...chmentid=26009

Helix DP will work and MPJ sells a Helix/Hush combo http://www.mpjperformance.com/main.html.

Are you planning on going catless or do you want to run a high flow cat?

wrxed1266

I would prefer a high flow cat i dont want to much noise

The Helix Catted Downpipe & Borla Hush Exhaust (w/ 3" Adapter) Combo will cost you $929 at MPJ. Not a bad price for a catted TBE.
