Yeah I know not another exhaust thread. Well after countless searches on the boards and reaserching all the available exhaust systems I have picked out two different TBE's.
1.) New version Helix cat-back, downpipe, and test pipe- $760
2.) Greddy 80mm titanium cat-back with RS-R 80mm stainless downpipe-$1,230

My IX is still bone stock and I'm about to do a ecutek flash to go along with the tbe. I want to keep the mods simple and enjoy each stage of mods stage by stage. From what I have gathered the greddy combo makes more power and sounds great but is it worth the $500+ difference in price v.s the helix TBE? The helix is a perfect fit but what about the greddy combo? My main concern is I want my exhaust to last and not fall apart after a few years so how is the quality on both these TBE's? Please don't suggest another tbe cause those are the ones I like. As far as pipe diameter, sound, muffler style these are the only exhaust that fit my needs. Thanks in advance

 

holy crap 1,230 for a TBE i love name brands but thats just crazy. Check out helix defintily that and tanabe G blue real nice exhaust good price. I wouls say A'pexi but the fitment on the 9 to me is not good its a great exhaust for the 8, check out Espelir,HKS,RnR, Buschur and megan.

 

We share the same ideas also I have got IX and I think the first mod is exhaust... and ecutek..etc... if I were you go with Greddy! greddy is expensive but exellent ! fitment, performance etc... also I'm thinking to buy hks ti because it's 75 mm . I dont like noise ! greddy ti is very loud I think ....

 

I was leaning towards the greddy myself since its a 80mm diameter. I don't mind a loud exhaust as long as it sounds good. I was due to get a ecutek flash but I thought it would be a waste on a stock car, thats why I want to add a tbe before I get tuned.

 

I have the Turbo Xs on my 8 and amother guy used the same one on his 9. Fitment was fine sound is great. It cost me $900 for everything with the test pipe I love it everytime I start the car and drive it. Just another idea for you nut I've heard plenty of good things about the Helix.

 

Love my Greddy. Sounds sooo mean.

 

If you get the Helix you will wake the dead. That is the loudest exhaust ive heard on an evo. +1 for the TXS.

 

greddy is fine but 80 mm ... I'm afraid of it's sound... how about hks carbon ti 75mm .. .but power gain less than greddy????

 

RnR Racing: $700 3 inch turboback with O2 eliminator kit...cant beat that.

 

Helix or buschur : )

 

I plan on going with the AMS TBE once I save up.... I have heard all good things about this exhaust system, and plus there shop is local to me....
