Hey guys wondering of those that own the turboxs downpipe run a wideband 02 sensor in the bung that came on the downpipe. I was wanting to know if im going to have to weld a new bung for my aem WB. Or if i can use the one that is already welded on there. Right now i have a bolt thats plugging the hole but if i can remember right it looked bigger than the 02 sensor on my wideband gauge i got today. Thanks in advance

O2 sensors are a universal size. Your wideband will work fine in the TurboXS downpipe.

I really like the location they put in bung on. It makes it very easy to take it in and out.

 

good deal then i just didnt want to have to weld a new bung in it i figured it would work just thought i would get some feedback on here before i went into the install!!

 

What good is a nice O2 bung location if it is the WORST FITTING DOWNPIPE IN THE EVO MARKET?

 

they aren't that bad, especially on an 03, 05+ there are definitely issues...

 

It sure fits a hell of a lot better then many of the other downpipes out there.

I have never had a fitment issue with them and I have sold a ton of these systems.

Maybe you can say why you think this instead of just spouting of that something sucks. It would be far more productive.

 

It sure shows in your feedback.

A simple search would just uncover the tip of the iceberg as to why this is the worst DP on the market.

Does not clear crossmembers.

Donut gasket does not fit tubular O2 housings.

Floating flange and donut gasket leak in a substantial % of installations.

Requires proprietary hardware, if you lose or break a bolt you are screwed. If you burn out a TXS donut gasket, you are screwed.

Stock donut gasket will not fit.

 

Not sure what the feedback means. But 100% off our customers who left feedback were satisfied. 90% of our business is done off forums or through our site not showing. The little number under your name has little to do with how the business is run just how much sales you do over the forums.

Included with the kit are spacers for the tie bars. Alot of companys include them which makes for a straighter routing for more power. If you do not use these it will not fit.

Yes modification is required to the donut gasket to make it fit perfect. Not everything is 100% compatible. This has nothing to do with quality more just design.

All you have to do is call a TXS dealer like me and get a new one. I think I sell them cheaper then the OEM one from the dealer.

I have never had one leak but with any system there is error for leaks. If installed correctly it will not leak.

 

i must say i dont have many complaints with mine. Although it was a tight fit for the donut gasket on my ebay 02 it still fit but i also believe that the outlet on the 02 housing was just a tad bit bigger than the stock also.

 

i can't see the photo... I just got a perrin dp and a plx m300 wb... what's a good position to weld the o2 bung on the dp?

 

I am pretty sure TTP really hates that DP. He told me the same thing, and I have seen him repeatedly postup his dislikes for it. I am sure he has his reasons. If he has had bad luck with them due to deisgn/quality issues its understandable why he dislikes them. If i have bad luck with something i will usually never use it again and try to disuade others. BUT, Rallysport Direct is also right in addressing all the complaints. Their donut gasket doesnt fit right over TTP's 02 housing, BUT a little tapping with a mallet and problem solved. It would suck if you break a bolt but I am not sure you are screwed either. Turbo XS donuts are $10 bucks from Turbo XS when I called yesturday, which is more then likely cheaper then OEM. I dont have any problems with it. Fitment is tight, but clears(just clears) the TCASE and oil pan. If you use the provided spacers, it clears the front bars also

 

Very true. I don't have a problem with peoples opinions on parts I just like to know why so the issue can either be addressed by the manufacturer or somehow taken care of if the need is there.

If a person has just had a bad experience it is very hard to change their look on the piece.

I know after having a helix downpipe that didn't fit well I was turned off to the brand but I know there are hundreds of helix pipes that fit perfect.

Me and TTP get into it ever once in a while but it is nothing personal, sometimes it is fun to go back and forth with him. Although yesterday was not one of them

 

I like my TurboXS downpipe, i dont have a tubular o2 housing, and i dont think that every manufacturer needs to take into account every aftermarket part you can buy. I like mine, it fits fine, and it makes powa.

Now, if i could say the same about my forge wga that i got from you, didnt make any difference at all, in fact, does any one want to buy mine?

 

When installed properly they work great. It sounds like you do not have the correct preload set from a poor installation. If you needed assistance installing it, the door is open at both TTP and ForgeMotorsports (Mike@Forge) to walk you through the proper installation.

In fact they are the best upgrade available with the EVO IX 20gLT.

Since they are on NATIONAL backorder, due to demand, it would go quick if you decided to part with it.
