Request: TurboXS updated review and exhuast Q's

I'm getting real close to buying an exhaust, I am planning on going the TXS TBE since it is so inexpensive. I've been searching for a more recent review from someone who has been running it for awhile.


I'm new to turbo cars and have been lurking around for the last couple years trying to absorb as much info but I have a few questions about the exhaust components:

- If I go with catback from Vendor A, test pipe from Vendor B, and O2 (or) down pipe from Vendor C will it all bolt up right? I'm assuming each vendor builds their part to interface with the stock components but I'm not sure.

-Should I wrap the down pipe with header wrap? Ceramic coating seems expensive and I'm not sure if one vendors ceramic is the same as another.

- How hard is it to install with jack stands and a floor jack?

Thanks in advance

I have ran and sold a lot of TXS products in the past without an issue. The TXS system will bolt up with any downpipe on the market along with any cat-pipe on the market. All the parts are designed to work with OEM compenents (Say you put in a downpipe and leave stock b-pipe back, it will work and vice versa)

I have never had any complaints from my customers with TXS products. They all fit well and they all sound pretty good.

If your looking for a good deal let me know, I can hook you up with a complete turboback if that is what your looking for. Just shoot me a pm!

Cheers,
Adam

I've been running my Turbo XS turbo-back since April and love it. It fits like a glove and sounds/performs great.

I saw your thread and even though i don't own an X i have CBE on my 09 Ralliart. I love how it sounds and it fits great. i just ordered the test pipe as well so we'll see how it all bolts up and sounds then.

Doesn't replace the o2 housing. The TBE from TXS bolts onto the factory o2 housing.

Anyone know how much the Turbo XS CBE weighs? I tried contacting them a few times and they never responded to my question.
