Turbo XS...Why so cheap?

I've been doing some research on what catback I'm gonna go with on my new GSR and I was just wondering if anyone knew why Turbo XS products are way cheaper than almost any other brand? I mean I'm all about a good deal, who isn't? But some things make me skeptical... I found a full turbo back exhaust shipped cheaper than some cat backs not shipped. Is it quality? longevity? good sourcing? Anyhow if anyone knows, please inform me.

Hey that's awesome to know guys! And by no means was I trying to insult the company and sound like they don't have quality products, what I meant by "cheap" was more the actual pricing... and more specifically exhaust products. I just noticed they have great deals.

I used all Turbo XS stuff on my 05 WRX, it never skipped a beat. I'd use them again.

I've been running with their hfc and catback for over a year and love it. I get compliments on the sound. It's loud enough to get noticed, but quiet enough to not get on your nerves. I just wish their intercooler was cheap compared to the value of the exhaust.

I ran their full turbo kit on my civic hatch and that b18 made some great power. That was years ago too.

Same here. I'm running their catback and it's a quality piece, it has a nice mellow tone but aggressive when you get on it.

I had the FMIC and hard piping on my VIII and loved it, had no problems with it at all either, and when I had my X MR i was looking at the turbo back as well, just never got around to getting it. I know I would not hesitate getting any of their products.

Thanks again for all the input fellas... good to know everyone's been happy with their products.... I've had my eye on the ETS V2 Quiet personally, but I wish there were some local Evo guys I could personally hear their set ups... I just feel youtube doesn't do exhausts justice. Btw does anyone know if the cat back for an Evo X is 95db or under?
