Well I'm guessing you don't like the tips for the same reason I don't. They don't extend out far enough. It would be a bit more work than just swapping tips, but if you had a short peice of 3"pipe welded in as an extension then you could weld a new set of tips onto that.

Anyone have just the catback system? I read that it has a 13 HP gain but there is no increase in torque, how would this change the performance in everyday driving?? Thanks.

That's true about the engine, that would have really been a bad day. I really wish I knew why it died though. I don't want to replace the turbo just to have it die again.
I'm going to give Greddy a call to see what they say, but I know zoomzoom8's turbo died and Greddy wouldn't do anything as mentioned in this thread.

Really doesn't seem right though especially when almost every other turbo kit manufacturer offers a warrenty and they clearly imply they do as well on their website.

I noticed your comment in another thread......

Scott's video shows he made ~290whp @12psi in 5th gear
Maybe I'll visit the dyno next month and see exactly how much the turboxs has added.

I picked up my busted car tonight after they closed. I had asked them to leave a copy of the dyno sheet in the car. I thought they had said it was running at 10psi, but the dyno sheet shows 8psi. So it looks like 284hp@8psi in 3rd gear
4rth gear made slightly more boost and slightly less hp. I'll be pretty happy with those numbers once I get the turbo fixed.

I just wanted to give me $0.02 now that I have this exhaust. There is definitely a power increase. I was tuning my car yesterday, doing a bunch of 3rd gear runs to redline and the car feels much more responsive than it did in high boost (12.5psi) before the exhaust. Keep in mind that the boost controller was off, and I lost another 2psi or so across the board from switching my wastegate signal (GReddy fix #2). Even with all that, I was still getting about 8psi. I wasn't able to turn the boost controller on and tune around that, but I can't imagine how hard it will pull when the boost is turned up. The sound is great. Its a bit loud, but its really deep and aggresive. I'm sure everyone knows my opinion about the tips, but other than that, I'm extremely pleased with this system.

One bad thing about the greddy turbos are that they are refurbished mitsubishi turbos, which are known to fail. If you are going to get a turbo, I would recommend hks or garret.

Greddy turbos may be refurbished??? NEWS FLASH!!!!
