Let’s see what you have offered:
The exhaust is crap, it does not make much power and the tips are not rice enough for me. Why? Because I say so, not because I own it or have personal exp with it.
What have I offered:
Testimony from respected members that have dyno’ed the exhaust.
You keep coming back because you got punked around this whole thread, that is what is sad...
but hey everyone needs a pet, it is nice to know you are mine.

Hmm, where's RG when I need him?

Point being who cares. If some poeple are happy with it, so be it. Others are not happy, replace it. Sounds like every other product on the market today. Some like it, some dont.

Reason I mentioned it, was if TurboXS fixed this I could become a customer...
I could do it myself, but feel if they don't improve what they have made then they keep making an inferior product (because of the damage it can cause).
Why wouldn't a company want to improve the design?

Most forum members here buy catbacks so they don't have to deal with swapping out a cat. Had Turbo XS done their homework, they would have known that and then (again, according to you) it wouldn't be melting shrouds.

...I'm SOOO Off Topic
Digital D,
By any chance do you have an austrailian bumper?
(at least I think its austrailia) but the turboxs exhaust catback was designed to the Austrailian rx8 (again, not 100% if its austrailias) and their bumper is shorter than the rest of our rx8's and therefore the exhaust sticks out like a normal exhaust.
Maybe youve been right this whole time, who knows... but it could all be for that one reason... your rear bumper is diffrent than ours.
put that in your back pocket.

So since I've seen the exhaust, heard the exhaust, and ridden IN the car with the exhaust, by your definition, I still have "no experience"?
Wow, someone hand this guy the noob of the month award.

?!?? If the genius engineers at HKS, Racing Beat, Greddy, and RE Amemiya couldn't figure it out with their exhausts, you really think Turbo XS would have gotten it? I highly doubt that..Think my pet!

Honestly it doesnt bother me all that much though. Yeah, ill have to shell out some extra cash, but hey at least my tips will be different compared to all the other RX-8's with cat-backs, and as Bob Barker would say, " The price is right".

You can not have it both ways, either the results they got are true or they are not. Which is it?

hahah!!! you still didn't answer any of my questions brain damage. Stop basing your shyt on what others have. If they got those numbers then great! That doesn't mean you will get them. And talk about back peddling and getting pwned on everyone of your responses. YOu seriously need to go back to school or read up more on this forum. Did turbo xs pay you to respond to me and jedi or something? Cause if they did, they chose a horrible person to back up or represent their company.

Everybody on this forum is a liar!!!!!! GAAAHHHH!!

Im tired of seeing this debate. its been running the same circle over and over.
This debate wont come to an agreement. Lets just Agree to Disagree.
..... or we could all just meet up in person and have a classic cowboy shoot-out and the last man standing wins.

I was unaware a "school" existed for this forum, what kind of juvenile ghetto term is that?
Now answer my question do you think they got those results or are they liars? It is a very simple question.

ok brain damage, for the millionth time..i never even mentioned polaks name or whoever else owned the exhaust. So therefore I never called them liars, you're the one that made it sound like i did so quit with the antagonizing already. Now answer me and stop diverting the questions. Did you or did you not do a baseline dyno of your car and one after? And what if they actually did get those numbers, you really think you or others on this forum that have the exhaust got those numbers as well? Are we talking about crank hp or whp??

Answer the question do you think they got those results from this exhaust.
