I suppose the melting issue will depend on the quality of the aftermarket rear you have. I had my turbo xs (full race system) on for about 7k miles, and never had any problems with melting. This includes both turbo and Na use.

but then again no ones responding or helping out with that, so i may just wing it with 1.5" and see what happens.
and if anyone wants pics from me after i'm done... i'll be more than happy to post them up and help out whoever is buying the TurboXS Exhaust in the future.

By comparing these photos to my TurboXS and stock rear bumper it is interestng to see the big difference between the total lenght of the tips. I feel this comparision shows that the TurboXS tips can be extended about 3inches without protruding beyond the stock bumper. So with that nugget of information one can assume that it should be safe to extend the TurboXS tips by that amount with the MS rear bumper?? ![Icon Tup](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/icon_tup.gif)

I should post up my modification/tuning list. That is instant ownage.
Anyway, i'm dropping off the exhaust at the welding shop tomorrow morning. I'll post pics once its done and installed, and i'll let you all know how much of an extension i put on the back of the tips.

From O'Renesis pic... it looks like its a full 4" from where it needs to be.
Bindon, if you could send me what you got.. that would be great.
Attached is how my greddy sits with the MS Rear. In my opinion it is perfect, and i'm hoping i can get the turboxs to fit similarly. As you can see... the greddy is completely flush with that top corner peice, marked in red.

silence mark!!!
for the bling factor im upset i'm parting ways with the greddy exhaust. It looked perfect. 4" tip, perfect placement... etc
but i need the full 3" the turboxs exhaust provides.
while im at it.. might as well get this to look as purdy as possible.
hey, did you ever order the fabulous kit? that would be hot!!

its not where it splits on the greddy that i had a problem with. If you measure the pipe that connects the cat to the y-pipe/canister/tip portion... you'll see its tiny. Its actually narrower than stock.
This might be good for someone who is NA, but for a turbo setup its no bueno.

On a side note I have the OBX header and a 3" custom test pipe installed. Haven't had a cell and I have driven 300 miles so far. Drove it easy for the first 100 miles. Then pushed it a handful of times.
When my Uncle was riding with I wasn't able to put it into second (no grinding, I was patient) but I blipped the accelerator up close to 9k he got scared at first. He said he would be in trouble with his Z06 if he did that. I reassured him that I couldn't lose a cylinder due to floating valves... Cuz I already lost them with the rotary. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he has me stop by to check out his new 8. He has told me when he sees the 8 he likes it more and more.

Also, is anyone else intrested in the turbo manifold idea I had. I think it would allow people to expirement with the rx8 more. Instead of a "kit" people can do mild to wild turbo set-ups. I know that when the time came for me to turbo my car, I would jump on this.
