just did a quick google search again. this time for 'SLP EXHAUST TIPS' and found only ones with 2.5 inch inlets. Don't we need ones with 3 inch inlets for the turboxs catback? I've found tips with 3 inch inlets in the past but I really like the way the SLP's look. Where do I find them? I found these that have a 3 inch inlet but they say 'for trucks'. They look like they'd work though.

Guess it could also be a reason not to..... By the time I paid to have the tips extended, it wasn't quite as cheap, but it still ended up cheap compared to most other exhausts.
I still love the exhaust though and would recommend it for the price (if you want loud), so long as you get the tips changed or extended out

$500 is still to much for catback, (a length of pipe and a muffler(s)?) mustang guys get dual exhaust, h pipe, mufflers for less than $500. My whole exhaust turbo-back(downpipe, test pipe, catback) on an eclipse was $400

$500 is what it costs from the header back. You get basically what you describe with the turboxs.

jeeazzus!!! know I know why this exhaust is so cheap. Got the race pipe in yeasterday after 2 mths of waiting put it on today and tomorrow it will come off. I use to think it sounded pretty good but with the race pipe it sounds like crap and it's crazy loud!!!

it's not bad on a turbo. though still on the loud side.
for NA you really need a premuffler somewhere like mine (CC Insert). The one I have is straight through design but lowers the sound.

In terms of build quality, the turboxs is really well made. It's not a "cheap" exhaust, the cost is low however. They used to sell the catback for $700 and the midpipe for $300 like everyone else does.

I like it, others don't like it because of the sound. I find it very useful for my Turbo setup, comparing it to the borla the Borla sounds better but from my exp. the Agency is more free flowing. One suggestion would be to get gaskets for the agency system they don't come with them from Agency.
I wanted to always try the Tanabe System but it is rather pricey.

the problem is you changed the tips out.
the turbo xs with the race pipe is pretty bearable as long as you have the silencers in. i commute 30 miles 1 way to class, with the silencers crusing at 80mph is no problem. you can hold conversations, listen to music, etc.
without the silencers other cars can hear the drone...
i just left my exhaust shrouds off. hey.. its weight savings too.
