hmmmm mines REALLY quiet, i dont understand how people say a midpipe is LOUD, i have the turboXS mated up to the stock exhaust and that thing is quiet, doesnt really sound anything louder than stock except for the rasp at about 4-5.5k rpms...other than that the smell is the only thing giving it away, and ive been pulled over with it on and never got a ticket for it

The factory exhaust system does a pretty darned-good job and it is when a cat-back is installed that the midpipes become noisy. That was why we pursued a certain design angle when we were testing silencers/resonators for the BHR midpipe.

which gives the least power possible and the BHR is the biggest Exhaust Restriction which gives the least amount of power. Just kidding... and btw, you have an 8 year 80k miles warranty for the CAT.

wait so the turboxs midpipe will mate directly to the stock size pipes? i thought the turboxs pipes were too large to do that last time i looked. i love the sound it gives and i really want the turboxs but i was afraid it would be able to hook up to my greddy exhaust cuz its the same size piping as stock.
