romeo, you should have gone with the HKS single outlet like mines. It's designed specifically for turbocharged vehicles.

amen to that one!!! Romeo, send that thing back!! It's a good exhaust BUT the tips don't come out far enough and it doesn't flow enough for a Turbo'd car like yours.
How much did that thing cost ya?

the titanium tip on the single outlet hks exhaust is adjustable so you shouldn't burn through your exhaust shrouds.

Its all under controll, fellas.

I'm welding on an extra inch (or whatever it takes) to the exhaust right before the tips to make it stick out just enough so that it causes no burn... either that, or slap on some new tips. who knows...



Ive seen people complain about the look. I think it will look fine. or "Stock" even. thats totally cool with me, as long as I have a better release opposed to the stock exhaust on my Turbo.

My main concern is sound. I want a good sound yet not too loud. I was thinking that if its too loud (for the cops) then i might slap on a silencer... but wouldnt that defeat the whole purpose of having a 3" exhaust?

Romeo: did you get SUPER huge discount on this exhaust or what?! The only reason I ask is this: why go through all the trouble of hacking your NEW exhaust and welding on extensions when you can just get an exhaust that's already designed for turbo setups.

You want a "stock" look???

this exhaust IS built for turbo setups.

its a 3" pipe straight through. and a racepipe which is also 3".
my car is pretty much a sleeper so big tips dont really matter to me. I just care for burning my rear bumper :D

and yes, it is a "complete" system because the turboxs sells the racepipe, then the exhaust, if you have both, its the complete system.

Right, but you said you got the cat back....which by your terms, would be incomplete because it doesn't include the race pipe.

actually looks like a good show, but i wouldn't waste money going to it. I'd only go see dilated peoples and the visionaries, but other than that it looks like another rip off of hot import nights.
