Description:
This is a Full 3" TBE from TurboXs which includes a 4" bellmouth that tappers to 3" at the hi-flow cat. Muffler is a beautiful magnaflow of polished chrome with a 3" tip that looks OEM. The exhaust note is very nice at all levels of RPM's... not too loud, but just right!
TurboXs has great customer service also. I ran into a few problems with this exhaust however. For starters the 4" bellmouth left little to no room if you had decided to wrap the DP. Second, even after creating ALL the possible slack for the cat O2 sensor my wire's just weren't long enough to reach. Therefor, i ziptied both ends and wrapped them in duct tape to keep out the weather. This is a quick fix that leaves you with about 4 options. 1: drive it with a CEL. 2:get a CEL fix, 3: Get a piggyback with a CEL fix. and 4: splice an extra 5" of wire to cat O2 sensor (i believe soldering is out of the question due to stainless wires) so the )2 sensor fits into the bung.
Overall, i may have just been unlucky. i do like the exhaust though... i just believe i would have gotten another that WAS a direct fit.

Pros:
Great sounding and very attractive
Cons:
fitment was poor at best
I would recommend this TBE for anyone with patience on the install and with a 5mt.
Having a 4eat, i couldn't create enough slack on the O2 sensor to reach the bung! the wider tranny kept me from doing so.
However it's a good exhaust but i believe there's better TBE's on the market.

Have a family member or friend looking to refinance or purchase? Your referral on a closed lead will not go unnoticed. *PM me for details* I’ll even pay for their appraisal and credit report fees out of my pocket at the close of escrow.

Pros:
Great looks, great sound, great performance!
Cons:
Hangs a little low w/ high flow cat
I\'ve had this turboback for a while now, and I love the performance. I did however opt to swap the muffler in the end since it was still a little too loud for my taste. Don\'t get me wrong, this turboback isn\'t very loud, yet you still get the low rumble that every suby owner loves. I did however have a few instances where the high flow cat would scrape when going over larger than average speed bumps. This set up definitely hangs lower than stock. Still, overall I rate this exhaust an 8.
