I am looking to get exhaust for my 04 WRX, which brand should I go for?

I am lloking for a turboback for around $900.

My buddy can hook me up with NEW Turbo XS RFL TI turboback for $950!!

IS there anything elses out there that is comperable quality for maybe less?

Or should I just peice together a system, HKS dp, and som other cat back.

Let me know
Thanks
Rich

 

id stay away from the hks downpipe and maybe go with a helix down pipe and uppipe. that turbo xs system is nice and for a good price id go with it

 

Yes, you can get a full helix turboback (with uppipe) for the same price (possibly less) $950 at Gruppe-S

Both are very loud though.

 

you can get a mid pipe made from a muffler shop for cheap i had mine done for 65$ 3inch

 

cusco titanium lol ok dats not in ur price range

 

Or go HKS cat-back with a Helix or other downpipe

 

id stay away from the hks downpipe


Why?

 

because usually aftermarket downpipe have divorsed or bellmouth design to create higher exhaust flow and minimized back-pressure, but HKS doesn't

 

the HKS DP uses the same design as the stock DP. the wastegate exhaust hits a wall and then has to make a 90 degree turn to merge w/ the exhaust from the turbine wheel. its just a waste of money. get a downpipe like a Helix that has a huge bell mouth to allow unrestricted flow of the the exhaust from the wastegate.

 

Thanks for the sugestions. Yeah I noticed that the HKS dp doesn't have the bell mouth design.

One other thing, I don't want to have VERY loud exhaust, I do a lot of highway driving.

WHat would be your recomedaton?

BORLA HUSH BABY!!!!

HKS carbon-ti and hilex downpipe

 

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but can anyone recomend a single tip cat back system that is nearly as quiet as the stocker or the borla hush?
