I have had both exhausts on my car. But I would have to admit that I liked the Vishnu exhuast!! It sounds great, with a nice sporty sound. The TXS sounds good as well. But I think if I HAD to pick between the two...I would pick the Vishnu exhaust. No matter what I have said...I have always said the vishnu exhaust is da bomb. I have also heard that the twin dump down pipe is better.

is there a company that sells d/p's w/ cats, or does every company try to delete them out of the picture.
i live in CT and the emissions isnt even up and running yet, but when it does, my shop is testing, and theyre only using the OBD system to test post 96 cars anyway, but i just feel safer knowing theres at least 1 cat in my exhaust somewhere. plus the fact that it trips the CEL...

It doesn't really matter on the visual... replacing cats is a federal crime on OBDII cars. FWIW Vishnu downpipes have high flow cats, and thereby should pass the sniffer test.

TurboXS' exhaust is $1126, but as Sisqocqk said, it doesn't fit properly.

Hi there....

I have many issues with your post. First of all, the Turbo XS exhaust does not have any fitment issues. We are the largest Turbo XS warehouse in the nation and we move a large amount of their systems each and every day.

To date we have sent the turbo XS turbo back exhaust with cat, without cat, and with one of the two different muffler choices to literally hundreds of WRX owners.

With this in mind it is my opinion that no one other than TXS themselves is more qualified to comment on the fitment of their exhaust systems. Having said that I can tell you that there is absolutely no fitment issues with Turbo XS exhaust systems. This statement really is off the deep end when you consider the fitment of some pipes out there, and believe me I know because we sell them all.

Any issue that you encountered with your 02 sensor is immediately remedied by removing the clip that holds the 02 sensor wire to the frame, and the transmission bracket is going to be an obstacle no matter which system you install. Neither of these two issues compromise the fit or finish of the turbo xs exhaust system. And that fact that we get absolutely no negative feed back from our customers speaks volume about the quality and fitment of these systems.

My second issue is that if you are as you say a Vishnu employee, your comment is even less credible. Its generally considered to be bad form and unprofessional for manufactures to comment (especially negatively on the quality of their competitors systems) but hey, I don't know how you guys choose to do business over there.

Furthermore, its a full couple years since the inception of the turbo xs exhaust, and I still can't stock enough systems to fill demand. Pretty impressive for a system that doesn't fit correctly eh?

I know Sisqocqk personally. I have seen his exhaust. I know the shop that lengthened his O2 sensor wire to make it work.

However, this is the only TXS exhaust system I have any personal involvement with. On the other hand, I disagree with your statement that only TXS can comment on the fitment of their product. I would say that only TXS' customers can comment on that- and the comment that was made indicated a poor fitment.

Cheers, Kevin

Kevin...

I believe that you have misinterpreted my post, and after reading it myself I can see how you might have misunderstood. I was attempting to establish my own credibility by commenting on the volume of turbo xs exhaust systems we have sold, and installed here.

I intended to say that it is my opinion no one other than TXS themselves is more qualified to comment on the fitment of the systems in question.

My response was never intended to claim that no body has the right to comment on the fitment of the units. Furthermore, my post was intended to illustrate that hundreds of owners have commented on the fitment and other aspects of the system, and they are positive.

This does not change the fact you are employeed by a company who directly competes with the company in question, and therefore your opinion needs to be taken with a grain of salt. If you don't want your opinons to be taken in this manner, you should avoid commenting on competing products. It only fair.

That is all...

That is why the first sentence of my first reply to the thread stated that I am an employee of Vishnu. The response I made was called for by my position as a moderator- it is my duty to relay personal experiences and opinions when questions like "which exhaust- TXS or Vishnu?" are posed. However, few of those who know me as a moderator know that I am also a recent employee of Vishnu, and I didn't want appearances to be deceiving. In the future, however, I will refrain from commenting negatively on competitors' products except in cases where they clearly are inferior. Lastly, I can't think of a single person on this board whose opinons aren't subjective to one degree or another. There is nothing objective about an internet chat board.

so basically...if you buy the Vishnu exhaust...you will be more than pleased with it. If you decide on the TXS you will also be more than pleased with it. These are both great looking and sounding exhausts...and they both can help to achieve GREAT power gains. I had both...and had good power gains with both!!

cant go wrong with either one....
