Definately glad I wasn't rash and get something else, I can't wait to see how this system turns out.

 

Thanks you for the feedback. We have not tried the installation with aftermarket headers so I am not yet sure of fitmet issues.

The downpipe connects into the stock exhaust after the stock "Y" assembly after the factory CATs

 

Yes, for two reasons...first the demand apears to be there for it and second I personally bought one last week.

 

You raise some very valid points...our first thought was to create as much of a full proof bolt on system that ran exceptionally well. From most of the people we have talked to very few had the ability or want to tune themselves although I fully understand were your coming from. It may very well be that we will need more than one solution.
We have tried the split second box on another application in our line up and had some capatibity issues with the stock ECU.

 

so this will essentially replace the y -pipe altogther correct. In other words flow goes from the headers-->merged via pipe to the turbo--->off the turbo into the downpipe--->to the single mid-pipe--->muffler Or did I miss something....BTW Very excited to see this thing!!!!

 

Of course I am a little bias but I think it will be a great success. it's a little out of the box from what else is available. Not that there anything wrong with what is currently on the market as they all seem to be very well put together and do what were designed to do...make power.

 

Yes, you are correct...seeing is nice but driving it will be better. See ya next Friday.

 

FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

First issue I have found for this kit........atleast for the ppl with a true dual exhaust...and I'm sure there are a lot of us.

Since the stock exhaust transports the length of the car via a single pipe, it makes sense to bring the down pipe back far enough to elimnate the factory "Y" pipe converging off the cats, but the Stillen, Borla TD, Injen TD, and a few other exhausts I'm sure will be left with a little extra duct work. Only alternative would be to have an exhaust shop fashiion a section to split the single downpipe coming from the turbo back off to the dual catback.....inwhich case I would rather buy a new system or have the whole thing done custom with open pipe to the rear....turbos are mufflers anyway.

Good thing I kept my stock exhaust...

This will be ideal for the owners that bought the single pipe japaese exhausts where the "Y" pipe is sold seperatly and they have the aftermarket catback mated to the stock "y" pipe. Looks like my Stillen may be for sale soon, unless someone has a Fujitsubo Legalis R to trade.....would also consider the JIC Magic Twin 505S ST Full Titanium muffler setup.....

 

awesome

 

Well as with any turbo kit you might have to sacrifice one mod to pick up a GRIP of power with another.

 

Oh yeah, I'm not complaining at all..... I will gladly do it.

I just wanted to voice it now and get it out incase someone is researching the post later on and decides to order the turbo kit only to figure out they have to drop another $800 or so on exhaust when it doesn't match up. (Assuming they don't still have the stocker)

Just means there will be a lot of great deals on intakes, headers, and dual catbacks for all the guys staying NA....

 

Turbonetics, just an FYI, I sent the info you have posted thus far to Avalon Racing a few days ago to find out if they intended on carrying this kit and they currently have their tech reviewing and researching it. Is there someone specific they should get in contact with too field any questions?


Thanks in advance for your time

 

Sponsor me I gotta see pics of this. I'm about to buy a twin turbo kit soon . When is this kit coming out? I can wait a month , this is when I'm buying my kit.

 

Rayden- you get the twin turbo, and I'll pick up the sponsorship

 

yeah, I seriously concidered seeking the sponsorship route, but decided I just cant be ready in time. Turbonetics, acording to early posts, is looking to have this kit ready for Sema which is first of next month.....and I need more assurance before I make that kind of commitment. So I'll focus on getting the clutch and flywheel (and maybe final drive rearend swap) and what not taken care of while a few kits get installed and tuned and then I'll be ready. In the meantime I can sell my headers(new), catback, and intake.

 

so there's no way to keep the cat?

 

Not at this time. we are researching a single CAT that would be legal in California for this application and we will keep the forum updated as things progress.

 

we have posted pics earlier in the thread for your review. one of things you may be interested to know and you can see by the pics is our polished turbocharger sits up in plain view just behind the drivers headlight..you can actually see your investment everytime you open the hood.
