Well to start things off, I screwed up from the get go. I looked at all the

different brands of test pipes out there and found the cheapest brand and

bought them. T-Pros to be exact. I mean how can you screw up building a

pipe that's two foot long and has a few welds on it. Apparently they can,

b/c both sides had cracks on almost every weld and the drivers side

resonator was cracked all the way down the center. So I decided this time

around to go with TurboXS mainly because they already have brackets

welded on them and I'm to lazy to drag out my mig and build some myself.

Installation was a breeze: Unbolt the bracket connected to the cats, 3 bolts

on the exhaust manifold, 2 on the y-pipe, and undo the 02 sensor (unplug

first so you don't twist the wires). It's alot easier to go ahead and screw in

your 02 sensors into the new piping before you bolt it up to the car. Just

install the new tp's in reverse order you took the cats off, plug up the 02

sensors and you're ready to roll. I would also suggest using the non-foulers

trick on any brand of test pipes to prevent from throwing a cel code.

First impression with my new setup.....man this thing sounds bad ***.

I mean any Z/G sounds good WOT at 6000+rpms , but now its sounds like

it has more authority. The TurboXS tp's are non-resonated so there is a

little rasp but not anymore noticable than the T-Pros which were resonated.

I hate saying you can "feel" a difference but it does pull harder. If there is

anybody that has been wanting to get some tp's for their car I would

recomend these. And take a word of advice from experience, stay away from

T-Pros, I'm still running their Y-Pipe but that will soon change. All in all I'm

very satisfied with the new tp's so far. I will get some vids or sound clips of

the tp's through stock exhaust and then through my new tanabe exhaust.

 

what do you mean by the "non- foulers trick"?

 

Maybe this will help:

So you are running TP and Y-Pipe on the OEM exhaust? I have just the APS 2.5" TP w/ OEM exhaust and love it. Considering getting a full exhaust but willing to save the money and just upgrade the Y-Pipe.
