that make sense...but still its an awesome exhaust...i think its the best sounding exhaust i have ever had on any of my cars (HKS carbon ti is up there too)

this exhaust really smoothed out my low end. I had the X02 and didnt care for it much. I just wish the muffler on the turbo XS was a lil bigger and lower. Its smaller and kinda tucked up under the car.

my tips actually stick further out than the one in the second video. Actually by quite a bit....thats kinda strange

I also just ordered one of these too. I have been a fan of Turbo XS for a while. I used some of their electronics of BOV on my old turbo civic. Quality is definetly there as well. Looking forward to the install.

I ordered one this weekend too. My cars still in the shop for another 3-4 weeks from my wreck, so it'll be awhile before I can post my review on it, but at least I'm gettin' free labor for the install. I'll post my sound clips in a month or so.

Unless you want the Nismo name, the TurboXS is by far the best deal for 500 bucks. Brand name exhaust at knock-off prices.

i agree i love the nismo but if i can save 500 bucks and it outperforms the nismo gains for most people i might have to grab one when i get some money. Im between this one and top speed now.

I dunno...I love the TurboXS's gains but I have to say there are a few exhausts out there that I would see as super sexy exhausts such as the Nismo, HKS Hi-Power, EvoTT, Fujitsubo Legalis-R & Ti, Powerhouse Amuse, ARC Ti, Mines Ti....OMG I have expensive taste. I'll shut up now. I like the TurboXS's price and gains!

I love the way the Topspeed sounds despite it being very loud. Only gripe I have with it is the canister styling. Would have preferred the mufflers to be more "hidden" like Greddy style, with longer tips and tucking the muffler under the bumper. That and I don't think the Topspeed includes a ypipe.

im telling you...the tone of the turboxs is amazing. I would say it sounds more exotic and more tuned. When you get on it, it sounds more like a race car/bike....not to sound like a ricer...but i really think so. Its not your very avg deep exhaust that just rumbles through your whole car. I love mine...and it has made my low end pulls SOOO much more smooth and fun.

there is no drone...if any, its when you are kinda at low rpms...around 1.5 to 2k but not really. When it hits around 3.5-4k it sounds AMAZING. I am not running test pipes. I didnt want to make it loud

yup...to be exact...there isnt more drone than normal exhausts...i think every exhaust has some sort of drone at lower RPM's when accelerating or driving normall...esp up hills when you keep the gas constant
