hey guys. ive had my stock exhaust for a while now. got my coilovers, wheels, and all on. and now time for the exhaust

what do you guys think of the turboxs exhaust (without test pipes). is it just another cheap exhaust?

i was planning on spending like $1,200 on an exhaust at first...because i wanted a true dual. but is it really gonna matter between the true dual and a regular catback? i wont be going f.i.

but ya, if you guyss can throw ur opinions that'd be great. thx

here's the z now...its come along real well over the year. once i got it, i just wanted to get the wheels and suspension out of the way first. so next of course is time for an exhaust. this summer ill be working the engine mods.

 

Check out the Fast Intentions Intimidator. Unsurpassed quality and sound, best bang for your buck IMO.

No need for a true dual. If you like the sound of the TurboXS from videos you've seen, it is no doubt the best bang for the buck. Use the $700 you'll save to buy something else for the car.

 

I wouldn't get a true dual unless you

• Like the sound
• Or you want an all-out track performance car.

 

I was planning to get an intimidator as well. Great exhaust, great quality and amazing sound...especially after hearing inperson. Planning on picking up a TXS however, just because I can't deny it being less than half the price. That's a good chunk of money saved, or spent elsewhere on the car. However, you definitely can't go wrong with intimidator either.

 

, care to elaborate?

 

I like mine. It sounds great. It looks great. The quality looks to be excellent, but then I've only had the exhaust on for about 6 weeks. And for $500, I couldn't be happier.

 

turboxs seems to be getting more and more popular here lately, i cant tell from videos but is there some "rasp" from this exhaust (not paired with test pipes). cant ever tell if thats whats causing it.

also, any one know power gains?

 

i have yet to hear any rasp in a turboxs, except for the one running headers and test pipes

 

Well I was just saying that in the event a person wants a performance minded car, I would suggest a true dual because they seem to offer a more broader powerband. You may agree or disagree.

For the average Joe including me that has subtle plans on modifications, I would rather be searching for the specific sound that I like instead of dyno sheets that would be relatively meaningless to me.

Bottom-line is that since the OP seems to not have any major plans for his engine, I think a true-dual would be overkill unless of course he wants a specific sound offered from a true-dual.

 

i just got mine installed at mrc last week and i love it. Im going from a invidia n1 to a turboxs though so its a big sound difference. i used to like the deep drone sound but not when the exhaust is 5ft in back of you lol. plus the turboxs is kinda deep under low load and when you really push it, it sounds AMAZING!!

 

well, actually i am planning on doing everything i possibly can to the car. but i am not willing to spend about 7-8k on my car for a turbo. ive had the car for a year and 3 months, love it. but as most owners, u start getting tired of the power and crave for more. so i am looking for gains in the exhaust. im not looking for a cheap looking exhaust either u know? i dont care about the money too much, but if i can save...then why not?

so my question again, am i gonna get the same gains from a single exhaust from a TD exhaust? i know the gain is not much, but i try putting only the best on my z.

 

damn, that is sounding really nice...ive heard it before. how much did you pay? like 1,250?

 

I bought it slightly used from another member in the Mid-A for $700. His car was a Fair weather lady and the exhaust looked brand new when he pulled it off of his car with out even cleaning it. Good thing I had posted that I was interested in purchasing a true dual in the Mid-A regional section, otherwise I was one paypal mouse click away from dropping about 1400 on a new F.I. with an estimated wait time of 2-3 months before I got it . I literally had the work order ready to be processed .

 

damn, nice find for sure

 

Funny thing is his reason for selling it was something quieter and he bought the turboxs system. I put the F.I. on with stock cats and decided it was to quite, comming from a JIC non-resonated single I needed a little more growl so I put non-res Invidia tp's on. I have absolutley no rasp due to F.I.'s in corporation of a Magnaflow resonated X-pipe on their systems, this is also the reason why this is one of the only true duals that retains that sweet VQ rumble due to the mixture of exhaust gas pulses in the x-pipe allowing for the growl of all 6 cylynders firing out of each muffler. Rather than the dual angry 3 cylnder sound some true duals give out.

 

haha aright cool, thanks for the info. definatley not buying it new though.

i want an exhaust for the summer for sure.
