Default TurboXS Gains for HR

Hi guys, been searching for TurboXS gains for the HR but couldn't find one so i was wondering if anyone have their dyno charts to show the gains, or just experience...

Also, since it's a complete catback, does it mean that replacing it with the HR Y-pipe will not do the car harm, but only good? I've heard good things about the stock HR Y-pipes already so i'm a bit curious..

TIA

Apparently you didnt search very well. 1. catbacks are mostly for sound 2. gtfo dude or w.e can tell you all about it because he a exhaust expert and 3. if i remember correctly you have to use the turboxs y pipe with catback. I know they did that for the rx-8 and if i remember correctly they did it with the 350z.

Yes i knew from 3 years ago that catback is mostly for sound. But did you know that MD has a catback that actually increases quite an amount of power?

Apparently i didn't make it clear enough. Cliff notes:
1.) Dyno of turboxs catback from HR owners ONLY. I already know that it made a significant gain on DE engines. ---> read Q#2 below.
2.) Will I lose power changing from HR Y-pipe to other brands FOR THE HR ONLY since i know HR y-pipe is already pretty good.

also, if you didnt no, i have the mod. xyz y-pipe! fool. also turboxs is cheap and it cheap for a reason. all 2.5 cat backs are the same. If you wanna be a name brand dyno chart hoe then go be so and spend cheap and get what you pay for! If you say the mot. makes power with there cat back then spend the money, not buy a cheap productect. Then y create the thread?? Spend big or go home! In your case go home!

Stock HR Y-Pipe is good only in comparison to the stock DE Y-Pipe.

From a pure performance standpoint, the HR Y-Pipe is crap. It's still has overly undersized inlets, and a larger but still undersized outlet. Coming from a stock DE Y-Pipe, and finding a used HR pipe for under $100, local, is a good buy.

Owning an HR vehicle, and not opting to upgrade the Y-Pipe to one of the standard configuration aftermarket Y-Pipes (2.5 inlets, 3.0 outlet) would be pointless. That's where the gains are.

Thank you, you answered my question 100%... That was what i was trying to ask...

HR Y-pipe is so popular with the DE crowd over at driver that i thought it was superior over all aftermarket Y-pipes. Now i know it's only superior over DE Y-pipes.

Hmm. 3in collector XYZ pipe, or 2.75in Tanabe exhaust. I wonder which one takes away power. Hmm.

As yours was, my comment is also unnecessary.

Please dont do that. The TXS exhaust will not bolt on to to any other Y-pipe. You are kinda stuck with it.

I have an HR and the turbo xs cat-back (and y-pipe) is my only performance mod. Unfortunately I never got a base-line dyno before the exhaust was on my car but I am confident it's adding a good bit of power. I went to a dyno day for 370Z's and out of about 5 stock 370Z's, my car only dyno'ed about ~7 RWHP less than a stock 370Z.

Dyno and Video..
