TurboXS Downpipe $299.00
- Thread starter Mr.Jake
- Start date
You think one person, if I got a mechanically-inclined assistant, and rolled Akemi up on some ramps, could do this in a day? I'd love to get my car's dirt all over me and install my own stuff... Something car-otic about that. (godown)
Would be a good feeling knowing I did it, too, and can start building my skills in that area.

I think you could do it. I would take some time and one day should do it as long as you dont run into any serious problems. Doing it on the ramps though may be a pain in the ass. I had the lift and it took me 5 hours. My friend did his on his speed6 on ramps and took him about 9 hours. Now his is a lot harder of an install than the speed3's but I would tack on a couple of hours to my time if you would be doing it on ramps. Theres just not enough room to move underneath our cars. This is something you want to take your time with aswell cause if you mess up any of the sensores your looking at about 80-100 bucks for the cheap sensor and about 300-400 I think it was for the O2 Sensore. I didnt want to spend any more money so we made sure to take our time with takeing out those to sensors.
Hmm. It may well be worth it to call up the good-old-boy mechanic I had take all the cats off my 94 TBIRD (3 damned CATS) and weld 'er up with a new aftermarket exhaust. He could probably do a turbo-back setup in about an hour. I'm thinking more toward that, especially after reading the 'how-to' install a CBE, I don't have any cutting tools. I thought everything was just bolt/unbolt. Hmm. I'll have a Guinness and think it over.

My buddy had his downpipe and testpipe installed at a shop and it took 4 hours to do, so it's a timely install

im defintially going to pick up the dp and race pipe.. should be sick with the MBC and cobb sri
took a ride in cosmicblue's speed 3 from over on ************ and that thing was a little monster..3.25ets, mazdaspeed cai, racepipe and cat back. i was really impressed over stock.. cant wait for my stuff to come in!
and i would assume they know they are shipping out the wrong gaskets and anything ordered now should be correct? i would hate to set up an appointment to get them installed and have the wrong parts..(flame2)

why ? turbo xs dp is crap.
the best DP on the Market right now is from CP-E. www.cp-e.com
its a 1 piece, so no need for a test pipe.
If you want a 2 piece design, Corksport and Protege Garage both make test pipes. Corksport also makes a dp. i would chose those two anyday over the turbo xs.
