Turbo Back Exhaust Packages - $950

Now this will be felt HP increase right? I dont mind some snarrling of the exhaust if its for 40 horsies but will be pissed if its loud and not faster. Also for smog here in California can I just swap out the DP and test pipe while leaving the CBE in place to pass smog when I sell the car?

I have the MS CAI so with that mod and turbo back will this be a good set up?

How easy of an install is this and how do you get the old exhaust out, does it have to be cut?

I really am looking at doing a cool mod that wont dick with the warranty and apparently this turbo back wont void anything other then the parts we removed which wont matter.

Oh and can someone tell me what they hell o2 bungs are? From what I have been reading its to trick the ECU that there are CATs so there is no CEL but Ken said the 3rd bung on the test pipe is for our own wide band. I have no idea what that means or what to do with it.

An O2 bung is just a threaded hole in the piping, for connecting an O2 sensor.

The first 2 bungs are used with the stock O2 sensors. The CEL fix usually involves adding a piece which acts as a spacer between the bung and the stock O2 sensor, but I believe the fix is actually built into the bung in this case.

The 3rd O2 bung is indeed for a wideband Air/Fuel ratio gauge. It's not necessary to use it, the bung is just there for convenience, if/when we want to use a wideband. It can be capped off with a bolt if not used.

(Correct me if I'm wrong guys)

As for the thread topic, I was sorely tempted by this deal.. and then you dropped the price more. I'm interested, but I need to know if there's any added droning at highway speeds. I looked on this and another forum for sound clips, but I didn't see any in-cabin ones for either of the TBE options. I only want to be noticeably louder at/near WOT. Anyone know how these setups might sound?
 
can only speak for corksport cat back and at cruising speeds the exhaust has the same note as stock if not a bees d!ck louder, ive noticed i dont even hear it when im listening to music until you get on it, assuming with more flow through the exhaust the sound would go up a bit but nothing bad

Hey thanks man I think I get it now. I hope that spare bolt comes installed on the 3rd bung right?

I understand there will be more noise but if it gets 40hp that is freakign huge gains and worth it to me. If cutting on your resonators makes it loud but doesnt add s*** then I think it would be retarded to do. I am really looking at the gains here and hope they are accurate.

Who is coming up with this 40-50hp figure for this system has that been under dyno or are people just adding up the gains per modification?

I am about to add my name back on the list but want to iron out some shizznit first.

Also I would like to know about install for how you get the stock exhaust out and the new one in? Is it cake and can be done at home or whats the deal?

PS any change on a scan of a instrution sheet so I can see if I can even install this bad boy?
 
Whitey you`re a a bit like me,the exhaust is pretty much plug and play no cutting welding what not,when you decide to sell the car 3-4 years down the line,you must put back everything,if you want to get the full asking price for it.So keep all stock parts including FMIC`s intake etc.
 
I wont get full price for it?

I figured to pass smog I would have to put back the DP for the new owner but having a 1k exhaust wont help the sale?
 
Sorry guys...

I might actually take my name off the list for now. I know Cobb Tuning has been talking about their turbo-back package for a long time now... but there seems to be more chatter about it releasing shortly.

I think I'm going to wait to see and compare the performance + sound for both whenever it comes out.

Cobb makes FABULOUS products and I plan to be a big customer of theirs. But trust me, the price for a full Turboback exhaust (Downpipe + Catback) from Cobb will likely cost 50% more than $900 shipped here.

I had lots of good experience with my Subaru and Cobb stuff. Know that the Accessport works just fine with other mfg aftermarket exhausts. I ran my AP with a Perrin catted DP and a Greddy EVO2 catback.

Tell me more about what you mean about putting stock back down the road? I figure when time to sell/smog replace stock DP for the smog then reinstall it should be fine right?
 
I'm in @ 900 shipped. I also asked for a pm reguarding a PG motor mount and shifter bushings and haven't heard back. Should I just call up the shop?
 
Damn it I want to buy one but not until I hear for certain there is no ECU tune or CEL issues.

Why are some people saying that an ECU tune must be done. Another guy with the CPE s*** said he had a running rich at idle code and may need a retune.

I just dont want to be the test rat group that figures out $900 went to nothing but problems or a money pit to make it all work right.

I really want 40 more horsies and will drop the credit card to save $50 or if we dont get 10 then I will pay cash plus the non discount.

we've done turboback exhausts on these cars. there was no CEL. it made power and the AFRs were in line. i don't know if my word is not enough here but i have said this a million times now.

i'll be here tomorrow after 3pm CST if you would like to call
 
I totally trust you since you have done this more then once, lol. I am just asking why some people have said this.

Add me to the list please I would love to feel some horsies.

Hey Ken have you drove some of these cars after the TBE and felt a difference?
 
New list start:

1. whitey4311
2. zoomzoom
3. acgfast
4. Craighjr
