Cool thanks guys. I was looking and I saw the turbo xs TBE and I dont really like the sound, the cp-e sounds pretty good and its the cheepest so far that I found with out mixing and matching parts if you got any info bout these including HP numbers i would appricate it thanks again
Save your money and do the "stealthback" TurboXS. That is the catless dp/rp connected to the stock CBE. Believe me, the dp/rp combo will make the exhaust quite a bit louder just connected to the stock CBE. I had to put a 3 inch high flow reso in the middle of the test pipe to tone it back down a bit.
Too many people fail to understand that the stock CBE is excellent. It flows at a higher rate than the stock turbocharger can produce exhaust at maximum output. There are no power gains to be made, NONE, by spending money on the CBE.
The restrictions are upstream in the poorly shaped and restrictive stock dp and those two "low flow" cats. That's where you need to do the work and save your money from the CBE for other power mods.
As to power gains. Yes, combined with a good intake expect to be about 40-45 horsepower up on stock. More importantly, the gains are fat and broad, throughout the entire power band, coming on earlier, with fabulous gains in the midrange.
You will need to monitor boost levels, as the combo does raise boost about 2 psi over stock.

Did you have this custom made?
DIY with TurboXS race pipe and Vibrant 3 inch stainless UltraQuiet Reso. Go to my user profile for photos.
I've heard bad things about the TurboXS catback. HKS one is spectacular though
Maybe the HKS for sound, but it will make no more power than the stock CBE, nor will any of the others. CBE mods are strictly for sound until you fully bolt the car and get north of 300 whp.
