LegacyGT2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Alright folks, I have been searching online for a good turbo back exhaust system and I am just confusing myself. Does anyone have any thoughts? Where should I be looking? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacychick Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 For the most part, you will probably have to buy your cat-back and downpipe separately. There aren't many places that make both. You also need to determine how loud of an exhaust you want, if you want a catted or catless downpipe, how much $$ you want to spend, and if you have a manual or automatic. Here's a great deal on a nice exhaust and downpipe: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51995 Other cat-back Exhausts: Greddy EVO2 Perrin Megan Racing Boral Fujitsubo (spelling?) etc. I can't even name them all Other downpipes: Invidia Cobb Megan Racing AVO TDC tuning Perrin Lachute Too many to mention I would just check out the vendor's websites and see what they have. There should be other helpful hints, but some people may just tell you to search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HansGT Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 you can save some money on a full down pipe by purchasing a shorty...like crucial racing, stromung or flow. these will get you most of the performance gain of thier big brother while allowing you to maintain the stock third cat in your second section of your down pipe. a good thing come emissions testing and visual inspections. a down pipe with high flow cat will only gain you about 5-8hp, not really enought to feel. a catless set up will be a little different...you'll begin to feel the difference....and smell it. check out the new spt exhuast....good reviews so far. others that seem to be popular are the Greddy EVO 2 (loud!), Perrin (loud) and Megan Racing (twin dual tips...only $600). or you could always have a custom cat back made...would run you about $400. Don't forget about your suspension. If your stock and move to a TBE with ECM tuning to support it, you should really consider at least some springs. Your stock suspension will have a hard time keeping the power to the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansGT Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 autospeed is having a sale on their exhaust products. check out this thread http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51995&highlight=autospeed TBE $998 ok if your car isn't lowered. lowered cars had issues with the cat back hitting the sway bar. they issued relocation brackets, but i'm not sure if that solved the issue. i believe the cat back on sale is this version 1. it's on clearance to move them out and make way for version 2.

wukindada Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Performance & quality wise it's VERY hard to beat a SP2 & COBB DP combo;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBBROS Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The fit on a cobb dp and greddy evo2 or sp2 is awesome. Can't beat those Japanese companies on their fitment and quality IMHO. (I know Cobbs USA). You usually get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wukindada Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Might as well throw in the GReddy header also;) Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverstar Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I can vouch for the cobb dp, great fitment nice looking piece. I just pulled the trigger on the autospeed cbe. check out the sound clips on www.autospeedperformance.com Their dp looks similiar to cobbs if I didn't already have one I would do the turbo back special they are currently offering.

DogLeggGT Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Performance & quality wise it's VERY hard to beat a SP2 & COBB DP combo;) So, what type of performance does the SP2 allow? Not as much as its EVO2 big brother? Is it as loud as the EVO2? What type of hp and tq gains will it show with DP? No need to address the Cobb DP issue. I'm more familiar with that piece.

wukindada Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Close to the same peformance as the EVO2 but much.....much quieter. I have the EVO2 & I wish I had the SP2!! As far as actual #'s go I couldn't tell you but there is def. power to be had with aftermarket catback. My conservative guess would be 10-13hp on a Stage II+ car Toyota 6EATS .........SUCK!!!!!!

coldeagle Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The XO2 and Cobb DP comb is great. Here's my review: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=51489 about 1000 bux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo67 Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I'm with Coldeagle on this one as well. XO (or RPD Racing) Catback from Chinkity-China w/ Cobb catted DP. Sounds awesome, but not obnoxious. The XO2 and Cobb DP comb is great.

bgray Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Ive been reading alot lately about TBE different combos, catbacks and Dp's etc etc. You can piece alot fo stuff together of course, and it will work. Ive decided to go with the COBB TBE, It is the nicest setup, cleanest, and all the parts seem to fit and finish flawless from WHAT I READ. ITs 1650$ USD, but after you do this and that by parting a full TBE together your gonna be around the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
