Exhaust choices

Morning everyone,

Ive decided to purchase an exhaust for the car. Since my car was rear ended, the stock exhaust is shifted and Im sure will fail in the near future.

Im looking at ZZP and TurboXS as those seem to be the big sellers out there. What are some other options?

I'd like to have a resonator and a muffler. It would be nice if there was a axle back swap available to go mufflerless. I know I have that option with TurboXS and probably ZZP as is.


some other names ive seen, Treadstone, MPX, Hahn. Anything else? Which one does everyone prefer? best fitment, sound, etc.


hey, im sure there are other threads like this one but this one is my thread, its one of a kind.

MPX and TurboXS seem to be most popular.
The GT series TurboXS sells is probably what will fit your wants best.

I agree, but I recieved some facebook comments saying they are sub par... I have installed Turbo XS exhaust on a WRX and did not find anything wrong with it. Kind of looking for testimonials from people. Both good and bad experiences.

met the sales rep personally from turbo xs and when i had my car i had the turbo xs catless dp along with the gt exhaust then switched to the RFL exhaust. not once in the 4 years that exhaust was on my car did i have an issue with it. product was absolutely great!! people on facebook dont know their ass from a hole in the ground half the time haha

Yeah you can't go wrong with turboxs the only thing you need to figure out is how loud you want the exhaust I have the FL and it was my first car mod so it's been on for 2 yrs zero problems

yeah, I will probably do the GT since it has a muffler, I dont know how loud the RFL or FL is so its a tough choice. I live in a townhouse, also have a kid to tote around, dont want him going deaf. Being able to change the axle back sounds like a great deal.

The FL isn't that loud to be honest it's a great exhaust you can definitely tell it's in the car sometimes if I have music on I can't even hear it lol

I thought the rfl was going to be obnoxious. Its not at all. You can keep it quiet when you need to. The fl is probably a safe choice for you. They are a quality product. I have no regrets with mine.

that doesnt sound loud at all, lol. but I can control the volume of the video.

Sounds great though. How far does the tip stick out? This is going on a sedan so im not sure how well fitment is.

its not loud unless you get on it half throttle at abour 10-15psi and around 4k then the **** will get loud as f*** lol. my buddies say it sounds really good and its loud but not obnoxiously ricer loud lol

it only stuck out maybe an inch or so if that. it still sat inside the little cutout that was in the rear bumper on the rear skirt. you should be good on the sedan though.

Should be good on the sedan but might not look the same on the sedan since it doesn't have the skirt

I'll take a picture for you on my sedan. It doesn't fit the same on the coupe vs sedan but it looks good.

Also, it sounds fantastic and somewhat mellow as long as you're not in boost. Once you go into boost, **** gets real

I like the MPx exhaust I have, its not super loud. Has a nice tone at idle (i've had it catted, hi flow cat, and cat less, all sound good) and it is fairly quiet when cruising, until you get into boost ~5-10psi it starts to open up.

The fit is pretty damn good, don't have it hitting anything and no leaks and it's been on the car driven year round for 4yrs now

I'll second the mpx exhaust. I have it with a catless dp made by Omiotek and it sounds nice all around, whether you are idling, cruising(no drone, but I don't drive expressway), or going wot(definatley gets loud). Very easy to keep quiet, my wife says never hears me pull up until I'm parked.

I have a coupe, so fitment won't look exactly the same obviously, but it definatley doesn't hit anything under the car and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb.

I have the hahn/ zzp catless dp on my sedan, they use a magnaflow resonator and muffler. Loved it as a daily., zero drone, nice deep tone. Now that it's just a weekend/ nice weather warrior I'm looking for something a bit louder. Probably will wait till black Friday tho
