Hello there everyone...

Currently we have 30 Turbo XS RFL Ti Mufflers in stock and ready to go and 20 complete turbo back systems. Sit back enjoy these videos and let us know if World One Performance can set you up with a Turbo XS exhaust today! Pictures of inventory will be uploaded shortly.

Pricing on the Ti muffler is 429.00 click the following link for easy online ordering:

http://www.worldoneperformance.com/products/wrx/exhaust/turboxs_exhaust.htm

If you would like to order a Ti turbo back, give us a call!!



Here is a little something that we put together for you guys. The following are three videos showcasing the turbo xs catless exhaust system and the turbo xs RFL Ti muffler. The first video is a 30mb file with has a high resolution and is the best quality, download this one it at all possible. The next video has the same content as the first with a reduced resolution and smaller file size. The final video clip is the same as the high bandwidth version, however it does not have the thumping sound track.

We tried to cover all bases here and make a version of the video for everyone so I hope that you will all download it and save it to your hard drives. You need the latest version of quicktime to view these movies. www.quicktime.com/download

High Bandwidth:

Same as High Bandwidth in reduced size:

High Bandwidth No Music:

The turbo xs RFL muffler has some very interesting sound characterisitcs which we attempted to capture in this video. Many have commented on the volume of this unit and have said that it is a very loud unit. While I will definately agree that this system is on the louder end of the exhaust spectrum, I think it is important to put out that the folks over at TXS did due a nice bit of sound tuning on the Ti canister.

This exhaust really is loud when you want it to be when you are romping on the gas and not loud when you don't want it to be. In the video you will see highway shots from inside the car where absolutely no droning is detectable and the exhaust is very civil at idle.

In fact, when you are not on the throttle hard this exhaust is not overwhelming at all and you can easily roll by mister officer with out a problem. With that said, when you are nailing the throttle to the floor, look out, because this wakes up and roars like a monster.

We did our best to capture the tonal quality of the system, and since you can't quite appreciate it to its full extent in the video let me assure that the sound is very pure and very high quality.

I do not think that it is fair to compare this system to the blitz nur spec in the slightest. If you have heard the nur spec, this system sounds very different, particularly at high RPMs. Where the Nur Spec chops like a low flying helicopter the RFL just purrs.

The vehicle in the video has a completely catless turbo xs system, so you are hearing the system at its loudest. If you run with a cat, or especially if you are just adding the muffler itself the volume of the system decreases substantially.

Finally, if any one is interested I currently have 30 RFL mufflers and complete turbo back exhausts systems in stock and ready to go immediaately.

With that said, enjoy the vids and let us know what you think. Oh, and turn your speakers up!

Cheers,

Tried the "high bandwidth no music" and the quality is horrid for both video and sound. Do you have the files in a better format?

Hi there...

I am not sure which player you are using, but the sound quality and video quality are A+ with the latest version of quicktime. The download is here:

www.quicktime.com/download

MP4 is an awesome new codec which allows hi-fi videos to have relatively low file sizes and CD quality audio.

I sincerely hope that this helps, I want you to be able to enjoy the clips the way they were intened to be viewed.

Remember, right click and save as!

Mitch,

Please DL the Hifi with sound and let me know if you get the same result. We put a lot in to the making of this thing and I want to make sure that you are able to enjoy it.

Again on this end video is crystal clear and sound quality is CD 128bit.

Thanks so much!

The big question: Ivan, how much does Mel hate it?

That's pretty darned loud, it'll garner lots of attention, that's for sure. Looks and sounds great. In the Nur Spec realm for sure at WOT, but without the drone.

Sadly, QT runs as poorly on a Pentium machine as WMV does on a Mac. Can't we all just get a long?

SonicWRX
06-12-2003, 11:30 AM
It's got to be my machine. The video is very jumpy and full of digital artifacts. The sound is low, garbled and sounds like it's coming out of a barrel. Kind of hard to tell anything about the product.

Garret: I did try both with and without music. Maybe you could do a regular mpeg for us mainstream PC users. :)

Mitch

WorldOne
06-12-2003, 11:51 AM
Mitch....

I am a mainstream PC user to the fullest, Macs, drive me bananas. The video is working perfectly for me. I am really sort of baffled about why you are having the issues. The only thing that I can gather at this point is that perhaps its your processor, since I am on a 2.5 gig.

In any case, I will work on this solution for you!

Markus..

Nur Spec Realm? I don't think so, I don't think this thing compares to Armins exhaust that I know you have heard. That exhaust is very low and choppy, like a low flying helicopter, this system does not have that quality at all. Whats really mistifying is that when you let go of the throttle, the noise goes away. Ivan commented during the night before the filming that off throttle, the system was less audible than his HKS hiper.

Steve...

I know you would like it!!

I ordered my RFL from them and they provided excellent service, they will definately get my business in the future. I don't regret getting the muffler also, this thing is a work of art in looks and sound.:D

Hey Portland, I went from an MRT tb to the full turboxs tb and the difference in spool up and sound is amazing. Another thing, my MRT exhaust always rattled which irked the crap out of me. The Turboxs one fits like a glove, simply the most satisfying mod I've done.

06-13-2003, 02:22 PM
Let me see if I understand this right, this is just the axleback exhaust? So I will still have the midpipe/resonator in place. The race pipe is what will replace that section correct? I might as well just go ahead and buy both if thats the case that way I have the whole turboback done, since I already have the downpipe.

Davenow
06-13-2003, 02:25 PM
no, the race pipe ONLY replaces the high flow cat on the stealth system (txs's turboback) It wont bolt in to the factory exh.
This is just an axleback, if you want to replace your midpipe and cat, you need the stealth turboback. (which, FYI is a INCREDIBLE system and bolts right up to this muffler)

v8killer
06-13-2003, 02:48 PM
Ok, I already have the HKS downpipe, by replacing the axleback to the TXS one there is still going to be some sort of pipe in between the end of the axleback and the end of the downpipe. What sort of "pipe" will be needed just to replace that little section, thats what i'm asking. I know there wont probably be any performace gains from replacing that but I would atleast like it to be shiny like the rest of the exaust..lol.

I was so enthralled by the sound clips that I went over to TurboXS today to listen to one in person. (So nice that they're practically located in my backyard). The video is great, but in person WOW. They were happy to fire up the STi for me, so it was louder than it would be on my WRX, which is probably a good thing! It's got a very nice rumble at idle, nothing over the top, but under throttle, it snarls and pops quite fiercely! They said it was deeper-sounding when the engine is under load, and I was also curious about the in-cabin perspective, so we went for a little ride. :D Wheee - the STi is an amazing car... I want one. And inside, the muffler sounds great! just the right sound to keep a driver grinning. So, now I'm thinking that I may have to start saving up and just not worry about how everyone in my neighborhood is going to hate me :p The tip is huge in person as well, moreso than I'd prefer but the blue color looks great. Definately not for the faint-of-heart, or those who'd prefer to keep a low profile... but you already knew that.

Hi there...

We are located in Seattle, Washington. We typically ship to anywhere in on the west coast very quickly, and the east coast takes 5-7 days depending on the package. This is of course with UPS ground shipping. We are more than willing to entertain expedited shipping options.

I hope that this answers your question. Please let me know if you have any others. I look forward to hearing fromy you again soon!

hey garret,

i'm looking for more low-end grunt. any dyno charts with the ti set-up available?

WorldOne
06-18-2003, 05:53 AM
Hi there...

You bet they are available. Do you have a WRX or an STi? My Sti picked up 7WTQ at 3500 RPMS with the axle back alone! Let me gather the charts for you.

http://www.turboxs.com/_images/TXS_STI_TBE_RFLweb.jpg

Here is a chart that shows what the turbo xs turbo back with the RFL and one cat did to the STi. As you can see the increases are substantial. No dyno plots of the regular turbo xs exhaust vs. the RFL set up on a regular WRX just yet, but you can expect that the wheel torque and wheel HP will have increase marginally in the low end due to the straight through design of this canister.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, and I will do all that i can to answer. I sincerely look forward to hearing from you again soon!

World one-

Great website and information. I really like the fact that you follow-up on your posts too. I'm receiving my STi in 3 weeks. I'm curious if there was a sound file with the Ti exhaust on an new Sti. I DL your video which was great and probably the best "exhaust" video I have seen from a vendor. Good job.

If you have a sound/video clip of the Sti with Ti, that would be great. I look forward to doing business with you shortly:)

Fabulous, congrats on the new STi. We could not be happier with this exhaust on our new STi. You asked for sound clip, I am going to one up you with one better. We are already working on a video very similar to the one that you saw however featuring our STi.

I will get it up as soon as possible, and I sincerely look forward to hearing from you soon! Please let me know if you have any additional questions!

The sound clip that I posted is from a normal WRX. With a cat the sound would be the same just not quite as loud.

Hazdaz
06-25-2003, 11:04 AM
OK maybe I am confused here.. actually, I think there are no "maybe's" about it...

I am probably getting an HKS DP (remove all cats).. now does your system there let me hook up into that or what? And what would I have to buy - and how much?

Also, say I didn't go with the HKS - how much is it turbo-back?

WorldOne
06-25-2003, 01:49 PM
Hi there..

Both the videos that have been displayed at this point are of normal WRXs. I am not sure what you mean by normal WRX. I have not posted a video on an STi yet.

This muffler bolts up to the stealth back, and yes you can pick it up later.

Hazdaz: There is no way to bolt this unit up to the HKS downpipe. The HKS downpipe mandates that you finish off your exhaust with a cat back system unless you do some custom work. Turbo XS does not make a cat back system. The Pricing for the full system is located at www.worldoneperformance.com

Where's the group buy?:devil:

WorldOne
06-26-2003, 02:14 PM
0260: The car in our video is of the WRX, it just has an STi cluster installed, along with a host of other STi parts. I assure you however that it is a WRX, and a USDM EJ20T at that.

There are numerous shots of it moving in the first video as well.

Although I don't want to sound discouraging, I can nearly gaurantee you won't see a group buy on this things. Especially because there has never been a group buy on any turbo xs products. ;)

Let me know if you are interested, and we will get you taken care of. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi there everyone...

Its Obvious that this muffler is causing quite a stir, and rightly so in my opinion. I am glad so many of you are having such good experiences with it. For the record, I have not had a single person call and say that they don't like the system. It mean a lot to us as a supplier to be able to send out products that we know are going to put smiles on peoples faces!

It sounds like from some of those moving clips the exhaust is rather quiet under partial throttle.

Would I be able to get past a cop behind me if I went slow or gave it partial throttle?

06-30-2003, 12:59 AM
Yeah that should not be a problem. I passed a few the first night that I had it. Just went lite on the throttle, not problems.

WorldOne
06-30-2003, 03:30 PM
Definately no problems crusing past police officers. Its amusing because I have tested virtually every exhaust out there, and this one attracts less attention when you don't want it than many many other systems and more attention than most systems when you are trying to get noticed.

Awesome combo.

Thanks Troy.

Give me a call or email me with your phone number and we will talk about getting you set up. Although we can't finance I am certain that we can work something out. I would like to hear from you, or anyone else.

And does it come with the CEL fix?

What causes the CEL in the first place and what is the fix that you mention?

Also, did I imagine it or was there a check engine light visible on the STi gauge cluster in the video? It looked more like a picture of an engine that a CEL but I'm interested to know if this is/was related to the TBE or something else.

Thanks,
David

When adding an exhaust, most CEL's are caused by removal of factory cat's. Since you will be eliminating the cat in the downpipe, I would imagine you might get a CEL. When you replace the up-pipe you also usually get a CEL since the up-pipe has a cat in it as well.(not that the up-pipe is included with the turbo-back system.)

is this info correct WorldOne?

And what is the CEL fix to this problem?

Hi there guys...

When you install a catless exhaust system you are eliminating not one, but two cats. The first is in the factory down pipe and the second is in the factory center section.

You have a rear 02 sensor on your WRX which "sniffs" the mixture of gasses that are leaving the tail pipe, and if those gases are two rich in hydro carbons the rear 02 sensor will tell the check engine light to illuminate.

The illumination of the check engine light does not affect the car adversely or hurt things in any way.

A CEL fix is a resistor that you splice into the rear sensor wire that simply tells the check engine light not to illuminate. The code will still reside in your ECU, however the check engine light will not come on.

The code is referred to as the cat inefficiancy code, and it means that the cats are not doing their jobs. Obviously the cats aren't doing their jobs if they no longer exist.

If you go catless you will get a cat inefficiancy CEL.

The car in the video has a JDM cluster and has the cat inefficiancy CEL. The CEL on a JDM car is a little engine.

Thanks

Forgive the barrage of questions but I'm what you call a "visual learner" :) and would probably take it in more quickly if I was looking at the pieces in question rather than trying to imagine where all the sensors reside. :rolleyes:

In any event, I take it that your description above applies to the "Downpipe, Racepipe, Midpipe, Muffler" configuration, right?

Conversely, if one were to purchase the "Downpipe, Catpipe, Midpipe, Muffler" configuration instead, would the CEL still occur and would the fix be the same or different?

Thanks,
David

From what I understand only having the after turbocat will not throw a CEL.

Bradus...

Thank you for posting I will do all that I can answer your questions. If you get the turbo xs exhaust system with a high flow cat you wil not get a check engine light at all. A cat even in high flow form filters out enough gasses to fool the sniffers and more importantly ;) your check engine light.

There are two 02 sensors on the car, front and rear, but the only one worth while for this discussion is the rear sensor and it is located right after the cat in the center section of the exhaust.

Thank you for your questions and please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Cheers,

How much of a loss would a high flow cat create compared to a race pipe?

Hi there and how are you doing?

The cat pipe on an otherwise stock car will hold back less then 3-5 HP so you are not sacraficing very much at all in order to not have a CEL and keep the earth green.

On a vehicle with more modifications however like an upgraded turbo that cat will become more of a problem sucking up as much as 10 HP at the stage IV+ level.

So as you can see, the cat/race pipe choice depends heavily on what your plans are for the vehicle and what you would like to accomplish.

I hope that I have answered your questions, please let me know if you have any more!

Cheers,

Hi there...

Thank you for your inquiry. I was directly refering to the Turbo XS High Flow cat that comes with the exhaust system when you order at cat. I do not have any info on how a stock catalyst effects power out put.

Agreed on fixing the links... I have only seen the Turbo XS videos that they have on their site and it still leaves me as to which muffler to get from them, then normal one or the RFL... I want the RFL for the fact that I would get the most performance outa the deal...

Thanks,

Troy,
I love you man!

You rock!!! That's excactly what I was looking for the difference of the regular XS muffer, and the RFL muffler on the SAME car at roughly the same angle...etc! YOU ROCK! That clip just made my mind up! Did you notice any performance difference between the first muffler and the RFL?

Thanks again,

It's performance is louder. :lol: I can't say that I notice a performance differeance from one to the other. I am running catless so my exhaust is pretty unrestrictive as it is. I will say that when I put in the silencer I bought I can deffinitly tell a difference up top.
