TurboXS Racepipe EPIC FAIL!
 

Well.... Was at the drag strip tonight and launched it hard and this was the result... lol..


The flex mesh itself came out of the flange if the picture isn't clear enough..

No wonder why everyone has been dropping their product left and right in the mazda community. Its pure shit!

soo agreed lol

haltech nailed it with his comment

too bad my downpipe and midpipe are top notch after excessive rapage... :-/

i'm the lucky one i suppose.

Gimme your car, a set of slicks and weekend at the track. I bet i prove what excessive rapage is all about! lol

I got rid of mine cause it fit like crap. Now Im even Happier I got rid of it.

that happend to a few other guys on mazda3forums,man im glad i orderd CS stuff and not txs

Well good news is I called up TurboXS and spoke with Jermaine, he obviously knew about the issue in the first set of RP's and no questions asked ordered me a replacement... Atleast it was a simple replacement :)

WOW...i was going to order txs dp and rp. fuck that. im going with cs now. havent herd anything bad about them. yet.

why do you even need that mesh part in there?

- MINI cat?

Allows flex in the system.

The replacement is an entirely new flex section. The only thing that causes it to break in the first place is way crazy wheel hop.

ARrGH!!!

This needs to have either a ball/swivel joint on it or use the factory springs and washers. I suspect we will start to see more and more of these failing.

It really doesn't what flex you use, They are not designed to see flex that far away from the motor. Our motors move way to much since we are on a fixed 3 mount system. You could use a 10" long flex section and they are still going to break overtime.

Wheel hop doesn't justify why the part broke, build it right and it will not break.

I actually sent them an email over a year ago asking why the flex is at the rear instead of the front and they couldnt answer.
