All right, there is an "aero-turbine" exhaust that claims it makes your car more fuel efficient, give your car more torque, HP, engine life, and keeps it running cooler. Now I'm thinkin about buyin one, but do you think it's a scam?

Does anyone already have one?

Here's the url to their homepage: http://www.turboexhaust.com/

 

Snake oil claims.

If the price is right (at $200 it isn't), and the build quality is good (who knows?), it looks like it wouldn't hurt anything. It still maintains a pass through center design... as long as they didn't shrink the pass thru down you would be fine with one. Same as a piece of straight pipe, or a good $60 Dynomax welded ultraflow.

 

Was at a shop in Co. this weekend just visiting and to make a long story short they show me this aero muffler and I kinda laughed at it thinking geez that things huge. Well they dynoed a slightly warmed over b16a2 with an open header and then the full exhaust system minus the resonator and cat and pulled almost (gulp...<zips up flame suit&gt 30 whp more than the open header with gains across the board.

Downside is they said and I quote "sounds like ***" but then again an exhaust system without the cat and resonator alone sounds crappy. The company that sells them (not the shop I was at) for 200 with the guarantee of a 12% increase in mileage.

Im still kicking around the idea of trying one But Im not sure if I want my car to sound like ***...BTW they repeated that phrase over and over again.

 

hmmmmm interesting...

Really? I heard the sound clips on the site and they sounded hella nice, deep and low.

 

all exhaust without a cat and resonator sound like ***....that's why you run at least a cat....what's really the point of running a testpipe to only gain around 3-5Whp if your lucky....just run a cat on you exhuast and you'll be fine...

 

it's a muffler not an exhaust
