Maximum Power - Precision Fitment - Incredible Sound

If serious power gains and exquisite sound is what you're looking for; consider the search officially over. Our FSI/TSI turbo-back exhaust systems provide instant results: significant horsepower and torque gains, high performance sound, and worry-free fitment. More than just a pile of pipes, our turbo-back systems are precision fabricated from CNC machined flanges, CNC mandrel bent piping, Magnaflow mufflers, and mirror polished tips. The result of our meticulous metalworking is a heavy duty exhaust system that fits like it should and outperforms the competition.

Modular by design, our turbo-back systems offer endless configuration options. Starting with the downpipe, our systems are available in street or race configurations. Street series systems include a Magnaflow 200 cell catalytic converter. Race series systems include a test pipe. On race day the cat can be easily swapped for a test pipe. An optional resonator provides a more mellow exhaust note, available at any time. The cat-back portion of our system is available in 2.5" or 3" piping. 3" piping is typically preferred for all-out power while 2.5" offers a more refined sound and powerband. A choice of two tip styles lets you choose the look you love.

Our FSI/TSI turbo-backs are technically a combination of our 3" downpipes and our 2.5" & 3" cat-backs. Repeating the features of our downpipes and cat-backs would only make a long story longer. To learn more, follow the links below to review the detailed construction and fitment information for both systems.

One feature our downpipes and cat-backs can't boast on their own is power gain. In our extensive testing we road tested our daily driver FSI with a long list of exhaust configurations. This list represents a true evolution of exhaust modifications - from a resonator delete, to a downpipe, and followed by numerous cat-backs. We found every exhaust modification to be worthwhile, but maximum gains were found using our 3" turbo-back. No power losses have been felt, and boost holds out longer with the stock turbocharger. In fact, we're unable to mention any caveats. We would like to prove our findings, but our local dyno shop suffered a fire and the closest shop will call for a scheduled road trip. Soon, we hope.

Turbo-back pricing starts at $860 and varies by several series and options. All configurations can be purchased ceramic coated.
