SSAC XS-Power opinions?

Post by skid542 »

So I've admitted defeat in getting my baby up and running quickly. I have removed it off my insurance and keep finding myself getting into the old 'well if I've got it this torn down, I may as well...' :). In doing such I am considering going 3" TBE.

I have a lead on a SSAC XS-Power TBE off of Nabisco for $125 plus shipping. It's used and I know the DP won't match the performance of a nice divorced, but it is a bellmouth and for the time being I don't need super high performance.

I'm figuring I'll have my intercooler, stock turbo (run at 11-12 psi), and a 3" TBE to keep me happy until I get my built 5mt. I figure my stock 4eat should hold the power coming out of these mods?

So does anyone have any opinions on this SSAC exhaust? Any other recommendations on the cheap? I am considering just getting a DP and having a shop install the piping but for $125 for the whole deal... hard to argue with that.

Any other opinions, comments?

Thanks guys.

I'd jump on that for $125, components needed to make a TBE will cost you more than that system....

Thanks, I did jump on it. The price went up to 150 and I paid 175 including shipping. It should ship out today and he's including an O2 sensor. I'll end up replacing the muffler at some point as I don't like the styling and want a nice twin tip, but for the price I can't argue.

It is for a WRX so I'll need to extend it a few inches, but no biggie.

Stay tuned for pictures :).

Well it came out to $190 shipped to my door. I have a tracking number and it should be here next week.
