Do you guys know if the SSAutocrome version (i realize its the same company as TurboXS) comes with a silencer? It doesnt list it as a part in the description and the photo doesn't show one either.
If it comes with one, i'll definitely be on the ebay exhaust bandwagon. Thanks.

Just installed mine tonight and have read most of this thread....here are my thoughts.
1) It comes with everything, gaskets, more nuts and bolts that I know what to do with, well packaged, very quality item. Oh, and does include silencer.
2) Kind of a pain to install on the 05. To dent the downpipe, rubber mallets don't work, a towel and a regular hammer doesn't work....nothing but hitting it directly with the hammer works. I had to use a dremmel to cut off the XS Power emblem on the downpipe to hammer it easier. That was the long part of the install.
3) My 02 sensor plug is kinda angled up, so I couldn't use the CEL fix thing I got from Ebay....but on my little 5 mile test drive, I got no CEL, could still be down the road though.
4) Sound is great! It stirs up a few more rattles in the cabin, but who cares. At idle and lower RPMs, it sounds about like my catback did. At higher RPMs, it sounds much more aggressive. Standing outside the car, it sounds quite tough. My neighbor is a big car guy and he really liked it. Feels like more torque, but the butt dyno isn't accurate, so who knows.
OVERALL: The fit (after hammer adjustment), location of the exhaust exit, sound, and quality seem great. Can't believe I paid $247.50 shipped for this thing. Quite pleased!

I just put mine on last night and mine is sticking out the side like that too, i am not too sure if that is how it is supposed to be.
^Did you have any trouble with getting the exhaust tip to be even out of the opening on the bumper?

AWDturbo4 - I'll snap a picture of mine today, mine is angled up just a bit. We tried installing the delete pipe both ways and didn't neither gave us the angle we needed. It was a snug fit with JUST the o2 sensor in it.
joshesh - I'll take that picture too, my exhaust tip is PERFECT! Exactly where I pictured it in my mind.

Should of read the earlier posts, there was NO need to hammer your poor downpipe. Just bending the hanger would of worked fine. And the CEL may not come on immediately but eventually it will. Mine didn't come on until I made a few redline pulls and then fuel started to cut around 6k and that great orange light came on
Nonetheless, the car may feel a little better but won't actually benefit from the TBE until you get it tuned for it
