Genesis Coupe TurboXS Exhaust Installed
I purchased a TurboXS full turboback GT Exhaust. Paid on Thursday, arrived on doorstep Monday. Excellent speed and customer service.
O2 housing is not yet installed. Have to pass annual emissions testing next month which includes a visual cat inspection. Installed the downpipe and rest of the exhaust last night. Total time was 3 hours, plus 30 minutes checking all bolts to make sure everything was tight.
I was originally going to install only the catback, but ran into difficulty. The stock bolts are threaded on both sides, like in a way that allows you to put a nut on both side. The holes are threaded, and I didn't have anything to remove the bolts from the threaded holes. I couldn't get the 19mm OEM bolts to fit into the TurboXS holes for the catback to line up to the secondary cat - the 17mm turboXS supplied bolts likely would have worked, but I didn't have a way to remove the OEM bolts. Thus... I decided to install the downpipe as well.
Total OEM removal and TurboXS install time: 3 hours
yes, yes, I know, the O2 is upside down - I realized as I took the picture but didn't care to change it.

yeah, it does NOW. The stock setup had a bar that runs across - I guess to catch the exhaust if the hanger falls? The new setup was vibrating against it, so I jacked it up, removed the two 10mm bolts, and the little pansy bar fell off. Sounds GREAT now!

The exhaust really sounds a lot louder in person, for both OEM and TXS. I used a FlipCam for the videos, great for capturing all sounds and suppressing excess noise (aka loud exhaust)
FYI.. this is the 19mm OEM bolt used at the second cat and the O2 housing exit I referred to in the first post. On the O2 housing / primary cat, the ratchet removed the nut on one and unthreated the bolt from the hole on the other. There was no nut on the reverse side, so I left one bolt in the O2 and used a 17mm in the empty hole that came with the exhaust system.
