Is this really a Turbo XS mid-pipe?

    I just got back from florida and unwraped a shiny new mid-pipe, weird thing is it doesn't look like a TXS part to me, and did not come in a TXS box. I bought it from Rallysport. I didn't think that the TXS parts were shiny other than the muffler? Also the TXS webside says that the mid-pipe is supposed to have an o2 bung? I have a picture showing the midpipe (with thick flange) next to my magnaflow exhaust. Can sombody that has TXS exhaust tell me if they think this is the correct part?

    That looks like my old midpipe, IIRC it's the downpipe that has the bung and not the midpipe. I got my stuff used so I can't tell you for sure if it was shiny or not.

    That looks like the TXS part to me. The midpipe doesn't have an o2 bung.

    From order of turbo going to the back of the car, the TXS parts are like this:

    4" Bellmouth downpipe ==> Cat/race-pipe ==> midpipe ==> axleback

    The o2 sensor mounts in the cat or race-pipe. The cat/race-pipe to midpipe flange is a donut style (like the one shown in your picture).

    funny, I guess TXS's website is incorrect, thanks for the info!

    The TurboXS 3 inch Mid Pipe for WRX & STi is compatible with all other TurboXS WRX & STi exhaust components.

    * Full Stainless Steel construction
    * CNC-Machined flanges for a perfect fit and seal
    * O2 sensor bung for factory compatibility

    Requires a WS-DP; and either a WS-CP or WS-RP

    Some call the pipe after the shorty downpipe the midpipe, some call the pipe after the 'midpipe', the midpipe
