Tsudo Exhaust review

[whitemike89pl]

I bought Tsudo exhaust off the ebay about 3 weeks ago (Pipes are 2.5inch and tip is 4.5inch). I couldn't wait to get rid of my fart-can muffler. 220$ for Cat-back exhaust is a decent price. It came at the day of my birthday so I made for myself a nice present .

Exhaust came with bolts and gaskets, so it was just ready to put it on. Fits perfectly. Friend of mine who helped to put it on was surprised. Everything fited like a stock parts.

Some people probably wanna know if the exhaust is angled. Yes, it is but only slightly.

I like the sound, especially above 4,000 rpm (deep and nice). It doesn't sound bad at all. However, on my car its very loud (but I think it's just my car). I noticed difference with acceleration, especially at higher rpms.

Finally, I would recommend Tsudo for people with low budget who would like to get a nice exhaust.

Few pics:

When you get it on your car, let me know if its so loud inside when you're driving.

I have the catback and the header. It is quite loud.

I put the silencer in for winter and I think I might just leave it in. It brings it down to about the perfect loudness and still sounds good.

I didn't notice much difference in performance putting the silencer in and with the reduced noise I drive the car harder now

I didn't like the way it fit, mine rattle against the rear crossmember and the muffler pointed more down than up. It is fixable though,
I just cut the pipe at the muffler in half and then bent the muffler up and had it welded. The muffler tucks up really nice now and points up
instead of down. I kept about a half 3/4 inch between the bumper plastic and the tip of the muffler.

I've got a 4-1 header, resonator in place of cat and a tsudo N1 catback on my car. it's not loud at all for me. much quieter than my rice can i put on there last year. looks nice, mine fits perfect (only had to stretch it 2 inches because of my resonator produced a gap before flex section). mine rattled at first and wondered what it was until i looked under my car and saw one of the hangers bent up against the underbody and the piping was tapping it...vice grips and a bolt fixed that. low rumble until 4500 rpm in my car and then starts to scream. best $200 i've spent that is for sure.

Well, my friend said that I will lose power if I cut the pipe and weld it back. Is that true? How much muffler shop will charge me if I do it anyways?

Yeah, I have seen your profile once before. Nice ride.

yo whats going on white mike... i can vouch i've personally been in the gs and it sounds pretty nice. good review....

honestly it depends on which exhaust shop you go to but I'd recommend bending the piping on the car and then taking the muffler off to be welded because it will cost less.

bench welds are usually $50 cheaper than welding on the car at the shop.

bench welds are usually around $15 a joint.

I got my downpipe extended and a wideband bung for 30 bucks at my local muffler man. Nice welds and he painted them after the weld aswell

Before Ebay companies, my friend bought Tsudo's cat-back for his '97 Prelude (this was about 7 years ago) and it fit perfectly. If you're going to buy a cheaper-brand, Tsudo is the one to go with.

Other than price, there is a disadvantage in having a shop bend the exhaust over having them weld. When you take a pipe for example that is 3inchs in diameter and bend it, it is no long 3inchs in that bend. It become 2.75 and in an extreme bend 2.50. When the exhaust pipe is welded in the curves, it maintains its 3inch shape throughout. It all depends on whether your going for looks or performance.

Don't let a shop press-bend the pipe. Many shops have mandrel benders - prefer those shops that do.
