From what I remember of dropping the exhaust on my 05 (RSB) and 07 (trailer hitch), those hangers behind the mufflers don't look right.

10-15 HP is pure bullshit, no exhaust for our car really adds HP. The best gains you'll find will come from a single-exit exhaust. An exhaust is a visual and sound mod, period. That said, for the price, if this thing sounds good I'd definitely go for it. It looks good.

My friend bought a Tsudo exhaust for his tC and it does NOT fit correctly, he had to saw off a part of his bumper so the exhaust wouldn't melt the bumper. also, the whole piping throughout the under part of his car is real wierd looking. No experience with the TSX one though. His Tsudo for tC DOES sound ricey, very raspy and hollow sound.

Actually.. the place I work for (Speed-Element Motorsports) was/is looking for a test fit for this exact reason (many people doubtful of blindly buying it). The shop installing it is in Whittier. Being the first guinea pig will cost you $300 installed.
Same exhaust, different picture:

I got under my 05 and there's no way this thing is right (the exhaust pictured here). There are hangers on the rear of the mufflers themselves, but nothing on the pipes that run from the mufflers to the single pipe that runs down the center of the car. There may be attachment points that the pictured hangers will attach to that aren't used by the OE system, but I didn't see any. I must be missing something here, so I'm curious to hear how this install goes.

This exhaust looks good and the price is right, looks like a skunk2 replica. Tsudo also has another exhaust floating around ebay, which looks like a tanabe replica.
Anyone buy any of these yet? Install?

We sold a couple of them so far... no response as far as problems go...
Not sure on the Tanabe replica, as far as I know they only have one style right now, could just be the sellers keyword spamming.

Don't do it! I had the Tsudo on my old Teg and all I can say is that the fit and finish suck a$$! I had to have an extension added to my cat because the midpipe was to short. Not to mention the muffler never sat straight either. Like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

tsudo exhaust on a 04 tsx 6speed

I just purchased the tsudo exhaust from www.speed-element.com, I was very impressed with the quility and fitment the welds are great and it is polished to the max.It has a very deep tone with the silincers in or out, its pretty loud but sounds great , you can put the silincers in and its just about perfect.To me it looks to be a knockoff of the skunkz mega power exhaust

It is pretty much the Skunk2 exhaust without the higher price. They sound very similar as well.

No bolt on "ADDS" HP. To be politically correct they "FREE" up HP. A cold air intake allows your car to take in more air freely it doesnt physically ADD the power, just frees up a lot of restricted air flow which in turn results in a slight increase in HP. Same with an exhaust manifold and cat-back exhaust. They basically allow your car to take in more air [intake] and release more air [exhaust] An intake and exhaust manifold could hypothetically help your cat-back exhaust free up an additional 10 HP possibly I doubt 15 is realistic for a 4 banger. With a big block V8 it would definatly be possible but not with an inline 4.
