I recorded the video on my micro 4/3rd's. I'll have to see if the GoPro will do any justice. The sound from the GoPro sounds muted without an external mic and I don't think my wife is too interested to be standing outside with the camera.

So with my son and wife's complaints, I played around with this set up to make it a bit more family friendly in the cabin. First attempt was taking off the Tsudo test pipe and running the exhaust with the OEM 2nd cat. It helped a bit, but still got annoying on long drives. Went in yesterday and had the Tsudo resonator replaced with a generic 18" long resonator. The exhaust sound from the rear is down a notch, but definately did it's trick inside the cabin. The low rumble is still heard, but its no longer annoying and overpowering conversations.
Did I defeat the purpose of adding an aftermarket exhaust? Probably, but I found the middle ground that works for me. More sound presence on the outside while still tolerable on the inside.

Cool vid, but you should place your phone um 20 inches at a 45 degree angle(?) from the exhaust to get some "better" readings i guess lol.

I tried moving the phone around for the best results. The sound pick up stays the same. Its a limitation of the phone. I used it to give you guys a reference point since all camera's record different + youtube chops up the sound quality.

It's definitely a lot more tolerable after taking off Tsudo's test pipe and putting on a longer resonator. It fits the car's profile more and doesn't sound obnoxious. I was always conscious of stepping on the gas with my family in the car before tinkering to get the right sound. Just did a 13 hour road trip and no one got annoyed/bothered by the exhaust note.
But this happened, an hour away from home, so no car. A deer wanted to get a close up.

it looks like the damage isn't too bad though.

We're all ok. Lucky it was a small 20-25lb deer. Air bags didn't deploy. Quoted $5500 in parts, $2500 in labor. Insurance and the shop won't give me the Hella horns back. I couldn't get any tools under the busted hood to remove them before the tow.
Man, I do miss driving my car. Rolling around in a 03 Nissan Frontier. Talk about underpowered and undersized braking components.

It's stupid droney with the test pipe on. Ran with it for a day and quickly put the 2nd cat back on. Sound resonates into the cabin like crazy. My 18 yr old self would've enjoyed it. No offense to the young owners.

My biggest fear since I move from south Florida to GA last summer. Can't tell you how many times I see them in the early AM crossing 369. Fixing to get a runner soon so this this not happen to me. Hope they fixed your car like it never happened. If you have any say in the matter of who repairs its, please use this to your advantage >> Acura Body Shop Locator: Recognized Collision Repair Center

Thread revival.
Has anyone bought through SE motors?
Im debating Tsudo with SE for $460
or a Tanabe exhaust with TH motorsports for $800
Any help would be appreciated

tsudo catback installed
so im sure most of you guys are aware of the Tsudo Cat-Back system that is now available for our 2g's....my question is this...has anyone installed this cat-back as of yet? if so i would love to see a vid of how it sounds...my youtube results proved futile.... also, discussion...how do you guys feel about a $500 cat-back system? im afraid it will sound ricey....the tips looks a tad too big for my taste but i could live with...it does have a resonator....but if it sounds too loud a vibrant ultra quiet would probably do the trick...what do yall think? cause $500 is tempting...lot cheaper than the Fujitsubo... for the record ill never spend more than 1k on an exhaust...ill get it custom made before that...lol but this Tsudo one seems like it has potiential..
