Looks like $520 shipped on Ebay, watched a couple Youtube vids doesn't sound to bad..

 

anyone have the xlr8 j pipe hooked up to this?

 

This exhaust should bolt up to any J-Pipe/cat setup you buy.

 

read this whole thread....

is there any noticeable HP gains or is it just a noise maker??? i have a jpipe and CAI.

 

I read this whole thread too. Anyone with Dyno results OR feedback on having the exhaust for a couple years including winters? I try not to drive my TL in the winter but its hard not to where I live. Also, has anyone fitted quad tips on it? I have the aero/aspec kit? (I forgot the terminology) will it fit good with the body kit? I want something louder than stock but not too loud or raspy with minimal drone and this isn't looking bad. I too have funds for ATLP quads (which I really want) but I can't justify the price.... I have other expensive Hobbies as well I.e. atv's, djing, snowboarding etc.. That I could definitely put that extra $500 towards. Also, I have been in the black market and people sell the big name ones for normally no less than $900..... I have a very hard time finding them still for sale as well as justifying 900 for a used exhaust.. It's not a race car as stated above. If you were going to gut it, rebuild it, and track it, go ahead.

 

r u serious?? I thought we would want it to be loud all the time....or is it better it being quiter at higher speeds cause nobody else can really listen to it anyways & we don't want to give ourselves a headache

 

do you guys know if i take different muffler tips to this would i make a difference? or removing the resonator and welding a straight pipe or a magnaflow or dynomax resonator will make it sound even deeper? and less drone

 

Just getting peoples opinions on my options; As per GuLuMoNeY's recommendation, I took the TL to a local muffler shop, seemed to be a decent fella; his recommendation was to go with a custom exhaust made at his shop vs. buying a ready made one from XLR8 or Tsudo or gReddy (the last being the one I really would have loved to have!!). I showed him this youtube video as this is what I want - He recommends using a 3" pipe (I need to confirm material on the pipe) crush bent in his shop with magnaflow mufflers that will look and sound similar to the gReddy - all installed for $575!! (He said he'd let me try out the system without resonator) and if it's too loud then he'll place the res no charge; Also he showed me some options for drone that he could do at an additional cost ($70); It would be great to have your guys's opinions as to my options

 

I just bought another TL and will be getting the Tsudo again. It sounded great. As for Dyno, I never put it on one until the full exhaust was on (inc. cat delete) and supercharger. Also I dont see what would change in the sound by changing to the dual tip.

 

i love my Tsudo on my accord. sounds great.

 

Just ordered my Tsudo exhaust from speed element for $429.00 shipped. I will post pics, vids, and a review once it is installed.

 

Thats an awesome price! Do you have a link?

 

+1

 

Sorry for late reply! Use coupon code SEMO at speed element! 20% off

--ALSO, do you guys use the hardware that comes with it? Are the bolts at least zinc coated or stainless for future removal? Are the gaskets OK? Are there any needs for clamps? I'm getting a J-pipe as soon as I find a deal. Thanks!

 

What do you think of the tsudo exhaust now?

 

TLDub: the bolts and gaskets are great.

Simplyclean: I sold my TL in 2010 with this exhaust on it. Its been through 3 WI winters and still looks and performs great with no problems at all.

 

^that's great to hear it has survived these harsh Winters! Reppin WI here.. the weather has been crap even now that its soupposedly summer.. another question.. will xlr8 test pipe work with the stock jpipe and tsudo cat back until I get a jpipe? Or will I need an aftermarket jpipe for it to fit? Thanks

 

Did you consider selling the exhaust separate from TL? Did you sell it SC'd as well? Was it harder to sell or did you lose much money with the modifications? Thanks

 

From reading through this thread, I've noticed a few members mention exhaust drone at times. Specifically, I'd like to know how the drone is at highway speeds on the 6MT (approx 2300 - 2700 RPMS)??

I commute daily on the highway and the last thing I want to hear is a strong, humming drone during my drive. I'm about to pull the trigger on this catback system based on all the comments thus far, however my drone question is holding me up. Appreciate anyone's comments. Thanks!

P.S. If anyone was wondering, I currently have the Stage 1 exhaust mod setup (mid-muffler delete) and have an exhaust leak at the weld of the hanger attaching the straight pipe. Rather than pay to fix the issue, I figured now is a good excuse to try out the Tsudo system because I am ultimately trying to achieve a subtle, low-pitched exhaust tone (hence my reasoning for performing the Stage 1).

 

I sold the S/C, Meth kit, PCD, J Pipe, and springs on here. I sold the car with the A-spec, 19's, and Exhaust for an extra 2,000.00 on the car. So I thought that was a pretty good deal. (I sold the car with the navi conversion on it too but go paid 2k over what I paid for the car a year earlier with 10k miles more).

As for drone, I never had much on the highway. I do also have a 5at so I am not sure if it will be different. You would hear it you tried to speed up to pass someone. I never got any bad feedback on it other then from my mom when she was in the back seat on a trip. Keep in mind I did have PCD and a J-Pipe (high flow 3rd cat)

 

Thanks for your feedback. From reseaching the past few days and reading through all of the Tsudo exhaust threads, I decided to pull the trigger and purchase the kit! I'm excited to get on my car and will reply on this thread with my thoughts/opinions .

 

I've decided to go with the Tsudo as well but SEMO code doesn't work anymore on speed element :/ Anyone have a new discount code for maximum savings?

 

^^ i am also going to get the tsudo soon so if anyone has a new discount code please post it

 

I also ran into the same issue. To get the discount, you have to visit the new webpage of Speed Element Motor Sports: www.semotors.com. SEMO is still the correct code, but it's for $20 off, not 20% as mentioned in a previous post.

Anyway, you two are going to be stoked on your purchase because this system sounds great! Subtle, but a nice, deep tone which is exactly what I was going for

 

Really nice unit. Sounds awesome. I've sold a few and will be posting my personal thread with dyno's soon.

 

Forgot to add that this catback has a resonator already.
And cat back fitment is right on. No issues.

 

Just ordered my Tsudo exhaust from semotors.com Used the semo promo code and saved $20... so $429.00 shipped is a sweet deal! Stoked and can't wait for it to get here! Ill post a video as soon as I can.

 

Cant beat 429.00 shipped for a great quality exhaust that sounds awesome!

 

That's what I'm sayin! Bargain!

 

If any1 is serious about this exhaust PM me, I can do better than $429!

 

^^^ Wow! Really? How much could lower could you do bro?

 

^^^ i'd like top know as well..pm'd him but no reply

 

Ugh! Im dying to know! lol

 

This seems like BS... Ill send a PM as well and see if He/She will answer.

 

Sounds too good to be true what did you find out?

Ive been doing research and think i'm going to go with Tsudo myself

 

sent him a pm two weeks ago..he replied and I asked him another question and hes disappeared since...

 

Ya well, im more interested now as the sale I had with semotors.com has fallen through. I ordered and paid for the exhaust on 7/14. Since then, I have gotten very vague emails about when my exhaust would get to my door. Finally, YESTERDAY... I get an email saying that they do not have any in stock, and their stock wont be replenished for another month! They offered me 10% off, but I don't get protected after 45 days with paypal and I don't know, just seems sketchy to me. I canceled the order and am awaiting my refund. Never have dealt with semotors before, and never will again Needless to say, I am still in the market for an exhaust.

 

Wow and I was just about to order from them too! I hope they give you a refund keep is posted... I am also looking for an exhaust something around that price if possible.

 

I got my refund yesterday. I waited a couple of days, then just decided to call the number that they had listed on paypal and got my refund immediately. So I got my money back, but am still without a system; still looking. Ya, def don't go with semotors man, unless you wanna wait and maybe not get it. lol

 

so none of you guys have been able to get your hand on the Tsudo? If so please post some sound clips etc. Thanks!
