I like the sound of it. Any more pics of it from a little farther away? I'm curious as to how the round tips look.

Very nice! Did it fit easy or was it a hardball to install? It does look great for the price, and sounds even better!

I hear ya!! I did a pretty much custom exhaust in a local shop. The sound was great, but the dronning gave me a headache. I had to put a resonator on it and it did help lower the dronning! Still, the TSUDO does look and sounds nice, I believe it's a bang for the buck!!

i dont have any drone love the noise i will do a sound clip sometime this week im down and out rite now just had my tonsils removed 6 hrs ago and i will get more pics from the rear.....as for pull you can def tell theres a little more from stock, i thought about putting quads tips on it before i put it on but i kinda like the way the round tips give the rear a different look and install was easy i did it in my apt complex on jack stands.

Hey akertulis, I just put the Tsudo on and everythig worked out! I'm with you, it sounds MINT! I don't know about you but paired with the Jpipe and High Flow Cats it definitely woke the car up!
It's funny how a lot of guys bashed this exhaust, and I know it's too early to tell ong term, but I think for the $ you got a SMOKIN deal and even though I bought mine new it still is a good deal to me.

^Mark rite? if so then thats awesome man glad you got it to bolt up and i can def feel a less restrictivness with adding that up the hfpc and jpipe.....and yea i know there was some ppl bashing it but to all their own and like we talked about we have 100 plus k on the car and dont want spend grand on an exhaust and for the money the tsudo is def well worth it. i would do it again down the road. i dont kno if you have them yet but add a cold air intake and an underdrive pulley to give you a few extra hp man

the exhaust is going to sound real good since you have hfpcds and a v3 j pipe BUT if you had this exhaust by it self...it would sound like crap

theres no drone with this exhaust because its quieter than a comptech. Curious to see how long these exhausts actually last for considering the low price they sell these for brand new

Not to answer for you akertulis, but I also have the left muffler hanging lower and a friend said that advanced auto (or probly any auto or muffler shop) sells a flanged pipe to fit between Jpipe and exhuast to add some length and even those cans out.

well i bought mine off the black market from a guy who ran his with no add ons and said he loved the sound of it and as for the left hanging lower thats because thats where its suppose to sit my right one is sitting higher because when i bought it off the TL owner the right muffler hanger was broken off and i had it welded on before put on car and i like how it sits higher so im goin to have to left side pulled higher....as for the flang being added i dont know if its def needed on my car but where the pipe splits between the mufflers it does hit the frame a little bit so i am going to look into that tomorrow when i take it into the muffler shop....as for the steel its made out of i honeslty dont know but i bought it used for $150 so i think it was well worth the buy and it looks like its in great shape and i dont plan on upgrading unless needed because i am very happy with the sound quality

I bought the powder---put it in a cup and added some water. The liquid would be easier.
