I have the Tsudo exhaust also, Im thinking on going with Weapon-R header combo and leave the stock scuba in place or maybe add a Hi flow cat and res. I know the tone is def gonna go up.

It was so damn loud, i had to get rid of it

I've got the CXR header and TRD axle-back with oem s-pipe and scuba tank. Adding the header nade it louder but not loud, if you know what I mean.

I can't complain for $135 shipped. My butt dyno and ears like them and they're holding up just fine so far. Despite what some have speculated about headers, the underhood temp hasn't changed at all. Those heat shields on the oem header still radiate all that heat to the surrounding air just like these do. IMO, ceramic coating or wrap are the only effective ways to reduce that.
