Hey folks, I had a weekend off so I installed the Tsudo exhaust on my 11' xB2 this Saturday. Truly was 100% bolt on. Biggest pain was fighting to get the stock exhaust off while laying in my driveway. (pro tip: take it all the way apart and do not try to snake the hole thing over and through the rear suspension). No other engine mods/bolt-ons so far. It's a very mellow sounding exhaust, I was worried about it sounding too "ricey". Passenger side is about 1/2"-1" Lower than drivers side, but with how low these vehicles sit, it's pretty hard to notice, so I won't be shimming.

Looks good ! Make sure you have very good clearance between the top of the crossover pipe and the bottom of the black plastic EVAP tank -- you don't want to heat it.

Thanks guys. Trevor, I made sure there was a decent clearance, I wound up with about an inch gap after some adjustments to the drivers side exhaust pipe where it bolts to the rest of the system.

Bit late asking I guess, but maybe you could help me with a question. I'm guessing you have the newer Tsudo Dual Fireball which is 5-Axis body kit compatible (original wasn't). If that's true, do the hanger bushings still extend inside of the frame rails (like the original) or do they extend outward toward the wheels?

I'll go take a picture.

Thanks, I appreciate your help !

Well, by the time could take a break at work, it was too dark. The hangers on the exhaust are bent towards the middle of the car. The hangers on mine still run the same direction as the subframe rails.

Goatee

Correction: the bushings and bushing mounts are in line with the frame.

Thanks! Just to make sure I understand, here're a couple photos of my setup. First is the driver side from the rear, the second the passenger side.




As you see, both brackets containing the round bushings position the bushings so they mostly extend beyond the chassis rails and towards the center line of the car.

So, if I interpret you correctly. On yours, the bushings themselves are fully under the chassis rails with their brackets aligned lengthwise with the rails. Whereas my hangers bend towards the front of the car, yours bend towards the car center line. Do I have it right?

Goatee

Correct, my bushings are completely under the rails, not left to right like yours.

Great, thanks very much -- I really appreciate your assistance ! It appears to me your 5-Axis Tsudo fireball hanger layout is fully compatible with a trailer hitch, unlike my original version. This info should be helpful to others -- thanks again !

Goatee

No problem at all. If any measurements are needed, let me know.

nice nice. i know this system has a nice deep tone but how does it sound from inside? ive been pretty interested in getting this setup

Goatee

Versus stock, it's noticeable, but not intrusive or obnoxious at all.

At highway speeds (50mph & up) you really have to pay attention to be able to hear it.

dshiznit

good to know, good to know. now just to find some money ha.

lookin pretty sweet btw

Goatee

No problem, and thank you.
