View Full Version : TSUDO xB Fireball Axleback
speedelement 03-16-2007, 06:51 AM Update: New xB pics/soundclip @ bottom. xA does not fit correctly. xB fits 100% perfectly no problems
Hey, we tried fitting a xB fireball axleback onto a xA and this is the result...

Video Clip (requires some halfway decent bassy speakers or headphones, playing it on my notebook makes it sound really bad)

We were hoping it would fit perfectly without modification, but just ended up a soundclip for a Tsudo fireball exhaust for xB.
Who knows, maybe a xA axleback in the future??
Enjoy yo!
Update: Thanks to Dwatts5250.
Just need jack, jackstand, 12mm socket, and something to pry the exhaust hangars with. Cardboard and gloves are optional if you want to stay clean. Takes about 30 minutes if you're slow like me. :)

Again, get some decent bassy speakers/headphones on this, or else you'll just get some crappy buzzing. The exhaust note is deep!

DriverXa 03-16-2007, 04:30 PM sounds awesome. what kind of modifications did u have to make to get it to work. from the pix it looks like it was made for the car, good job.
speedelement 03-16-2007, 10:14 PM The hangar was too low on the muffler so we had to push it up and the piping wasnt an exact perfect fit after that. We used zip ties to hold the hangars together, but of course replacing it with a metal clamp would make it more permanent.
OakToddler 03-18-2007, 12:20 AM WOW.
The welds on that exhaust look way better than my DC Sport exhaust.
Nice quality looking exhaust.
burstaneurysm 03-18-2007, 12:43 AM This will fit the xB with no modifications, correct?
speedelement 03-18-2007, 01:39 AM yes of course, originally designed for xB.
burstaneurysm 03-18-2007, 01:48 AM Sweet, this one isn't going to vanish like the N1 is it?
speedelement 03-18-2007, 09:12 AM Well we have a decent stock of them (fireball), and until recently we had the N1... we are trying to get as many applications from Tsudo as possible.
Big_Bird 03-21-2007, 05:33 PM did that xA, have any other mods, or was that just the exhaust?
speedelement 03-21-2007, 05:51 PM the xA was stock, just swapped the axleback.
Thirty-Nine 03-21-2007, 07:40 PM I had a Tsudo exhaust on my Honda Prelude, and it was a great bang for the buck. I could've bought two Tsudos for the price of one Greddy. And now that I think about it, I got it from Speedelement via eBay. Good seller!
robbiej 03-23-2007, 08:42 PM like that exhaust, too bad its not a direct fit for the xA
speedelement 04-12-2007, 07:34 PM bump for anyone interested.
06rolladood 04-12-2007, 07:38 PM i kno its ot but you have one for the 9thgen rolla ? mebbe able to sell tons of them! :p
speedelement 04-16-2007, 08:04 PM we did have fireball for 98-02 and 03-06 corolla but tsudo hasnt made another batch yet for some reason. only have n1 at the moment.
hxckid88 04-17-2007, 05:25 AM I'm definitely gonna order one of those for my box. I can probably do it within the next 2 months or so. I'm diggin the look and sound but I can't afford anything over $250. how much shipped from speed element?
speedelement 04-17-2007, 06:49 PM i dont think we're allowed to post up prices directly? sponsor thread:
wayyy below $250.

hxckid88 04-17-2007, 07:19 PM yeah looks like its at $150 but i was curious if the shipping was less than $100. i would assume like $30-50 to ship something that size and weight?
speedelement 04-18-2007, 01:20 AM that is the shipped price to anywhere in 48US. CA will have tax though.
NothingElseWillDo 04-30-2007, 10:09 PM what exactly is the difference in the fireball and the N1. I just bought an axleback for my girlfriends XB, hope it sounds as good as the video. What else is on the car in the vid?
speedelement 05-01-2007, 04:55 AM nothing modified on the car, completely stock.
N1 is a bigger canister, which is slightly quieter. some people might or might not want the big 4.5" tip on it.
NothingElseWillDo 05-01-2007, 03:46 PM gracias.
Bigbear 06-14-2007, 09:47 PM Wow.. that thing sounds nice... I can't wait for my next paycheck :)
Blacklisted 06-22-2007, 11:07 PM how in the world do you get the silencer out?
i tried a clothes hanger and it wouldnt even budge
speedelement 06-23-2007, 02:07 AM I used a tire iron from a mercury villager aka nissan quest, it has a small T at the end of it that perfectly fits in the silencer hole. Then just pulled/hammered it out with that.
FYI fireball is completely out of stock.
Blacklisted 06-23-2007, 06:12 AM FYI fireball is completely out of stock.
so happy i got the last one :P
ill have to try and find something that will get that silencer out...
Dwatts5250 06-27-2007, 07:52 PM I am LOVING mine!! Nice low rumble to it.
Thanks again SpeedElement!
chuck1073 07-02-2007, 10:24 AM For the fitment issues on the xA there is an easy work around. If you look at the rear rubber hanger you'll notice that it's got quite a number of openings in it. Simply use the rear-most opening just below the point where the body mount goes thru the hanger. You still have the vibration isolation of the stock hanger and the exhaust tip will hang about 1" below the bumper.
BTW - I got my Tsuedo from speedelement on eBay as well. Very happy with the part and the service. And...no...I didn't paid for this either. :)
Blacklisted 07-06-2007, 04:40 AM anybody else having problems with their exhaust rattling on the body right behind the axle in the first bend?
I cant seem to find a way to get it to stop rattling
candeeXB 07-16-2007, 05:53 PM wow nice price! doesnt soudn too bad also. how's the sound from the inside?
cherryBox 07-16-2007, 06:02 PM please let me know if you are going to be getting these back in stock
speedelement 07-17-2007, 11:11 PM we JUST got 5 back in stock today. ready to ship.
Sorry if I sound like a n00b, but how do these sound at higher rpms? I was sold on the Precision axleback since I've read that it quiets down at higher RPM's, but a more affordable alternative would be nice.
Dwatts5250 07-31-2007, 08:00 PM wow nice price! doesnt sound too bad also. how's the sound from the inside?Its a little throaty at times....like...sudden downshifts, but those are far and few...
But Ive got no complaints.
Thank You Speed Element for the exhaust. Just installed mine today. Sounds nice. This is my first aftermarket exhaust so I really didn't know what to expect. I have to admit that it seems louder than I imagined with the silencer. Oh well. gives me an excuse to buy a better sound system. :lalala:
Fitment was nice and install took about an hour. Might have been less if I had a real floor jack.
My only concern is the clearance from the top of the tip to my bumper is about 3/4". That tip gets pretty hot and I'm a little concerned with burning my bumper? should it be ok?
speedelement 08-14-2007, 07:57 PM Is the tip touching the bumper? Because the tip comes out further than the edge of the bumper there is less chance the hot exhaust gas will be able to burn the bumper. Try revving it and seeing if the tip ends up hitting it. Also (if you have an automatic) have someone put the car in drive and hold the car still, there is usually more engine movement at low rpm.
It should not be a problem, but try to check the bumper frequently, making sure the bumper paint is not wrinkling.
no, nothing is hitting. i was just wondering if the 3/4" was typical clearance.
speedelement 08-14-2007, 08:43 PM yea it will sit pretty close like in the test fit pics at the top... so far no problems.
KenzokuXB 09-04-2007, 11:43 PM Has anyone tried to install the Tsudo N1 exhaust on a Kenstyle rear lip?? Want to purchase but worried about the fitment.
speedelement 09-08-2007, 09:36 PM ttt
Reiji_Dorifuta 09-15-2007, 09:17 PM Just purchased one off your eBay store.
Hopefully it'll sound nice on an auto.
DC Sports Header up next!
Reiji_Dorifuta 10-09-2007, 05:38 AM Got the N1 installed instead, still sounds ncie :D
DJ_SpaRky 05-15-2008, 03:20 PM I installed my Fireball last night, looks good, sounds good, but it's hitting the body over the axle, I'm going to take another look at that tonight though. Hopefully it is just something that I misaligned in the clamp or one of the hangers. I'll try to post some pics
DJ_SpaRky 05-16-2008, 01:47 AM Well, I had to loosen the clamp and wedge a screwdriver handle in between the tube and the body and then retighten it. worked like a champ, too bad it was too dark for pics.
