Default Just installed Tsudo Burnt tip Catback (Pics & VID)

i ordered a Tsudo catback with the burnt tip from speed element about 2 weeks ago and it finally came in yesterday. I already had my tools out before Fedex even got here. Actually... The car was jacked up before fedex got here lol. i opened the box to find a nice sexy!!! RAWR... Titanium COUGH COUGH burnt tip... Catback. I paid about $263.00 including shipping. I got the stock exhaust off pretty easily since i have air tools , But those damn exhaust hangers are a pain the butt. Everything mounted up right but there was two problems that are common with MOST tsudo catbacks.
1) The resonator hit the exhaust heat shield bolt. So what i did was take the heat shield off and cut the bolt off. who needs that damn heat shield anyway.
2) The muffler hit the bumper like usual. So i went to autozone and bought a longer exhaust hanger, Those rubber ones. Cost me about $4.00. I tried the socket trick but that didnt bring it down low enough. I also noticed after putting the new hanger on that the muffler didnt come out straight with the bumper indent. so i took some muffler strap and pulled the metal hanger which ever way it needed to.
OVERALL i give the install a 3/5
Quality- 4/5
Value 5/5
Sound 4/5 Its kinda loud.
VIDEO!!!
One thing that does not come with the burnt tip tsudo that i kinda wish did is a silencer. Im not sure if tsudo does that with all their exhaust, but i didnt get one
Instead i went on ebay and bought one for about $9.00 shipped. I never liked the look of that tornado looking silencer from tsudo anyway.

Looks and sounds good. It is a little loud, but you should update this when you put the silencer in. I'd be interested in hearing again then.
