hahah yeah it will be much easier with a lift and air tools. i did everything manually with hand tools andjack stands.. i was practically injured with my sprained hand but i was surprised that it was really functional. other than that.. i had to do everything lying down haha. one of the s pipe bolts is hard to access.. but im sure it will be easier with air tools. i couldnt take video clips today cuz i was busy all day.

that is clean. im for sure going to buy that this summer after getting my suspension parts.

if you claim it to be very loud, how do you think it will sound with aw headers, or with a turbo kit?!

anyways, like everyone else i want to hear it!!

The exhaust is loud.. so I wouldn't recommend this to those that want their car quiet. But, the silencer quiets it up. Without it.. it's 3x louder. I better watch out for the popo's.
you gotta love cali po's.

SORRY guys. I've been realllllly busy lately (work and overtime.. gotta pay off the loan for the turbonetics kit I got ). but i'll find some time this week to get those clips for you. Im planning to use this catback with my turbo but I might change the piping.. i dunno yet.

anyway, I came across an exhaust leak.. i was cleaning my car today and was wondering how the bolts were holding up. so i started up the car, then put my hand over the axleback and midpipe connection and felt some leaks.. what i did was take off the donut gasket that it came with.. and replaced it with the OEM one. the OEM fits way better.. the donut gasket that came with it makes the piping connection spaced out and no matter how tight you bolt it up, there's still a leak. but it's fixed now..

I thought it was done from there, but I found out that one of the bolts from the midpipe was missing! and im sure i screwed everything tightly. so i bolted that back up.. hopefully it stays on this time.

ill keep you guys updated.

well, from what aznrac3rpoi said.. you should ALWAYS expect rasp with headers.. a resonator will fix that up.

KJIN has a turbo kit with this catback and he said it's raspy.. but loud. but he did recommend a Resonator as well, and that will cure the rasp sound.

so if you dont want rasp, the solution is a resonator.

A high flow cat on the midpipe would help too.

i just got my exhaust installed todai... i'll check later for any leaks on the exhaust... i hope there are none.
So far it sounds freaking awsome, and i still got the silencer on.... i'll take it off when i get the time... i'll also get a 4" hangar kuz it hangs to close to the bumper for my comfort.... but yeah, its a realli good exhaust.

nice. just try to push down on it.. it was on my bumper too. until i pushed down on it, then it looked fine from there..

if you think it sounds awesome WITH the silencer, you'll love it without.. but it's gonna be loud. haha.

did you install it? or got someone to do it.

i might go to a shop for a second opinion on the exhaust leak.. i re-tightened everything yesterday.


are you using the donut gasket that tsudo provided? (the round metal piece that you put on the midpipe to axleback connection..) or did you re-use the stock one? with the donut gasket that came with the catback, i experienced an exhaust leak.. and it was harder to close up, leaving a little space in between the piping connection. with the stock OEM donut gasket, it was able to sit flush in the piping and i was able to bolt it up pretty tight without leaving a space in between the pipe connections. check it out.

anyways, other than the silencer, i have NO complaints for Tsudo. I lowered the exhaust by pushing down on the tip and stretching the hangar... ima get 4" on wednsday. I'll also have the silencer off on wednsaday and then i'll post up some sexi pics of the Tsudo and Ami ( the car ).

what's the best place to get a high flow cat? i may need it in the long run..

since the tsudo catback only comes with a resonator.. would adding this "high flow cat" legalize this catback considering that it never came with one?
