what happens if its your turn for a smog check, would you take the whole exhaust system out and put back in the stock?

 

i dont think it matters over there in arizona.. only cali butt holes

 

im trying to install my tsudo n1 tonight but i ran into a problem. did your exhaust come with bolts for the the canister/second midpipe connection? im assuming you had to use the spring bolts but the nut from the stock exhaust is welding on.

here is what im talking about:


here is the pic of the tsudo n1. the connection circled in yellow did not come with bolts, so i was assuming that i had to reuse the spring loaded nuts and bolts.


here is the OEM exhaust. the thing boxed is the portion i am referring to. below is a close up.


right here where i am having problems with. the red circles are the nuts that are spot welded onto the OEM exhaust. i need those for the spring loaded bolts (circled in green).

can you help me out. what should i do??!! i'm running an open s-pipe which sounds cool cuz my car sounds like a true muscle car, but it attracts cops.

 

new bolts should had came with the kit. On mine I end up not using the spring bolts.

 

use the bolt and nuts that it came with, where the stock spipe connects to the new midpipe, use the stock bolts to connect it togther and use the bolt and nut that was originally on the new midpipe for the rear.

 

alright cool. thanks for the help. my first big mod install.

 

anyone have any idea how to remove the silencer from the tsudo exhausts? i broke 2 screw drivers while trying to do so. the exhaust sounds great tho, i love it and it is inexpensive

 

take these out


take out that top piece of the silencer.


then in the middle, there should be a small part of the pipe inside the silencer that is sticking out. use a vice grip to clamp down on the pipe.


then take and second set of plyers or vice grips and clamp it down on the handle of the first vice grip you placed on the pipe. then take a hammer and just hammer it out.

 

hey is this a axle-back??? i was interested in this exhaust but didn't know if it was worth it

 

Title says "Catback"...

 

This is a S-pipe back.

 

ha...wow feel stupid. sorry i was reading like 3 other posts.... ok well..... yeah. so is this exhaust worth it. i have a DC sport header and sounds like crap so i want a exhaust to help with the sound

 

yup.. its an s-pipe back exhaust. its not a true "cat back" but it prolly performs better than most, and its not too expensive.

best bang for the buck if you ask me

 

I also have this exhaust and love it, fitment is very good but it does sit very high against the bumper.. easy fix with a slightly longer rubber exhaust hanger, gains are also noticable over the hks hi-power on a otherwise stock N/A tc, two thumbs up!

 

just curious, but what makes an exhaust a true "cat back."

 

the car would have to retain the cat... which in our case is the second cat, our primary cat is built into the header. the tsudo "catback" accualy eliminates the second cat and connects directly to the s-pipe itself.

 

yup.. a true catback would be any of the ARK exhaust or the magnaflow.

basically you cut the stock midpipe right behind the cat and you clamp on teh new one.

who wants to cut up their stock parts tho?

 

cool, now i know.

 

Can we get a sound clip?
