The other day www.speed-element.com used my car to test fit some parts and the owner asked me if is a demand for a True 3'' exhaust. I said yes as long as the price is right. The exhaust will be made by Tsudo, so you know it will be good quality with an even better price.

I'm here to ask what are you guys looking for in an exhaust?

Do you want dual exhaust? No mufflers just resonators? How big of a Tip would you like? How big of a resonator do you want? What muffler would you like?

The exhaust will be a true 3 inch exhaust, meaning that some modification MIGHT need to be done to make it fit. Mostly dealing with the exhaust heat shields. Its not for sure that modification would need to be done, but the exhaust shop said that it MIGHT need to be done. We just want to know if this would bother potential buyers enough not to purchase the exhaust.

I hope to get a lot of feedback on this, Post up any suggestions you might have

Thanks

 

s-pipe + catback yes. as oem looking as possible. you have my $

 

Any thoughts on Resonators or mufflers?

 

none.. my turbo sounds better

 

I agree with recliner15 aswell as I want it quiet too. I dont want everyone to know there is anything besides a front lip done to my car.

 

wow...hey recliner, where's my valve cover? today's the deadline man...
sorry didn't mean to thread jack

 

same as the current 2.5 with at 20 inch res.....same axle back portion with the same 4.5 tip

 

What turned me off of the tsudo exhaust was the angle and massive muffler. To me, it doesn't look all that great unless accompanied by a rear lip or new bumper, like with a body kit. I think you would get a LOT of sales if you used a smaller canister that sits straight, though it would be dificult to bend a 3" to make that work. If not that, a 3" round tip and 8" resonator would be good as well.

My $.02

 

^^^^^^ make that 18" not 8"

 

just straight through 3" pipe with oem tip.

 

I personally would like atleast a resonator. I like it quiet. Also I would not mind the OEM tip but the OEM muffler configuration I do not like.

 

Agreed. Quiet but not too restrictive.

 

The tsudo n1 comes with I think 12 or 18" resonator already, then I have to had another resonator to quiet it down, now it sounds awesome and not to loud. Maybe a 30" resonator would be good for 3" piping. Yeah a non angled one would be nice although the tsudo n1 is the least angled of all the angled exhaust, the exhaust tip size is just perfect IMO. And lastly better quality steel/polish.

 

Keep the suggestions coming

The Exhaust will be but exactly how you guys want it!

Thanks to everyone who posted

 

OEM tip please.

 

If you have a turbo there is no need for a resonator.. you are not going to expierence any rasp.
They should make 2 kinds

Straight Muffler
Straight pipe w/polished tip (OEM look)

 

its not about the rasp, its about the loudness. but yea straight and nice polish x2 there

 

What about this:
You guys offer a 3" exhaust specified by each individual customer. Kinda like how dezod offers their s1 kit with different options on everything you get. You could have options for instance an oem or 3" tip, canister muffler or oem style muffler, resonator or no resonator. Production cost and time to build each individual exhaust might outweigh the benefits, but it's just a thought on a way to keep everyone happy. At the very least, you could be like ark and offer an oem style and a canister style, except at a more reasonable price lol. I'll probably never be turbo, just my expressing my thoughts.

 

Thats a great idea, but the exhaust will be made in Japan by Tsudo, the only thing speed-element.com will be doing is making the prototype and then it will be sent to Tsudo for Production.

If it was going to be built in house by speed-element.com im sure we would be able to offer this, but unfortunitly im going to assume this wont be an option

So far it seems most people want an OEM looking exhaust with al least one resonator. This is good as it will keep costs down.

Any thoughts on the resonators size? Im going to say at least 20'', what do you guys want?

 

being in cali, as you are and i am i would want something as stock looking as possible.

ya a canister looks cool and all, but if your running any kind of non stock set up, you dont wanna draw attention to yourself.

i would want a 3" s-pipe back exhaust with a straight midpipe, and a transversely mounted muffler with a 4" tip or so.

thats just how i would do it, if i were to make my own exhaust, which i have made plenty of lol
