I saw this on ebay. It's arguably cheaper than what others here seem to prefer, Strup, Greddy... And i was just wondering, besides sound (which is one concern), how do these fare? Has anyone bought an exhaust on ebay that wasn't "name brand" and it turned out fine? Welding was good? Installation was easy? Had a nice tone?

I'm just wondering, I don't have tons of money to spend, actually, I don't have any, but I'm saving up. I was just wondering what was everyones opinion on it.

But yeah, a nice clean deep tone was one concern, the other was to add a little more response, I think the 10-15hp increase is bs, but hey a few more couldn't hurt...

 

i'm getting the strup b/c of the sound. i don't really care about the price, just how i'm going to install it.

 

Yeah I mean, with a design thats nearly the same, how much different can it sound? I just hate that high pitched rice rocket wizzing sound that comes from exhausts (the kinds you see on civics!) I don't even want to to be like, wake the neighbors loud, I just think it would be nice to add a little more low end and give my car a boost. I don't wanna spend hella money.

 

Part of it is probably paying for the name. You pay a premium to get to say that you have a greddy or whatever name brand you choose. I picked up a hayame exhaust which sounds pretty good and was decently cheap i supppose. Good luck

 

why not get a Tsudo for 1$ more

I just ordered a Tsudo for my Tc & it should be here in the next few days. Also there are a few sponsors that sell Tsudo on here & may be able to beat that ebay price. Search Tsudo on here to get the sellers.

Clip of just an axle back (not cat back) on an xA

I know this exhaust has been a little contoversial between good & rice but I like the sound of it & it is just one more for you to consider. To each their own ya know

 

By the way, check with the seller of that N-1 just to be sure before you purchase. They are calling it a cat back, but the pic looks like an axle back to me. I would ask just to be sure he did not do a typing error on his ebay post, mainly due to the price.

Price seems really low for a full catback

 

if you dont wanna spend much def get the Tsudo. Mines great, good sound, slightly noticeable butt dyno. An axlebacks an axleback, they only look and sound different. Got it on ebay for like 150 shipped

 

I'm not familiar with Tsudo. I'm not exactly the kind of person that knows alot about this, I just like the sound haha. I just don't want the typical ricer sound, the video of the xA seemed pretty nice, I was digging it. Thanks, I will definitely consider that too.

 

What the diffenence between Axel back and cat back?

 

I've been confused on that also. I was looking up definitions and it was confusing me.

 

quick answer is cat back runs all the way up to the catalytic converter and supposedly produces more pwerful results but only a couple, like 1 or 2 manufacturers, make it. Magnalfow being most popular. If you want a cheap cat back get it done custom at a muffler shop, otherwise put out 400-500 bucks. Axleback just bolts on well, from the axle, easy mod, still works fine. Most exhausts sold are axleback.

 

Thats what I figured. I just noticed one was longer than the other so I figured you were replacing more pipes =P

 

i have that exaust on my xb, but i did not get it from ebay. i love this exaust it is loud but after i get to about 3500-4000rpm i cant hear the droan. the only thing is the hangers needed to be bent to have it out the hole with out burning the sides of the rear lip


all in all very good for the price

 

Not trying to thread jack, but if you are looking for a Strup I'm selling one at $220 shipped.

i purchased my tsudo exahust from ebay for about 125 shipped a couple of months ago. Easy install, sounds great and increased the power a little bit, not much but well worth it.

 

Tsudo FTW for the cheapness!!

 

My Tsudo is great....it was a bit to soft at first but i got louder after having it on a bit.

 

quick question kinda off topic. but does the tsudo burn the rear lip afterawhile.

 

when you say easy install...would i need to go and buy extra nuts and bolts or does it come with everything you'd need to install it properly?

thanks in advance

also has anyone tried this exhaust off of SSuperstore.com?

I have the N-1....bought it at ssuperstore.com for $109...it was an easy install and mine didn't need any modification with the hangers..the tip fell dead center in the rear spoiler cut out and it sounds great to me...nice deep rumble.
