Just get the Borla from http://trdsparks.com/displayparts.ph...&parts_id=1958

It's cheaper, and you'll get it in like 4-5 days. I got tired of waiting for this exhaust after 3 months of it being on preorder and him saying 2 weeks away. Email him, get your money back, and go with the Borla. I freaking love it!!!!

 

$372.88 Vs. $379.95 -- true, a little cheaper, but not enough to get me especially concerned. Plus, the Borla skips resonators whereas the Tsudo has one per exhaust outlet. At least, I'm getting something for the extra $7, regardless of what difference it ultimately makes !

It could well be I'd be just as well off running the factory exhaust. Mine is damaged, but I could replace it for under $170 ! Hey -- we do what we do, and hopefully we're OK with the results!

 

got my set delivered yesterday. installing i t this weekend. post pictures when its done. may be even a sound clip if i have time.

 

there are instructions on the website for you or your installer, you should have also received it in an email from me. thanks!

 

got the email thanks, but i didn't get any tsudo or speed-element motorsports stickers.

 

Hey speedelement, so I talked to you 2 days ago and I was the one that got sent the wrong thing in San Jose. Just wanted to let you know that I sent the box back to you yesterday. I was also wondering when is the soonest I will get the correct system?

 

Well, Got my exhaust and I know aftermarket would not be simple and easy,
Hey its the golden rule of modding. but, it floors me that a company would put out a cool looking dual exhaust and totally strike out with most of the major market its shooting for. Anyone that has a aftermarket body Bomex, 5 axis etc body kit etc... that wants duals exhaust.. welp... unless you want to do major mods to this exhaust to make it fit. Do not buy this kit, it will not fit.




any questions please PM.

 

That sucks. I was hoping it would fit the aftermarket kits as well. I am looking for a dual set up for my Bomex kit and was hoping this would be close. It sounds like it is way off. I am going to stop by RJ's and take a look at it later and see.

Anyone try the Borla on a aftermarket body kit yet? Maybe we should start a sticky on here on what exhausts fit what.

 

^^
hey big J doesn't B-Lonz have the Borla on his?

anyway, you would think that it would tested against an xB with a Five Axis kit so that there's somekind of adjustment that can be done...it's not there's only 5 people out there that has a FIve Axis kit

Whats good any install pic's YET!!!

 

Come on people -- how does this exhaust system sound and look on your cars? I can't even get to mine yet since I'm stuck on the other side of the country, but I'd love to hear from others who've installed it!

I own this exhaust, though it is yet uninstalled. I'd love to hear feedback about this though: in the instructions. there is a cable that needs rerouted. In the final installed pictures the left pipe runs right over the rear vacuum box, which is plastic. For those who have this installed, have you seen any melting, or warping? how close is it to the box? the picture Ive seen is from directly below, so its hard to tell.

 

For those of you thinking of buying this, here's my take..for what it's worth.


I installed it today. In the initial images from the prototype by speedelement, the pipe appeared to cross directly over the ventilator box...hence my apprehension. In actuality it passes over the rear of the box with about 1/2" clearance. I shimmed it out a bit with a nut (on top of the hanger bracket) to add another 1/2". It seems fine. I considered header tape, but as the pipe is pretty visable from the rear I decided against it. I might change my mind later. I fabricated a cap that can fit at the Y if it becomes an issue in the future, though. The hose (or cable) still required rerouting, but that was easy.


After installation I was underwhelmed to say the least. With the resonators in, it sounds pretty much stock. removing 4 allan screws and the 2 trumpets from the rear improved the sound dramatically.

It's throaty and deep. It doesn't sound ricey or raspy at all. It's beefy, but not incredibly loud (even without resonators) if that's what you're seeking. YMMV. I still have everything stock from the CAT forward, including headers and stock airbox, if that matters.


I dig these pipes. They are exactly what I was seeking. I'm not into attention from 5-0, so they are plenty loud for me.

Hope this helps.

 

yeah dude, I DID get my order FAST, thank you. And it looks good, and correct for what I wanted, again, THANKS.

But again, one or two tsudo or speed-element motorsports stickers would be a nice touch. Any chance on getting these?

 

Finally got mine in. I had to do some mod work with it to make it fit with a 5 axis body kit.

Speed-element guys.. next time you mod something up... you really need to plan ahead! Majority of the body kits are set up for dual exhaust but your mocked one up with a stock xB??

Oh and PS.. nice comment on your sales page. Way to really care!
anywho.. enough baggin on them

 

Just got My TSUDO 2008 xB/xB2 dual fireball exhaust done installed yesterday, I Love it. Sounds great, Looks great. Great quality merchandise, and in my case Speed-element was fast in it's shipping and delivery.

Thanks Speed-Element.

 

I have the Tsudo dual fire ball exh. And it is awwsome i love it. And if you are wondering it does NOT sound like a weed wacker. It is not loud at all. The sound is reall deep, And that is what you want. even mucle car guys at car shows love the way the exhaust sounds. Thanks speedelement!!!

 

did you guys remove the "trumpt style" silencers?

 

Yes I did. It didn't sound a lot better than stock without doing so. It sounds GREAT now. Nice deep sound.

 

What did you have to do in order for it to fit the kit?, im looking into getting either the 5axis kit or the bomex kit.
