Tsudo Exhaust: 70mm Install and Review (Huge Pictures) - Page 10

ryrysbluesi · 03-08-2011, 01:33 PM

yeah i have had no issues with cops where i am, they always seem to end up right behind me though lol i guess waiting for me to do something stupid

jasax6 · 03-08-2011, 07:21 PM

Had no issue with install except for the stock bolts on the cat, rusted on and pb blaster didnt quite do the trick, had to use grinder to take a nut and part of bolt off. Then use a torch to heat up the bolts to hammer them out.

The bolts on my cat came out pretty easy but my car is only a year and a bit old. I reused them as well instead of the tsudo bolts.

jasax6 · 03-08-2011, 07:54 PM

yeah i thought it was weird, mines an 09. was very surprised.

MikeyP · 03-11-2011, 09:37 PM

UPS dropped off my tsudo today, looking forward to installing it!

ryrysbluesi · 03-11-2011, 10:56 PM

You doing it yourself?

1stCivic09 · 03-12-2011, 03:00 AM

Dude you'll love it. I've had mine a week and even though gas prices are sh*t you'll want to take rips around the block all day long. I passed a couple stock Si's and I felt like a KING in comparison LOL. But you'll HATE when slow people are in front of you. Tsudo is WELL worth the money.

chop204 · 03-12-2011, 03:07 PM

I cant wait to order this exhaust. Reading the reviews this seems to be the best bang for your buck by far.

This is one of the things I am looking forward to coming from an SRT-4, that is one of the few things I miss about that car.

pick up some pb blaster, get a lift, and get some friends to help you

Is it really that bad?

ryrysbluesi · 03-14-2011, 01:41 AM

mine wouldnt have even taken an hour if it didnt take forever to get the damn cat bolts off but other than that its a synch

jasax6 · 03-14-2011, 09:19 AM

A lift would definitley help, jack stands is definitley doable though. And agreed on PB blaster, can never use enough.

MikeyP · 03-14-2011, 11:35 AM

Anyone ever add a resonator onto this exhaust to quiet it down a bit? If so, did it still sound good?

Bonesld · 03-16-2011, 12:20 AM

Thinking about switching from my Greddy SE to this. I know its WAY louder than the SE but I want the increased exhaust piping size. Do you think Ill see any gains w this over the Greddy? I have I/IMG/TBS. Thanks.

MikeyP · 03-17-2011, 09:16 PM

I installed my Tsudo today and will have pictures up tomorrow.

Did it by myself with a jack, 2 jack stands and hand tools no pb blaster, no wd-40. Took me about an hour and 15 minutes including jacking up the car, and removing the passenger side rear wheel.

This exhaust is crazy loud, especially on a cold start. Already thinking about getting a different axle back to bolt up to it...

AlbertS7467 · 03-18-2011, 11:01 PM

It took me a while to actually get it on here but here is my pic

mayhem052 · 03-20-2011, 10:46 PM

I put my silencer on a few days ago. It looks really stupid but it is really nice not having highway drone all the time. Most of my commute is 2hr 75 mph highway driving so the drone was really getting on my nerves. It's also really nice to be able to hear my intake roar again as the exhaust totally droned it out. A couple of times I have set off car alarms just starting up my car w/ the Tsudo. It's kinda funny but also annoying. I love the tone of the Tsudo and would still recommend it to anyone; it is definitely the most bang for the buck, but often just a little too much bang for my taste. I'll probably pick up some high heat black paint for the silencer. Has anyone tried this yet any success/fail stories? Also has anyone bolted on the HFP muffler to the car? I have the HFP and I know it would cancel out any power gains but I love the look of it and I bet it would sound pretty decent and not too loud.
