Sound clips or none of this happened.

I found the clip...

This is a tempting exhaust though. I wonder if it can be had with a catless front pipe?

Correct the stock overpipe is fine. I don't plan to replace it. Just the headers, front, mid, and exhaust.

The overpipe has a massive kink in it. Compared to the other stock components, the overpipe is not fine.

Long term review: Had this exhaust for about 3 months now. Exhaust is slightly louder than a g35 coupe and doesn't sound blatty. Only time I think it is a little TOO loud is during the warmup when the car turns on but that goes away the second I start moving. No drone at freeway speeds and the material has held up fine in terms of corrosion. I admit there are better looking exhausts out there but if you really care you can polish the tips to make it shine like chrome.

As usual gains are negligable as with any header-back exhaust (maybe 5hp? lol). For the price I paid it's a pretty awesome bargain especially with catback exhausts costing towards 7 or 800 with no high flow cat.

If anyone wants sound clips lmk. I can't do interior sound though since I have sound deadening which wouldn't give an accurate representation of interior sound.

Hey I just bought mine a few days ago and i installed it myself. My question to you is what gasket did u used to connect the front pipe to the catback.? I bought the exhaust without the front pipe and I had a small fitment issue because of the donut gasket from the stock front pipe and to correct it I just purchased the front pipe yesterday.

May I ask what you think about it? I'll most likely be getting the CB/DP combo sometime through out the month.

If I understand this correctly, this system, along with headers and one more piece (overpipe?) is a complete exhaust system?

boredom.is.me · 10-09-2013, 12:25 PM

yep

Headers > Overpipe > Front/Downpipe > Midpipe > Axleback
Midpipe + Axleback = Catback

Tsudo has a Front/Downpipe and a Catback, but they are sold separately (unless you get them as a combo).

Who makes a good overpipe for a fair price? The shop foreman at the dealership where I get service is putting one of these on his FR-S, which I consider a pretty good endorsement.

Private Label MFG makes an OP for ~$200. DC makes one for ~$95, but might be a piece of crap. FT86 carries both.

Sorry for taking soo long to get back to you, havent been on the page for a while ever since I joined the tri-state ft 86 club page on FB. The exhaust sounds great! for the price and all I personally think its one of the best sounding exhaust out there. Its not supper loud but at WOT you could be herd from around the block.... I was going to get the Perrin cat-back and im soo happy I saved on money and got a better sounding exhaust. The down-pipe, front pipe what ever people like to call it makes a huge difference. What I like also is that you could here the Boxer rumble while cruising

. When talking about fitment it could definitly been improved a little but othere than that its a great exhuast.!

I'm debating between this and the Greddy SP Elite - can anyone compare the two as far as sound goes? Not really worried about power difference, just sound. Looks wise I like the Greddy tips better but the Tsudo looks ok.

i love the tsudo. if i didn't need 3" for my turbo i would've saved a few hundred bucks over the perrin and went with this.

boredom.is.me · 11-13-2013, 12:08 PM

Um what??? I feel sorry for the poor soul that will be missing part of the mid pipe.

I do wish it was an extra front pipe though...
