Seeing as I'm cheap... (Tsudo)
Is this a legit Tsudo? I'm not getting my hopes up, but it looks pretty similar to it and wondered if anyone has bought one from this seller. I'm really looking for sounding like the "real" Tsudo, but that can be dodgy I'd imagine

Thoughts?

i wouldn't listen to cmatthew on this.
i have the Tsudo N1, that one there appears to be the same as what i've got.
i did have some issue's with it, ended up having to have the tip replaced to extend out proper, and had to have a custom higher grade stainless plate welded on to stop some heat flex that occurred.
now though, it looks good and sounds great. when the exhaust is cold don't go above 3000 rpm's or u get rasp. once warmed up, it's literally one of the best sounding cobalt exhausts you can get.
sounded sexy enough for a guy in a sti to have a lil exhaust sound off with me in a tunnel during stop-and-go traffic today.

Yeah. I love the tsudo sound and everything so I was pretty set on it. However I'm just not sold on the link. 150 shipped for a tsudo even seems pretty ghetto cheap. I kind of want to bite the bullet and just buy it, but fall semester starts in three weeks and it sucks spending money right now

^ truth.
the GMPP exhaust (borla) sounds great.
OP, if you are cheap then i would definitely go to mandrelexhaustsystems.com and take a look. u can get 2.25, 2.5, and 3 inch exhaust and have a choice of borla, or magnaflow mufflers. heard they have good fitment on our cars too

I have this exhaust. I really like it. Doesn't sound ricey at all. It's got a nice purr to it. It isn't too loud. I'd say go for it.
Oh and I paid $200 shipped for mine, so go type in Chevy Cobalt 2.2L exhaust. Something called japanimportshops or something like that should come up with an exhaust. The pic is an exhaust with a black Evo in the background and the price is $123.00 + $79.00 shipping or something like that. Go for that one instead.

Wow, I love how this thread started with someone wanting to make sure he is getting the "official" brand yet it turned into a battle of exhaust 1 > exhaust 2... CSS- always gets old...
