Those with Tsudo catback, enter!!!!

Hey guys,

So, I'm still on the fence about getting the Tsudo catback. I like how it sounds, and how it looks. However, I'm just converned with fitment. So, I'm asking two separate questions to two separate groups of guys..

1) Those of you with SS s/c's (or 2.4's/2.2's with s/c rear bumper): How is the fitment of the muffler / tip with the s/c rear lip? Does it hit off the lip or anything?

2) Those of you with automatic's: How is your fitment using the factory hanger brackets and such? I know the autos have slightly different fitting exhausts due to the engine being rotated forwards a tad (I believe it's forwards). So was this still simply a bolt in and go type deal, or did anything need customized to have it fit right and not hit anything?

My main issue right now is that my exhaust smacks off the floorboard. I think it's because of ill-fitting exhaust brackets on the exhaust it's self, and it's giving it too much play.. It's very annoying for it to clank every time it hits a bump. Plus the exhaust on there right now has some miles on it, so it'd be nice to start fresh..

I've gotten a general consensus that it's a good exhaust and the build quality is good for the price. How do you like it? And how is the interior drone and exterior pitch? I'm on a stock SS with Dynomax muffler right now, but have also had GMPP Performance and Ark N2 before, and both were fine, but really deep and droney. Is this quieter or louder than the Ark / Megan?

Also, are you running the N1 version, or the touring version with the canister and tip?

Lastly, anyone running this with aftermarket headers? Is it a whole lot louder? If you are, what kind?

Feel free to post a pic also..

Thanks guys!! Appreciate it!!

Well in order to do this I need someone to answer.

And I put it in general for a reason. Because I was asking about fitment between all models. Not sound specific to 2.4's.

If you searched you know the answers. Yes its a good exhaust, yes you need longer rubber exhaust hangers for the muffler, yes it'll be louder if you have a header/downpipe, yes its somewhat droney.

Sorry to make a thread not including ****. It must be irrelevant. This forum is a joke.

I installed my buddy's for him on his '05 2.2 5spd. It sounds pretty good and installed easily. As previously stated you're gonna need longer rubber hangers to install it.

easy install, fits good, the muffler tip may need to be extended, and you will def need new hangers or it will melt the lip on the bumper.
