TSUDO Exhaust

So I've been searching for a cat back exhaust, and came across this TSUDO cat back on ebay for 169.99. It's all stainless construction so.... It is however an N1 knock-off but that doesn't really bother me.

I was wondering if anyone on the boards has any experience with these exhausts? I mean, from my friends that have them on their Honda's, they have nothing but great things to say about them, so I was wondering if any other Max owners had one. And for $230 shipped, I don't know if I could get a better deal.

Please give me your feedback!

Thanks,
Dominic

Oh, and here's the link: TSUDO catback exhaust

This has been discussed so many times on this board and you're going to have so many people come in this thread and say "you get what you pay for" or "it's no greddy."

I have the exhaust. It sounds great, looks great, has no rust, it's in perfect condition. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it!!

The quality might be okay and everything, but I wouldnt want a melon launcher that big sticking out of my maxima. Looks like it should be on the back of a prelude. Looks too ricey for my tastes

fart can.....

since the catback exhaust will give you hardly any performance gains anyway, you might as well go for a cattman rear section for a little more money. You'll get better looks, great quality, and an awesome, deep sound.

If you like it that much, don't listen to what anyone else says, buy it and post some sound clips for me to add to the exhaust sticky.

Thanks I found him on ebay last night. I emailed him to see how much the midpipe would be without the muffler.

please post when you find out the cost on just B-pipe. Would be interested as to what other brand of muffler section would bolt up to it (if any)

If it is the same size as the Greddy I dont think it will bolt up to the stock muffler.

I thought I read somewhere that it was some guys who put there stock muffler back on because the noise was too loud.

I dont know if that is with Greddy, but you can with Cattman and Frankencar.

I could be wrong, but I thought one of the reasons to not get a Greddy was because they did not use stock dimensions for pipe lengths and you cannot bolt any other muffler to it. Like the Cattman and frankencars can be a whole bunch of combos; cattman B with Franken muffler....

The stock muffler will not fit with the GReddy or OBX b-pipe without some modification.

I was going to say just buy it for the B pipe section but ..I might as well get it custom manderl bent B pipe.

Some of these copy cat backs resonate real bad, great if you like that sound.

I had the OBX and sold it because it was to loud. It fit OK, but did rub on the AE rear lip sometimes.

You could picl up a cheap muffler and have it welded in to the B-pipe, that may help.

I think you need to update your sig pics (RIP written on the motor).

How is the VQ35 install going? You are still installing a 35 right...

Hell i am glad i blew my motor honestly. Gives me a chance to do something i have been wanting to do for a few months.

pulled the motor this past week. This week i have to swap over the 3.0 timming equipment w/ the JWT cams and then install the ARP rod bolts. Hopefully she will be up and running by saturday so we can re-tune this weekend. After that i am going hunting for some honduhs
