If only they made them a dual tip muffer.. That one will probably burn your rear bumper

I've heard that it in fact does melt the bumper a little, but its a knock off gReddy Evo catback.

Have seen that around E-bay for quite some time. Never spent more than 3 seconds looking at it. The outlet seems way too huge and more than likely has a very crappy-raspy sound to it. Who knows what fittment issues could arise as well...


Plus, you want a 3" Cattman cat-back anyway

That's what. The OP doesn't want the exhaust that he posted, he simply wanted to post it as an option to 5th genners I think.

Yes, I know. I was hoping that by "I already have " that meant he placed a back-order...hopes and dreams?

i currently have one on my 5th gen.......melted a bit of my bumper but it was my fault cause i needed to replace the rubber hangers w/ longer ones. it sounded good until i got my wsp y and hi flo cat. it got a little rasp to it but at lower rpm at wot. you can barely hear the rasp in the car. no real fitment issues except for it hitting the cross beam like once a month. all in all its held up perrty decent. its starting to show some rust???? or oxidation???......it might just be from the heat though but its been on my car for like a year and a half. i got my moneys worth.

I had one, well the similar one thats all over ebay that I got used. Sounded great honestly. Got complements about its sound at work too. Did it burn the bumper yep. Did the salt from the winter rust the welds onthe hangers yep. Did the hanger break and bang the crossmember over the axle yep. Am I back to stock for now yep.

Dont have a video clip of my own, but here is a taste of what the Tsudo catback sounds like with an Injen intake on a 3.5 6MT.

Wouldnt surprise me if the catback you listed above was about the same tone or fairly similar.

For $140 bucks, I couldnt pass up the Tsudo after hearing this video.

A year later, Im very happy with the purchase

Just heat up one or two of the hangers holding the exhaust in place with a torch, and bend the bars down slightly to where you want them to be.

Worked out great for me with the Tsudo. No burn, melting or rubbing...

does anyone know of an exhaust system that works well that doesnt increase the noise or the stock muffler?

every last exhaust will increase the sound of the stock by at least a little... however, you can run just the B-piping and the stock muffler, most quiet, but nothing will sound the exact same
