Default Tsudo catback Exhaust -vid clips and pics- *Product Review*

Distrubutor: speedelement (from eBay)
Product: Tsudo Fireball Catback Exhaust w/ removable silencer for 2/DR, 92-95 DX/LX/EX, and 96-00 EX/Si
It's Full Stainless Steel and came with all hardware and gaskets. 2.5" mandrel piping and it's 25% lighter than the stock exhaust system.
Car:1993 EX 2dr
Price: 216.95 shipped
Installation: The item was shipped in pieces in one box with all factory packaging. First you have to remove the stock exhaust system after the catalytic converter. Lift the car up and secure it safely. Removing the stock exhaust requires removing 3 bolts and 4 hanger hooks. With the stock exhaust out, begin to install the new one. It bolts and hangs exactly as the stock one does. There is only one was to install it so there is no worry about if it's on right or not.
Installion Time: With a lift, 30-60 minutes. With a jack and jack stands, 45-90 minutes
Review: I give the exhaust a 9 out of 10. It sounds nice, there's a noticeable difference, but the muffler is slightly lower than I would have wanted. That can be fixed though. Also, the silencer isn't designed the best for easy removal and reinstallation, but it works as it should. It didn't come with instructions but they weren't needed as it's a straightforward install. It's worth every penny.

Oh, and keep in mind, I'm removing the blue paint this summer. I'm thinking of going black.

This is inside the car. It's harder tham I imagined to hold a camera "still" and drive at the same time.


This is outside the car, starting up.


This is outside the car, reving like a tard.



Pictures with it installed.

The pictures start where the catback exhaust bolts to the cat. Then they go to the resonator and the bolt connection there. Then the s bent portion to be the exhaust aimed to get over the rear axel. Then finally the axel and back.

that actually doesnt sound half bad for an ebay joint. The decibels will probably go up after its broken in tho. The tone of my ebay catback changed remarkably after about 3 months of use

Is the silencer on during the video? If not, how much quieter does it get?

lol, no, the silencer is not on. Idleing, it's as stock with a lower pitch. Reving, it's just a little louder that stock.
