i've been looking for a cheap exhaust that doesn't sound ricey. i can't afford greddy, apexi, or anything in that price range. i just looked at the tsudo and those look pretty good. anyone have one? also, how about megan and magnaflow?

 

I've seen many of those floating around on ebay and was looking at buying one myself. They are a lot cheaper then the Evo, apexi, skunk etc... however I don't know how well they sound or the performance. How much are you looking to spend?

 

I found this clip for you, up to you if you like the sound or not. Tsudo N1 style Catback

 

sounds pretty good. do you think the power gains are same as any other exhaust though?

 

I think power gains are supposed to be somewhere around the 8-15 gain for all types of exhaust in general. But I'm not sure, can we get some confirmation from the peanut gallery? Your going to get a gain, now if its largely noticable or not I cannot say.

 

Also Megan Racing exhaust are about 100$ more then Tsudo after shipping. And I've heard nothing but good things of MR from people on these boards. I say if you can spring for Megan Racing Drift Spec if not Tsudo is a good 2nd choice for the ammount of funds you wish to spend. I myself am planning on ordering one of these next week when I get paid. BTW are you on your stock piping and muffler at the moment? If you are either of these systems would be a great upgrade IMO.

 

yea, i'm on stock right now. i'm just afraid i'll regret not getting something expensive like a skunk that might have a better sound and better performance.

 

I would jump on with Megan Racing. They sound pretty good in my opinion and they look good. All of this and they are steal cheaper then most of the other good brands. Those like greddy and what not I think you are just paying the extra money to buy the name, from what I have read quality is good for both. As for gain from what I read dont expect much from any of them, but it does help a little as well helps for other things too. This is all from reading seeing that I have not experienced more then one thing from any brand since this is my first car to work on. I do read alot though on forums.........read way to much actually.

 

I've seen clips of Skunk and APEXi N1 they sound pretty much the same as Megan. Evo2 and WSP2 however are less ricer looking and the sound is less agressive and quiet. I think Megan would be a good bet. However if you still can't decide and really want the brand. Megan Drift Spec will run you 345$ if you have an extra 130$ish and are willing to spend it you can easily pick up any of the Skunk, Evo2, WSP2 etc... I don't know why your asking though because you said in the beginning of the thread you didn't have/want to blow a lot of funds on this. I think this is a good in between.

 

Heres a clip MR Drift Spec, as far as the look its supposed to have a upward anchor look. Which to me I like very much.
