Exhaust Combo Question

So I am coming to conclusions with my Exhaust setup.

For sure I am getting a Bad-mab Shorty Header, and catted ZZP 2.5'' Downpipe.

The next I have to decide on catback. Im debating between the SRS and the Tsudo. What I need to know is since my ZZP downpipe is going to be 2.5'', if i Get the SS Tsudo/SRS catback will there be enough backpressure for me? (im 2.2/NA) And will the SS tsudo/srs fit my 2.2l? Because one Tsudo website says the ss Tsudo catback will not fit the 2.2??

Thanks in advance for helping me out

tsudos fits the 2.2, and im not familar with the SRS.

I do have a question though, what is the difference between the $250 Tsudo and the $150 Ebay n1 exhaust, it has the exact picture of the exhaust, same style and everything for $100 less? anyone ever bought the cheaper one?

Yea quality as in craftmanship not as in sound. So I say again. Why would you want a bad quality exhaust? Just save up and buy a good one. Almost everyone that gets a tsudo gets it because it's cheap and later get a more expensive one anyways.

It will fit, all exhaust for the 2.0/SC, 2.2, and 2.4 are interchangeable. They only make one tsudo.

the tsudo sounds pretty good, but i got rid of mine because of the shitty fitment and it was a bit too loud for me. switched to the gmpp touring exhaust and im in love, but it was also over 600 dollars haha

I don't see where this bad quality talk is coming from, I have had my Tsudo on mine since 07 and never had a problem until I put my JBP header and CTI DP on and since I have an auto it made it slightly wedged in there. I love mine and it sounds good, never had a weld crack or rust... Mandrel bent. What is the problem?

I have been rocking a 2.5" Tsudo since April of 07 I love it, what do you want to know? PS. Backpressure is your enemy!

Mandrel bends is legit, you'll want to get the borla muffler and see if you can talk them into putting a glass pack in it too.

And I didn't even search too hard. I don't know about you but I'm not going to support a company who can't make it right. Seriously how can you screw up how high the exhaust sits. It's not hard they should've welded on longer hangars from the beginning.

Every company has the occasional defective product. Unless you have had personal experience you can't say it as a fact whether something is good or bad, you can link(as you did) to show they aren't perfect but minor fitment issues are to be expected with custom parts. At least you can disclaim that you have no personal experience with the product in question and rely on a web forum for your information. I got a Tsudo, I know several others with them on Civics(although they have full header back Tsudo systems) and never heard of fitment issues with them except here. Even on the Honda forums. Although by your support statement you should not be supporting GM or any other car company, otherwise why would you even mod a car if it was made right?

It's funny how you have to keep coming at me in every thread I say something about the tsudo. Get the **** over it and grow up. I never said I had personal experience with tsudo. And the cobalt is fine the way it comes from the factory people decide to mod their cars to make them faster, unique, etc. You don't have to agree with me. Just because it is made well on one car doesn't mean it is for another. If your exhaust fits perfectly more power to you. I'm just giving people information that the exhaust deosn't fit right most of the time. As in the exhaust pipe hangs too low. If you can't make the pipe fit even like the factory (read even with the bottom of the car) and instead drooping down below then you shouldn't make them. I know there's only so much you can do to make it not happen but theirs is ridiculous. And not being able to make long enough hangars is hilarious btw. And no I'm not going to have experience with them because I'm not going to buy a shitty part. When it is really cheap you can't expect great quality. It's common sense.


And you obviously do not know the reason of modding a car.

Ive got the badmab header, zzp catt'd DP and the 2.5" tsudo exhaust on my 2.2. After buying new muffler mounts for the tsudo it fits much better. Only 5 bucks at autozone for 2 new mounts. But no complaints from me... Sounds good and besides the tip it hasnt rusted in 2 years of NY salt. I had the tip cut off and a nice SS tip welded on to remedy the rusty tip.
