Tsudo Catback

Hey i was thinking about throwing a Tsudo Cat back exhaust on my 2.2L does anybody have this, and would it be worth it to buy the GMPP Performance instead?

i would put a gmpp if it was mine. looks good, not a huge ricer tip on it. and it sounds nice. but get the performace and not the touring if you do decide on gmpp.

Tsudo=China= Why? lol sorry..

Tsudo is flat out cheap and IMO poor quality.

Many other better choices, GMPP, corsa, magnaflow, and honestly Pacesetter is better than Tsudo

megan is a good system it seems the tsudo is a knockoff of the megan or the Ark catback

I had a pacesetter on my 2.2, it sounded great & its very affordable.

Hell, i have a Monza on my 2.4, its awesome too;

Monza and Pacesetter are the same company

Buy a good exhaust not the name. I had a shope make me an all mandrel bent 2.5" Exhaust ended with a magnaflow muffler with a very low key tip. Sounds awesome and works perfectly.

depends on what you like, i personally havent tried the tsudo exhaust, i was thinking about it, bout eneded up going with a lsj exhaust instead, its and upgrade just as good as aftermarket, and stays nice and quiet, sound doesnt=power , but hey, its a cheap upgrade, and will give you added performance, but the quality is whats gunna be lacking

Ive used a tsudo exhaust before but it was not on a 4 cylinder vehicle... the sound was deep and sounded very good to me... but again it was on a v6 vehicle and not a 4 cylinder... i would check to see if you can find sound clips... that should help you with your decision

I have the Tsudo but I have a custom dual outlet setup so I chopped off the muffler that came with it obviously...sounds amazing!

Great buy for the price IMO.

it doesnt sound that ricey but you get what you pay for. i installed one on a buddy's 2.2. very bad fitment issues on the rear bumper. exhaust flanges were threaded? and the bolts they sent didnt even fit... i have no idea why...in the end, you get what you pay for. i am very happy with my megan by the way! MEGAN FTW!

I still sort of have the Tsudo on my car.

the only one I am aware of for the 2.2's though was made for a 03-04 Ion which has a different flange to connect to the cat.

the quality with the exhaust was fine, the only problem was the huge tip (was not a fart can), its like 4.5" and you can fit your fist in it. so you can either buy that and just cut the tip off and weld on a better one or have an exhaust shop bend you a custom crush bent exhaust or pay for an expensive exhaust.
