Tsudo Catback installed (Pics and short vid)

So, there's a lot of talk around here about the Tsudo exhaust lately, and I got mine installed on my G5 the other day, so I thought I would get some pictures and videos out there. It sounds great, better than the video lets on (my car was cold, and it was a cell phone). The only problem is the tip is a little too far into my bumper.


Mods are as listed:

-Injen SRI
-OBX header
-Custom 2.25" DP with Magnaflow high-flow cat
-Tsudo catback exhaust

I bought a couple from Advance, but they were only like .5" bigger and didn't do much good, so I ended up bending the hangers from the car so everything could attach and the tip would be lined up correctly.

Hang too low? Like, too far from the bumper vertically? I don't have that problem at all, as you can tell in my pics.

Oh. That's a common problem on all Tsudo exhausts, from what I've read. I think I'll deal with it till until I **** something up.

personally your video makes it sound alot worse than it actually is, do a youtube search for cobalt tsudo i got two videos up that do it alot better justice... just don't want someone to get the wrong idea bout this exhaust cause its awesome.

Yeah like I said the quality is next to nothing, so it's not going to be exact, and my car was cold.
