Tsudo No Muffler

Hideous. Dont ever do it.





Bored today, unbolted the muffler in about 30 seconds, started it: Sounded CRAZY!!! loved it at first, driving slow up the neighborhood in first gear sounded BADASS! then coming to a stop several good backfires. I was actually happy.


Then i get up to cruising speed. Death horrid drone beyond belief.


Then I floor it. Mother of god it sounded awful. Just put it back on it.


Just wanted to give my opinion real quick. No video, its too terribly loud, id get the cops called on me!!!! (btw STOCK header/dp/cat)

Try running an open header. It sounds 100x worse. The fireballs were cool tho.

eeek.


I do have one question though. How can i make my exhaust pop a bit more on downshifts without making it too much louder and NOT having rasp, thats why i havent done a DP/header just dont want the sound to change i love the way it sounds with my current exhaust which is option racing same as tsudo though.

You're still on stock header/DP? If so a header /DP combo should make it pop more. I cant really say tho because I installed everything in one shot. I have the ZZP midlength combo and it sounds awesome. nice and deep with no rasp.

No GMPP sport exhaust but its 4 years old and about half the insulation has come out (collects on the tip) but i dont mind as it has a really powerful deep sound now.

i couldve got a GMPP for $250 pissed i didnt jump on it. Already had a great sounding exhaust and only had the intention of going GMPP if i was going to do the header and dp too.

I run my car open header all the time.....cut-out's FTW!

I love the sound, not to mention all the extra power.

I run the tsudo with a lsj header and a 2.50in down pipe/high flow cat and it sounds very good. Pops alot and I love it but not the loud muffler tickets I get.

id replace the resonator with a magnaflow xl muffler that has a 4/6" diameter what ever fits, those are the best resonators! just get something longer than whats on there if i did header/dp.
