Tsudo Exhaust

[bmaxeo]

Has anyone tried out the Tsudo exhaust for a 2.5? If so would you recommend it ?

I am looking for one as well, but the Stillen one is too expensive

curious as well, stillen has a great sound and what seems like a great product but it comes at a hefty price. I need to replace my exhaust due to damage and been googling exhausts for awhile now. the tsudo sounds good on a 3.5 but cant find anything for it on a 2.5. Could someone comment on the build quality as well as sound quality vs other exhausts.

Yeah exactly it sounds nice on a 3.5 but no findings for a 2.5 !

It is amazing what you learn when using Google. Instead of saying "WTF?", I Googled the words "Tsudo Exhaust", and it directed me to the Official Tsudo Performance website: http://tsudoperformance.com/index.php?m ... ex&cPath=9

Guess what? They do not make a product for the 2.5. They make exhaust products for the following Nissan cars:

Nissan Altima 2002-2006 SP Cat-Back Exhaust $335.00
Nissan Maxima 2000-2003 EVO2 Cat-Back Exhaust $279.00

Notice that these are a single exhaust, not a dual as 2007-and up has.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

You are correct, I should have searched more. I called ERZ Performance, who is the E-Bay seller of the 2011 coupe muffler you provided a link to. I was told that Tsudo has not updated their website, but they do make and have a warranty on the muffler in the video. I was told that the coupe muffler fits both 3.5 and 2.5 engines, as the mounting is the same for the muffler on both models.

I ran an ebay catback exhaust for 80,000 miles. It was stainless or coated or whatever, and only after an accident (hit and run by a dwi-tard) did I replace it with a Borla. At the time when I was getting it removed, I could see inside the muffler due to the damage, and the inside parts looked like they had started to corrode, but sound-wise I could never tell it was going bad internally or not.

Verdict: Most of the stuff on ebay needs a bit tweaking to fit or look good (mine had fugly tips, $80 later looked clean) as with any brand name stuff. Just go for it. Worse that can happen is you get something with such awful welds or steel quality that you can tell before it even goes on the car, and you return it. <--Have not run into that across 2 cars worth of ebay exhaust stuff.

I actually thought about buying the Tsudo exhaust a while back because I got bored of the ebay exhaust after 3 years hah.
