Just Installed DC Sports TCS!!!
I just installed my DC Sports TCS exhaust last night..installation is a breeze, took just about a half hour. For those of you looking to install your own exhaust, be careful of the nuts holding the long pipe to the cat...the upper bolt in the triangular pattern was so rusted, it took soooo much WD-40 to get it off...but a lil elbow grease and some WD-40, it came off slowly but surely..sounds great on the car though!

While we're on the TCS subject... Does the exhaust get split and sent to the 2 mufflers? Or does it go through one and then the other, before going out the back?

Rep Power: 0 To be quite honest with ya, I am not sure...but from what I have read, the design is meant to pass the exhaust fumes thru the 2 canisters, then flow to one pipe exiting at the 3" tip, hence the twin canister design...

Rep Power: 0 No doubt, doesn't sound like a weed wacker or a can of bees, a nice, racy sort of sound...looks good on the car too plus my car picks up from the line a little better...

Rep Power: 343 how quite is the thing, is it like you have to turn down the radio to hear it? im trying to decide between the TCS and the Skunk2 cause i know the skunk2 has a low deep sound to. i dont wanna get the tcs and not be able to hear it over my intake. so how loud is it?

Rep Power: 0 Well, once it is broken in, its loud when you step on the gas, especially from 2nd to 3rd gear...for idling, it isn't loud at all, which is nice, a silent killer!! When I run it on the freeway, it is loud, especially cause the sound bounces off the concrete barriers. I was more interested in the performance issue with it when I bought mine, and my car has gotten a lil quicker with it on...good luck man!

Rep Power: 0 I think the tcs is definately an awesome looking exhaust. I guess the sound is ok but I think my magnaflow sounds perfect.
What bothers me about the tcs is that it weighs about 50lbs. The stock system couldn't weigh more than 20. Also, the design looks kinda restrictive if you ask me.
