Well, it looks pretty nice, Built quality looks alright...but i see two problems.

1) Doesn't include a silencer and doesn't have a hole on the end of the tip to bolt on an aftermarket silencer. You sould solve this by drilling a hole on the tip prior to installing the exhaust. (kinda hard to do that with the muffler on the car)

2) The piping itself looks good (2-2.25 inch mandrel bends all the way)....but the muffler has a 1 inch core...whats the point of having 2.25 inch mandrel bend piping if the muffler itself restricts the flow with its 1 inch core?!? Well....at least its straight though.

Its called tuning. All the exhaust companies have their goals in what they want their system should do. You just have to find a company with your goals or in most cases, sound and looks.

I guess you can say that Tsudo sticked with the 1 inch core to retain some back pressure...but I rarely see aftermarket catback exhaust systems which has a muffler with only a 1 inch core...

Also I doubt Tsudo really did anything to tune the catback. They probably just made sure everything fits and call it a day.
