Tsudo Cat-Back REVIEW!!! WITH SOUND CLIPS!!!
You can purchase this exhaust from Speed-Element here: Tsudo 2006-08 Honda Fit 60mm N1 Inv Performance Catback Exhaust System
Alright, some of you may remember the thread I made asking if anyone has ever had any experience with the Tsudo Cat-Back from Speed-Element. Well I put the exhaust on a couple weeks ago and here is my review of it.
If I had to sum it all up in one word...: LOUD!!! And I love it!!!
One big question with exhausts is "Is it angled???" the answer is: Yes it is... but it doesn't look like a crooked ass-hole like alot of ricers like to throw on their vehicles. In my opinion it is angled up just enough to make it look like the muffler sits parallel with the back bumper and NOT to the ground. Cuz if it sits parallel to the ground and NOT the back bumper. the exhaust actually looks like it's angled down which really looks like crap.
No doubt about it this baby is loud... but rest-assured... It doesn't have that nasty, ricey, high-pitched, pissed off weed-eater sound. Oh no! This baby is low-tone. Very nice Deep-note!
I won't go into all the details of the dimensions and what not because you can look all of that up here: Tsudo 2006-08 Honda Fit 60mm N1 Inv Performance Catback Exhaust System
The Good:
-A true cat-back for less than $200 shipped!
-All hardware included (nuts, bolts and gaskets) everything you need to put that baby on!
-Sounds intimidating!
-Looks even more intimidating!
-Very high quality welding (see pics)
-Fitment was great! Utilized the factory hangars very well!
-Could easy tell a dramatic performance increase from the moment I took it for the first test drive
-Arrived very clean and undamaged
The Bad:
-Packaging was thrashed (see pics) but that might have been Fed-Ex's fault...
The Neutral:
-Speed-Element sent too many bolts... They sent a set of bolts that were already attached to the catalytic converter side of the piping... but the factory cat uses studs... whatever? Better than not sending enough i guess
And now the pictures!!!

nice welds!

As you can see the exhaust looks awesome... but obviously that's an opinion. The exhaust also has a "Tsudo" Emblem on it which can be seen in one of the angled shots of the exhaust.
Now the momment everyone has been waiting for (and you probably just skipped to and didn't read the review)

sorry about the gigantic images before guys... I don't know any other way besides resizing and re-uploading all of the images to post them directly in the forum so i made thumbnails with links. sorry...

'preciate it, it does sound quite nice i think, but you really have to hear in person to get the full effect lol. but you're right, can't beat the price at all. I expected much less quality for the money but it gets mistaken for much higher priced brands ALOT haha

I didn't post because I don't like coffee can exhausts. However, the price is great for a full catback if you're into that style.
The reason you're not getting any responses to your post is cause this forum is 95% dead - seems most GD3 owners have moved on, and other than that there are alot of GE8 owners who are obviously not interested in a muffler for the GD3.

i didn't comment because it's virtually the same exhaust as the skunk2 mega power catback and every gd3 owner knows what that sounds/looks like.
great price though. probably worth the cost even if you wanted to hack off the n1 style muffler and weld on a bodied muffler in its place.

well ive driven the past two years with my muffler removed and honestly have liked a lot like many others have, im very much considering buying this due to it being a full catback for an awesome price. just wondering how it feels performance wise compared to no muffler and more importantly... soundwise

i ordered this about Aa month ago and installed it about a week ago. i got to say, the welds and fitment were PERFECT. tone is actually pretty good and deff louder thsan just the axleback removed. deff more power as well. only problem is i got a bad exhaust leak at the flange behind the resonator. like VERY audible. any ideas how to fix this? besides thart i couldnt be happier with this purchase.
