So... There is an alignment problem? And it's even worse if you install tsudo down pipe?.. I'm all about the performance but I still want a very good looking car.. And just to clarify, the exhaust wont set off the check engine light? Is there any other problems I should worry about or is this a really great exhaust?

Yes , Tsudo exhaust does have an alignment problem. I have read it gets worse after DP install but I wouldn't know first hand being I installed them together. I have took a sound clip and a couple of pictures below. ![]() ![]() ![]() This clip is me sitting in the car with the windows up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byYII...ature=youtu.be

TBH I am not sure. If anything I would like the right side to come out a little more instead of moving the left back. I am going to have my car on the lift tomorrow I will try and get under shots to see whats going on.

Take pictures! Do you have any video from the outside? Also, I can hear vibration at certain RPMs...looks like it might be hitting something. You might want to get that checked too!

mine needed a bit of adjusting just manipulating the hangers but after awhile it kind of adjusted itself where you can only tell theres a small small difference if you get real close and already know its there, with most dual tip exhausts its not going to be 100% spot on perfect

I am having my CC stage 4 installed right now and after they are going to look it over and see what can be done. I really don't care if it's perfect but if it's an easy fix I'll let them fix it.
I love this exhaust it gets loud above 4k but not annoyingly loud. I can barely hear it cruising on the highway at 3000-3500 (very quiet). also a nice little rumble at idle. Overall for the price you can't beat this exhaust.

Ok friends , Shop told me there wasn't much they could do. The best the could get was removing the tips and cutting a little off the pipe then putting the tips back on. He did me the favor and did it for me. It is still like a 1/4 of inch off but I don't care looks great to me for $550 spent .

Just the tip problem but the shop fixed in 10 min moving the tips on the left side back a little. I got it from se motors and it came with the DP all for one low price free shipping.
lol , I noticed that in the shop I wonder how that works hahaha.

Bumping it up because there is no need to make another thread in the product review section.
Went with Tsudo over CNT and I am kinda glad I did. I also got the combo deal DP and CT and there are THREE things that could be better about this exhaust system. ONE The hardware kit that comes with the exhaust is just a pure garbage. The bolt hats are way too large to be flush with the flanges, so I had to use smaller size bolts with washers. TWO Driver side tip problem. It's sticking out while the pass side seems to be pushed in. People on other forums suggest to play with hangers and bend them but I do not see this as an option because if I do that, the mufflers won't be aligned afterwards. THREE Not really a problem but the thing could be a little louder.. I feel like my stock exhaust was louder than this... Of course it could be from me still having the stock O2 housing but still, I do not really feel a gain in power or anything. I also feel $540 that I paid could be spent on something else or something better. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

It was a huge improvement for me when I installed my Tsudo, both in terms of sound and performance. I recently installed the O2 housing and NOW it sounds exactly how I always wanted to.

Are you going to get a tune? Also, do you mind to post a video of how it sounds now if you ever have a chance? The reason I don't have the housing yet is because I don't wanna deal with the CEL or a tune.
