Installed eBay Neuspeed replica exhaust and Tsudo Downpipe (pic intensive)

[.T.o.n.y.]

Post some vids when you get the chance. I have been looking at this catback too. As you know mine is kinda loud so I want something quieter.

Im sure it'll sound roughly the same to the videos posted on the first page.

Just finished reading your entire build thread. Good stuff man. What did you think of the quality of the exhaust thread starter installed?

No problem. Just wondering what you think of the quality of the exhaust, thread starter just installed, being a rep and everything.

Honestly for the money i dont think you can beat it, though after some miles it is louder resulting in him wanting to put an addition resonator in. Mind you he removed his cat so if you buy the cat-back alone i think its a great bang for your buck.

Actually the tsudo cat back is 2.5" and has an extra resonator, i would imagine it would be quieter.

Of course the OP has no cat just resonator & muffler.

There is video (at least one) of the Tsudo catback on a MKV Rabbit. The video seems to back up your thoughts about it being more quiet. I know in at least a couple of the earlier posts on this thread someone commented on the sound quality of the Tsudo system. I have to admit that I've never heard it in person, but on the YouTube video, it didn't sound so great to me. Granted, that could be just the camera. But to me, given the clarity of the background sounds on the video, I'm not so sure that exhaust sounds good. It seems a little deeper than stock. If your looking for an exhaust, I hope this info helps!

I'll have to track that video down.

i stayed away from the tsudo exhaust like the plague. it sounded HORRIBLE in my opinion. But hey that's just my opinion haha

Your set up sounds AMAZING, Dude! I'm tackling one project at a time, and I've been working on polishing some wheels I bought (which is much more labor intensive than I thought it would be). My tires get here on Tuesday and the exhaust is next!

I only found one sound clip of it on youtube and it was at low speeds so I couldn't really get a good idea of how it sounds.

What was the length of the straight pipe between the end of your downpipe & the beginning of your catback?

[Tkd540]

23" +/-

Yeesh, that looks quality....

[kueckerdj09]

Just installed this test pipe today. Build quality is good, didn't need to cut or modify it in any way to get it to fit in the stock location. The one thing I can say I wish it had was an O2 bung plug for the second opening im not using. Other than that, it sounds great and can really feel the power on downshifts

I went ahead and ordered the exhaust that 2ptslo was so kind to share with all of us. Again, Dude, thanks for your help and answering my questions. For right now, I'm not going with the downpipe. My plan is to remove everything from the resonator back. Any good ideas on how to best handle the straight pipe that's going to need to be installed between my cat and new exhaust? I believe that will need to transition from a 2.25" pipe to the 2.75" on the new exhaust.

update of installed cherry Bomb resonator.... no videos yet but they're coming

This is literally the "Cherry" on the icing for this exhaust. In my opinion much needed

all you need is a roughly 23" long piece of aluminized piping ($8 at any local weld shop) and two band clamps from NAPA and you're golden

the exhaust i have reduces down to a 2.25 diameter at the mid resonator.

My downpipe is 2.5" and it reduces to 2.25", then i installed the previously mentioned cherry bomb 2.25" (23" long - perfect fit) and that bolted right up to the exhaust's 2.25" section.


So my exhaust is 2.5">2.25">2.75"


BTW NEW Total price of my exhaust manifold-back exhaust is $510

I just went ahead & had the exhaust installed by Nothing Leaves Stock. It doesn't seem as loud as yours, but I didn't think it would since I didn't go with the downpipe too. I'm very pleased with the tone though!

how's the fit? any rattling or anything? post some videos please i want to know what it sounds like with stock piping at the engine

now that i installed the cherry bomb i no longer have a rattle. i think the pipe i installed before to remove the resonator was literally half of an inch too short.

[08 VduB WaBBiT]

Sound Clip please with resonator installed??

[Justin14]

OP, it looks and sounds good.

Please post a vid up with the current setup.

thanks

i will do my best. i've been busy and on my days off i've been lazy but everyone needs to hear how much better is sounds now as compared to the original setup without the resonator.

i'm hoping that on friday i can get some videos at the latest by saturday night. Fingers crossed

[08 VduB WaBBiT]

Come on I wanna hear it.. Stop teasing

[2ptslo]

Here is a sound clip under the bridge and there will be more coming next week.

sounds pretty good

[Cherb32]

Any updates on how the system is treating you? Its a really tempting alternative for those strapped for cash.

This. Ive been in the market for an exhaust for a long time and I cant seem to pull the trigger on any of them. Ive read the feedback on purchases from various companies, looked at a lot of youtube videos, looked at dyno's etc.. I just want a good tone with little to no drone at a good price. Ive been leaning towards Eurojets Gen 2 ....but the sound in the vids from the OP isnt too bad. I think Ill either go Eurojet or Tsudo.....

I would go with AWE...but then its out of my price range and links like this scares me (he has a 08 rabbit):

http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthrea...uestion-Rabbit

If that kind of stuff happens that early...Id spend my money elsewhere. I wonder if its a common problem

[.T.o.n.y.]

There was a bit of drone before the installation of the cherry bomb but again the catalytic converter was removed. Im confident if you dont go to the extent we did this exhaust is a bang for the buck, great sound, a little bump in ponies and great looking tips. Ive installed everything from "Top name brand" parts to cheap ebay crap. I'll say this for an ebay exhaust if your on a budget and arent looking for anything more than a good sounding exhaust with good fitment this is it.

and it's an SRS racing exhaust not a Tsudo exhaust. you will be disappointed with the Tsudo exhaust. the only thing Tsudo is the Downpipe.

Good to know...thanks!

Updated sound clips plus an extra one of my buddy's 8valve turbo :)
