Thats the same thing as the M2 exhaust I mentioned above. Which is essentially a Tanabe replica. Manzo and M2 are the same as far as I know.

Manzo is based in So Cal I was on their website. I was looking at online reviews--some good but mostly bad--cheap China copy. IDK. May just keep stock exhaust.

I wouldn't buy no replica china exhaust thats for sure.. If your gonna do it do it right.. Tanabe isn't that expensive in comparison to other exhausts and mods for our cars

Tsudo isnt "that" loud. And its an awesome exhaust for the money. Tro and I both have it. His is paired with a midpipe and no resonators. Im running just the axle back .sounds killer

For those of you with the Tanabe... Is it just me, or does the exhaust get a little louder as the car warms up? Almost like a leak. I picked it up from a member on here recently, his gasket on the driver side muffler was done, so I replaced it with a gasket that seemed to match it's size from Advance Auto (a Walker 31534). Not feeling any leaks from that gasket though, and none from the midpipe either (reused the original donut gasket). Maybe I'm overthinking it a bit, this is the first time I've done any exhaust modifications on my cars, so I'm not exactly sure how it should sound.

I've never experienced that before. For me, the only time I felt that the Tanabe got louder was when all the inner "packing" material burned off when brand new.
