Great, glad you are happy.

I've now had mine since August last year and have since added a Megan midpipe, Joe Z intake with F-sport air box, and removed the resonator. The car sounds perfect and definitely unique compared to the other 2IS I've heard locally. Not loud necessarily but definitely not quite either.. Also I love how many compliments it gets. The tips are big and fill in the holes of the GFX rear lip very nicely! All in all, best exhaust for the money. Especially when paired with Megan mid.

I am thoroughly happy with how it sounds.

The wife and I went for a long drive today and it seems to have become a bit deeper, with more of a growl. We're pleased. The drone is hardly noticeable unless the windows are down. For us, the sound is perfect without any additional mods to the exhaust. I have a Joez intake and a hole in the air box ala F Sport.

Tro209, it does fill in the cut outs nicely. I like it. Like you, plenty of compliments.

What's funny is that being my first aftermarket exhaust, when I ordered it I didn't even take into account just how big the tips were.. I saw a short (arguably bad quality) video on YouTube but figured for the price and what another member has told me, it was the best I could get for the amount I wanted to spend.

So when the day came and I finally got my exhaust I went straight to the muffler shape to have it installed. I was so excited I didn't even take the exhaust out the box!! Lol! So once the installer had my car on the lift and pulled the exhaust of the freshly delivered box, my eyes just opened wide in when I saw how big the tips were. I had my nephew with me that day too and even he said if I knew the exhaust was that big lol. Clearly I didn't.. At first when I saw it I thought it would look bad or dare I say ugly on the car since I didnt want big tips, I was hoping for more of an fsport exhaust size tip. But damn, once they had the exhaust hooked up and on the ground and I saw how the tips actually fit the holes perfectly, I was in love..

On top of that the exhaust (with resonator deleted) sounds pretty darn good and finally gave my car the sound I was looking for. Before the Tsudo I only had stock exhaust with resonator delete and f sport airbox. So the change to an axle back, let alone one from eBay that I thought wasnt gonna be all that great but actually is, blew me away and I was very happy I decided to try something different instead of the old M2/Tanabe exhaust.

Seriously, the Tsudo in my opinion should cost more, but it doesn't and that's what makes it a great buy. No way will I let this exhaust go for another, even now that I have more money to spend freely on my car than I used to. It looks too damn good, sounds great, and is affordable. Honestly, if any of you guys dont have an exhaust yet I highly recommend this one. And like I said, with the addition of a midpipe it's just awesome.

When I removed the mufflers from their packaging and looked at the exhaust tips I contemplated sending them back. I was sure that they were going to look horrible on the car. Luckily, I was wrong. It's interesting that we had similar experiences.

As for the sound. I am quite happy with how it sound now. With the midpipe/resonator delete, what changed? How did it change? Louder, I suppose. Deeper, perhaps? I am okay with the cruising drone that exists now but wouldn't like anything louder.

Thanks.

To be honest I have no idea how it sounds with the resonator on lol. My car had the resonator removed before I put the exhaust on and I didn't wanna bother putting it on since I wanted more loud. I'll tell you this though, if you don't want drone, keep the resonator on.

When I got the Megan midpipe installed however it did have the Megan resonator on during my initial install. I would say it definitely got deeper with the midpipe but it was also quiter... So after about 1 hour or so I went back and chopped off the Megan resonator I guess I just like drone lol.

That's all personal preference though. If you ride in my car or are even around in general you will see that the car definitely drones. But with that being said it's also not as loud as a cheap Honda or those 350z guys. In my opinion it's a great balance and could not be happier

any vendors here for tsudo exhaust ?

I could be wrong but semotors may be the only one who sells it now. It's already very affordable but 10% off always helps!!! Still loving it.

I was browsing Houston's Craigslist earlier for some parts.

https://houston.craigslist.org/pts/d/lexus-is250-is350-tsudo-axle/6633107334.html

Contact the guy he might be a CL member willing to ship.

Good find but he only wants to do local unfortunately.

I'm probably going to go with version 1 and get a good shop to make the fitment right.

Thanks for your post! Reading that gave me more confidence and I went ahead and placed the order just now.

I am planning on installing it myself and if I run into any fitment problems I'll take it to a shop to get it right.

Feel free to post the close up pic if you get the chance. I'll also post mine when it's ready.

Is Tsudo/SE Motors still selling these for 2nd Gen IS250/350's?
