Smile Tsudo vs Invidia Midpipe Tones

Hey guys!

I know this question has been posted before but some time has passed and I was wondering if anyone has input or experience on the difference in tone of the 2 midpipes (NOT catback/axleback exhaust)... i.e. which is raspier? which is deeper?

Thanks in advance!

I know for sure that invidia midpipe is pretty raspy, tsudo is more quite and deeper

Thanks for the response! That's good to hear, I'm leaning towards Tsudo just because not many have tried it... deep/non-raspy tone is definitely preferred. is this from personal experience btw?

I am also looking into the tsudo midpipe for my is250. I already have the Invidia axelback I was wondering if the tsudo will fit with the invidia? Also does the tsudo have the holes for the o2 sensors?

I've heard it's a similar fit as the Invidia midpipe.... and I don't think it needs holes for O2 sensors. Our cars don't throw any codes or warning lights when the secondary cats are removed.

I read that the tsudo midpipe can be used with stock axelback and since the invidia axelback is the exact fit as stock I'm assuming it will fit properly. And I meant the o2 sensor holes you know where the o2 sensors plug into the exhaust. Codes will for sure come on if the o2 sensors aren't plugged in

Oh lol I didn't know that... I had a straight pipe at one point before with just 2.5" piping from headers back and no warning light ever came on.. & I believe there was no O2 sensors throughout the system

Good to know. I'm currently debating having a custom midpipe made or possibly trying to fit an Invidia or Tsudo midpipe.

So I just bought the tsudo midpipe to pair with my invidia axelback on my AWD is250. Going to get a shop to custom fit it. $280 US + shipping is an unreal price compared to invidia. Hopefully it's nice and loud and fits properly with the invidia axelback

I have the tsudo midpipe connected to my stock exhaust right now with no issues. I also had my F-sport axle back connected to the midpipe but right now I am in the process of polishing it up before reinstalling it to my IS350.The tsudo midpipe has the 02 sensor holes already predrilled and are located in the same area where the stock midpipe has them.

Thanks for clearing that up. Do you have any videos of the sound? I realize you only have the midpipe but did it make a big difference? I'm really hoping it wakes up my 250 a bit, I like the invidia axelback but it's not loud enough do you think this will help a lot? Also how's the quality of the system? I've never heard of Tsudo

I need to hear this. I have been watching videos of the Invidia mid with F-Sport exhaust and really like the sound.

That's what I was thinking too. I got it off their Amazon for $280 plus $60 shipping to the Niagara Falls NY. I checked the Part number and it's the same as their website so I'm not sure why there's a price difference
