Default Tsudo mid pipe

Does anyone have the tsudo mid pipe? Considering buying it but I'd like to know what experiences people have with it.

I have owned the midpipe for a year now and have paired with several different axle backs. Fitment is really good. Not sure what type of feedback your looking to get.

I have a muffler delete and I'm looking for a little louder and deeper tone.

Any mid pipe will assist you in accomplishing this

I would pair a invidia midpipe with an axleback of your liking.

I got the tsudo midpipe on for a couple months and I love it. It’s loud but not annoying loud but it’s just the good amount I got it paired with the invidia axleback while cruising sounds like nothing

Do you by chance have a sound clip?

What was your favorite axle back setup with this mid pipe?

currently running a tsudo mid pipe, has 2nd cats deleted so makes it a little bit louder. from what i heard it's similar to the invidia midpipe although i havent really compared but i recommend pairing it with a good axleback to unlock the full sound potential

Had my midpipe installed today. it gets rid of the 2nd cats, the piping is 1/4 wider i think, and had 2 smaller resonators. This mated to the invidia axleback, has a roaring aggressive sound. sometimes when i downshift, it pops. acceleration has more response. there is a burning chemical smell which comes from the primary cats that would have been filtered thru the 2nd cats.

This happens under hard acceleration and should go away after you break in the new midpipe.



stock midpipe with 2nd cats(top) and stock resonators(bot)


tsudo midpipe

piping with inserts for the sensors

piping from primary cats

entire tsudo midpipe hooked up

smaller resonators

I'm gonna upload some videos soon....

did they have to do any cutting or welding of the pipe when removing and installing the new one? And did they have to do something with the O2 sensors? Wondering bc id like to do this myself but not sure if I am capable. Thank you in advance.

It's plug and play. O2 sensors plug right into the tsudo midpipe as it comes with slots you tighten the sensors into.

My original midpipe's flanges were rusted shut with the bolts, so we had to heat it up with a torch to get them out.

One thing to note, it really wakes up the exhaust with a proper axleback or muffler delete. but with the stock mufflers on, it's pretty much stock quiet.
