Default AFE Pro DRY S Stage-2 Intake + Invidia Mid-Pipe + Tsudo SP2 Axleback V2

AFE Pro DRY S Stage-2 Intake + Invidia Mid-Pipe + Tsudo SP2 Axleback V2

Installation Issue - Tsudo SP2 Axleback V2 has some filament issues, uneven exhaust tip alignment with bumper.

Sound - Very deep, no rasp, a bit of drone to my taste.

Will post a picture of intake and video soon.

Sometimes I wonder if I regret getting a white car compared to an obsidian.
Other than that it looks good! I can see the gap but I don't have OCD so that wouldn't bother me.

Obsidian paint is a double edge sword.. Love the way it looks when its polished and waxed, hate how fingernails can scratch the hell out of it.

Please post a video of your setup if you can please. I have this but with a Megan midpipe, Joe z with sport intake box, and resonator delete. I am very curious as to how this sounds in comparison... Thanks!

Congrats on your purchase. Sounds good. My tsudo is ever so slightly off as well. Doubt anyone will notice.

That actually does sound really good, thanks for posting the videos! I'm making a midpipe purchase this week and I was leaning more towards the Megan & Tanabe combo, but this is actually more affordable. The fitment issues have me a bit concerned, but how long did it take you to install?

Took about 20 minutes once she was on the jack stands for me and my neighbor to do it. I dont think anyone will notice the small fitment issues with the exhaust. In my opinion mine fits 9.5/10.

Ahh, I was afraid it would have to be modified or something. I've dealt with aftermarket exhausts before so I know how much of a pain they can be, but that doesn't sound bad at all. I still wish I could hear some of the combos in person, but I don't personally know any 2IS tuners around here. So I'll start with the Invidia midpipe and go from there.

I would recommend starting with an axel back of your choice before midpipes.
