Will do some research, but pretty sure those bottle ones will be louder than the Ultras, and I don't want to go any louder than his in his clip.

How big is your clip? Maybe could just do it by email?
I can say it's an upgrade, kept the drone down for me and it sounds like an aftermarket exhaust afterwards. I can email both clips to you for comparison if you'd like, one with just tsudo axleback(before) and what I have now.

Excellent! I'll PM you my email.

And yeah -- at $399 it's a no brainer, as the mandrel shop here was going to hit me for way more just in labour for a custom catback system. $400 is worth it for the 2.5" chromed mandrel piping alone. For some reason Tsudo only seem to ever have the burnt tips versions available which aren't my preference, but then maybe it just gives me excuse to go '17 diffuser and quads.

Hey bud, you're probably not active anymore but any chance you can send over those clips too? I'm considering the Tsudo but not sure I should go through with it if I have to do all the other custom exhaust work

Thank you!

Just to confirm, you did a cat delete and put in an x pipe in its place, then changed the OEM resonators to vibrant ultra quiets and then to the Tsudo axleback?
