I have had this exhaust on for sometime now. It definitely has gotten a little louder. Have a vibration when starting from a dead stop. I believe thats from the shield under the battery touching the exhaust. Should be an easy fix. My problem is when I load my car up full of people. When I first get going I get this strange sound. It is kind of like a pocket of air is traveling through the exhaust and making an echoing sound in the process. It does it three or four times and then its done. It only does it if there is more than two people in the vehicle. Any ideas? Anyone wanna trade exhausts? lol.

Exhaust pipe

Nice pictures, thinking of getting the same exhaust.... ???

How come it looks like some rust around some of the welds, is it just the picture?? It is full T304 Stainless correct...

Hi I just got my Tsudo Catback Exhaust, Finished installing.. Mine had no dents and the flanges were perfectly flat, no need for red p-tex. Sound is a bit louder then I thought but it sounds good. Also smokes, should stop after a little burn in time...
Quite happy, looks good sounds good and it's SS so it won't rust..

So i was talking to the guys at http://www.speed-element.com/servlet...muffler/Detail
What a bunch of A-Holes.. The exhaust is misrepresented, they would not return it.
If your looking for this VERY Loud whinny race sound then buy it. But if you like to listen to music or chat with your passenger..
I hate the loud sound. But do yourself a favor and don't buy anything from from these speed-element guys

Hey Targa Bill, I don't want to sound like a ***** or anything at all, just an honest question, is it possible the exhaust is leaking out of one of the flanges? or even out of a weld spot? Just trying to save you some money, and the rust problem, get some heat-proof flat black paint and go to town on the welds, just my own opinion, sorry about the problems you've had with it. I don't have a Tsudo, but i always hate to hear someone isn't having a great experience with a company
