Apex is a higher quality exhaust. But surprisingly, the Tsudo is one of the only exhausts that doesn't taper down to <2.0" to mate with the stock cat. All the standard Apex, Greddy, Tanabe, etc have that bottleneck built in.

I had it on my 98 civic ex...never rusted..sounded great..really deep, kinda loud though...never saw it or heard it on a prelude but i bet it would sound way better than a 1.6lt sohc civic.
i may try it out im sure ebay has it..i'll write a thread about it if i get it

Apex will have that really high ricey type pitch to it, Tsudo has the deeper sound, which i like beacuse you get more of a stronger gurgle. It just sounds better overall than the N-1 and performance theres not much of a difference.

I'm looking at buying a Tsudo N1 for my fifth-gen. I'm on a budget, and I hear it's a decent exhaust for the money.

On a scale of 1-10, one being the quietest, 10 being loudest, what would you rate the Tsudo with and without the silencer? Does it drone on the highway? Please don't answer unless you've actually heard one one, either.

you really don't hear the exhaust no more once you go turbo, it just muffles the sound

yeah... but i would say the tsudo is quieter than the N1 bc it has a long resonator compared to the N1 and other exhaust systems... that are tube style mufflers

i have a stainless steel polished tsudo N-1 and its sick, 2.5" piping, hiflow cat, sounds great especially on a turbo car. i would suggest getting one, i paid like 275$ and its sick, my friend has one on his rsx-s and its the same, nice deep tone, with a 4.5" tip

alot better than 700$ for an apexi, and if your looking to get alot of hp look into something other than an exhaust

Well, I ordered it this morning. For $242 shipped, you can't beat the price. I'll take pics when it arrives.

Well, I just got the Tsudo exhaust. It looks pretty nice. Good welds, etc. The seller I bought it from said it'd fit both the base and SH because it came with an extra pipe extension. I have an SH, although the box says non SH. I assume I just won't install this pipe pictured below.

Is that the length difference between the base and SH exhaust systems?


Here a few other images:




It is the full cat-back system, but I didn't take any pics of the piping. It's stainless, mandrel-bent with good welds.

Can anyone tell me if that little extension pipe is the difference between the SH and base?

i see no other use for that little peice so its probably the sh/non-sh thing.....

i have heard the tsudo on an h22 before and i didnt like it much......

it sounds like the cheap exhausts do, overly deep at low throttle low rpm, and overloads itself and goes way raspy when you stomp it, too raspy....

my full-stainless apexi GT Spec growls like none other, and while the tag was big, it was worth every penny.....
