Wonder you guys can help me...I'm thinking about picking up Tsudo down pipe but don't know if is any good. So I wonder if guys could give me some advice? or recommend what kind of down pipe is good for my 04STI. Thanks

 

Do You Want Cats?

 

I don't mind.....though I saw lots of down pipe didn't have cat.

 

I never thought of that brand...

 

What's your budget?

 

I had the helix up and dp (totally catless) and performance wise it was great, but I live in Ca. and we have really strict smog laws. Right now I have the uppipe and stock dp, I'm looking into the stromung dp(cheap~$200.) so I can keep one of my cats.

 

The Tsudo one looks OK but having a $30K car...don't you want something a bit more "name brand" like a PDE or something?

 

^^ Agree.

 

I installed one of those for a friend, and it seemed to bolt up and fit pretty well. Besides having to cut the heatshield, and having the A/C line touching on it, the downpipe seems of good quality.

 

As for down pipe I don't really care what brand as long it does the job! Their certain thing I go for the brand and some don't. Saying that it touch the A/C line, did you have to bend the line alot?

 

If I remember, yeah quite a bit. The same problem persists with some other bellmouth downpipes too.

 

When I think of Tsudo, I think of universal mufflers with the twin tips angled upwards. Supposed "DTM" style.

 

i don't think psudo ( or whatever the brand is) makes quality exhausts. unless you don't really care what you put on your car, some go for looks, and others performance. and some can't afford what they want so they settle.. then a select few wait patiently ..... just my 2 cents

 

Well I'm about to try a funky named brand called ERZ...BUT, Big D said that he heard good things so I'll let ya know...hopefully I won't have that AC line problem.
