Question question about exhaust work..

ok I currently have the magnaflow cat back system, and I was wondering, would if be worth it to get the tsudo axle back exhaust custom fitted to the magnaflow system? if anyone thinks its stupid let me kno, lol I dont want to do stuff that isnt worth the work. I just want my exhaust to sound louder but keep all the piping..

I kinda want a deep tone but also loud, does that make any sense? Any time I would floor my car I would hear more of my intake then my exhaust..

I didn't like the magnaflow exhaust when I was choosing an exhaust. I felt like the company was good for American muscle cars, not Japanese economy cars.

I have the tsudo axle, its plenty loud (esp. when you floor it along with rrm sri v2 noisemaker intake lol). It looks an attention ***** rice exhaust, but I like the high profile look and it actually sounds really nice in my opinion.

It has a nice deep rumble, right in middle between either extreme (a high pitched screaming honda and a v8 straight pipe mustang lol). The noise level can be controlled well at low speeds to not attract 5-0, but it can def. be heard when you haul. Lets just say I wouldn't recommend going in parking garages with ticket happy 5-0 inside.

***You're best bet would be to just sell your whole magna flow online and buy a tsudo on ebay (can get it for 205-210 w/ shipping if you find a seller that allows you to haggle from the standard price of $220 USD).

Then, just go get a shop to custom make the rest 4 cheap...unless you were sure mixing the exhausts would be a good idea. If you sold your magna for a good price, you will prolly come pretty close to covering the price of the project. Sorry, I guess I didn't really answer your question, but I hope i gave you some helpful input.

You could also keep what you have and get a header. That will add to the sound level, should free up the exhaust flow a bit, and will retain what you have already.

haha no u did help, I just wanted people who had the tsudo exhaust the describe the noise really and that was perfect. But i think Im going to keep the magnaflow mid pipes because I believe the piping is 2.25 and the stock piping is 1.8. Bigger pipes, more flow, so ill just see if the auto shop can custom fit the tsudo somehow, if not then im going to sell the magnaflow system. thanks a bunch dude
