yeah man! its a hell of a difference. I have the tsudo exhaust and had it for a week with the stock hangers, the difference was a lot when i put in the TS hangers, much less vibration inside and no exhaust play... Great product

I thought that by putting those since they are really solid it would bring more vibration to the cabin but ive noticed less vibration and plus i dont have the exhaust doing whatever the hell it wants to, like when you turn on the car or go on a curve, it does not wiggle. in my opinion i like very much the ts hangers

So on stock hangers the exhaust immediately started rattling against this metal bracket:

so i used some leftover AC insulation wrapped into foil

So as a result I took the bracket off completely

Whoa...isn't that supposed to be for chassis rigidity? Looks like someone is probably going to be getting some TS hangers...

yeah most likely however it's not located in the most crucial place so it's not that big of a deal. center of the car experiences very little force since it's the center of rotation...blah blah haha

however it also could have been there to just prevent exhaust from falling off in the future when the hangers fall apart

That was the exhaust I was going to go with. I am a little surprised the stock exhaust is lighter. I shaved 40lbs off the evo with my exhaust.


On a side note: How did you shrink yourself down to get under the car for the pictures?

If I remember correctly, stock was roughly 32lbs and Descendant was ~36lbs

stock has smaller pipe diameter and thinner connecting joints

Default LED strips

for just the speakers.. did you buy a 60 led strip of wlfs and a 30 swlfs? also how would you cut the leds and reattach them? for example we would cut the swfls into two for each side.. but the wire would only be attached to one? please help in anyway possible. thanks!
I bought this model: WFLS-B60


I believe I bought 3 60LED weather proof black strips

I figured it out by measuring diameters of the speaker grilles and then found the exact circumference by a formula
Circumference = 2 x PI x Radius where radius is half diameter of course

the strips are 40 inches long which is roughly a 1 meter

Yes you have to cut them and then solder. Its very small and tediuos job but I have a microscope at work and soldering under it is a breeze!

If anyone needs help with soldering, I could do it for you for a couple bucks or even free. Obvi you have to pay shipping

I find soldering relaxing lol


here is a pic of the LED up close, you can only cut where you see scissors and then you have to solder onto those 2 little copper lead
