Sometime you get that weird feeling in the back of your throat...
...if it were me I wouldn't waste your time and money. As they say..."you get what you pay for..."
If its to gude to be true, it probably is bro.

An axleback is an axleback is an axleback. The performance increase from one to another will be negligible, so you should spend as little money as possible: you're only paying for a change in sound. I can't (and won't) guarantee that the eBay model won't sound like complete ___, but at least it won't have cost you very much.

i have it dude, its really nice. but you can do what you want. If you do the install to perfection so that it doesn't rub the bumper you will need to spend alot of time like I did. (about an hour and a half or so). but if you want an easy install go for the hks or somthing like that. but just to tell you i do have it and it is really nice.

With aftermarket parts, the name does matter, imo. No named stuff on ebay is always VERY questionable. Those exhausts will sound pretty gross, and might be too loud for most. Spend the extra money and get a quality exhaust. Sure its cheap, but will it last?

hey.. the trd (borla) exhaust note and the one of tsudo is really
close..
the borla design is actually like the stock.. just with a bigger tip..
the
stock exhaust setup is actually really good.. the piping.. i measured
the
pipeping when i did it.. and its already close to 2 1/4... thats why
most
exhaust companys that make something.. is 2 1/2.. which makes it sound
way
too loud and raspy.. the reason is.. the car is a 2.4 but still only a
4cly.. the only thing u want to run.. the biggest.. is 2 1/4.. the trd
is
really deep.. but sounds more like a factory exhaust with a rip.. while
the
tsudo.. sounds really good.. real deep tone.. i thin you'll like it..
and
its worth every 240 bucks of it.. the factory is like.. 525.. i already
talked to my dealer.. and the tsudo does not void warranty.. so im
guessing
im good.. the exhaust was only 240 .. i figured if it sounds like
____..
sell it.. but i really really like it.. im happy with it.. and it looks
crazy drving down the road.. u can see the full stainless piping under
the
car.. if your behind it.. looks really good.. just gotta keep it
clean.. i
listend to the one at the dealer.. inside.. the showroom car.. it had
the
borla.. and i also compared.. i like the tsudo way more.. more bang for
the
buck.. well.. lemme know wat u get.. thanks
