nothing modified on the car, completely stock.
N1 is a bigger canister, which is slightly quieter. some people might or might not want the big 4.5" tip on it.

I used a tire iron from a mercury villager aka nissan quest, it has a small T at the end of it that perfectly fits in the silencer hole. Then just pulled/hammered it out with that.
FYI fireball is completely out of stock.

For the fitment issues on the xA there is an easy work around. If you look at the rear rubber hanger you'll notice that it's got quite a number of openings in it. Simply use the rear-most opening just below the point where the body mount goes thru the hanger. You still have the vibration isolation of the stock hanger and the exhaust tip will hang about 1" below the bumper.

BTW - I got my Tsuedo from speedelement on eBay as well. Very happy with the part and the service. And...no...I didn't paid for this either.

Sorry if I sound like a n00b, but how do these sound at higher rpms? I was sold on the Precision axleback since I've read that it quiets down at higher RPM's, but a more affordable alternative would be nice.

Thank You Speed Element for the exhaust. Just installed mine today. Sounds nice. This is my first aftermarket exhaust so I really didn't know what to expect. I have to admit that it seems louder than I imagined with the silencer. Oh well. gives me an excuse to buy a better sound system.

Fitment was nice and install took about an hour. Might have been less if I had a real floor jack.

My only concern is the clearance from the top of the tip to my bumper is about 3/4". That tip gets pretty hot and I'm a little concerned with burning my bumper? should it be ok?

Is the tip touching the bumper? Because the tip comes out further than the edge of the bumper there is less chance the hot exhaust gas will be able to burn the bumper. Try revving it and seeing if the tip ends up hitting it. Also (if you have an automatic) have someone put the car in drive and hold the car still, there is usually more engine movement at low rpm.
It should not be a problem, but try to check the bumper frequently, making sure the bumper paint is not wrinkling.

no, nothing is hitting. i was just wondering if the 3/4" was typical clearance.

Has anyone tried to install the Tsudo N1 exhaust on a Kenstyle rear lip?? Want to purchase but worried about the fitment.
