Tsudo exhaust - add midpipe or delete/replace resonator?
Hi all,
I installed a Tsudo axle back on my IS350. It has a nice drone while revving in low gears and goes away in 5th and 6th gear cruising.
Problem I'm having is that I can barely hear the exhaust when I rev past 3.5k-4k rpms. The drone goes away and all I hear is the engine and it sounds stock at high rpms. I'm also planning on doing the budget f-sport intake mod where I cut a big hole in the intake. I've heard great things about it, I just haven't had the tools lol.
I'm wondering if I should get an Invidia midpipe or try a resonator delete/aftermarket resonator. The resonators aren't very expensive, neither is a delete but not sure if I'll hear the exhaust at higher rpms. The invidia midpipe is an option but it's another $320 for the part and around $100 for the install, considering I already spent a couple hundred on my exhaust I'd rather spend less right now lol.
What recommendations do you have? Thanks

I have the Tsudo as well and I love it . I’ve thought about adding a megan midpipe if it doesn’t change the tone . I’ve heard it with the invidia middy on a buddy’s car with the Tsudo and it sounds nice. You can delete the secondary cats as well to see how it sounds.

I too prefer the megan midpipe. The invidia probably makes a little more hp since it’s less restrictive though. There is a guy selling a barely used Invida mid pipe here in VA for 300 if you want to make the drive.

I emailed someone who's selling a Megan midpipe for $130 shipped, it sounds too good to be true and they're only accepting PayPal gift even though I offered to pay the fees for buyer & seller protection.

Yeah. Be careful out there. Tons of scammers. I would tell him to pound sand.
