New 2004-2008 Acura TL Catback Exhaust System

Posted by Andy in New Products, Test Fits / Prototypes, Tsudo Performance on May 31st, 2009

New Speed-Element designed cat-back exhaust system for 04-08 third generation Acura TL! ETA August 2009
Don’t pay upwards of $1000 for other price-gouging competitors!
Increases horsepower with a smooth and deep exhaust note.
2.5″ piping attaches to the catalytic converter, with a Y-pipe split to dual 2.25″ piping into two SP style mufflers. Rolled muffler tips for a refined and subtle look.
Made out of 100% T-304 stainless steel and fully polished to a mirror-like finish.
Other brands use cheap and unreliable slip-fit pipes with clamps, we use thick exhaust flanges for a guaranteed leak-free install.

2008-2010 Mitsubishi Evolution X SE Cat-back / Test-Pipe Exhaust Dyno Test

Posted by Andy in Dyno Tests, New Products, Test Fits / Prototypes, Tsudo Performance on May 13th, 2009

Check out our dyno video and soundclip below!

Tsudo 08-10 Mitsubishi Evolution X SE catback with test-pipe exhaust dyno test. HUGE performance gain over OEM.

Test vehicle was 100% stock with no modifications.

+63.0whp / +12.6wtq gain with BOLT-ON Tsudo exhaust with BONE STOCK airbox!

+76.9whp / +45.2wtq gain with BOLT-ON Tsudo exhaust and stock airbox with cone filter!

NO TUNING, NO BOOST CONTROLLER, NO ECU FLASHING, AND NO GIMMICKS TO IMPROVE THE NUMBERS LIKE OTHER COMPANIES. 100% BOLT-ON TESTING

Dyno sheets attached. All numbers SAE corrected, 3 runs for each modification, 9 runs total.

Run on Dynapack 4WD dyno at DRIFTSPEED in Los Alamitos, CA.

Dyno Video:

Base-line run with stock engine: 236.0whp / 247.9wtq

Tsudo exhaust ONLY (stock intake): 299.0whp (+63.0whp) / 260.5wtq (+12.6wtq)

Tsudo exhaust (stock airbox with cone filter): 312.9whp (+76.9whp) / 293.1wtq (+45.2wtq)

Comparison between stock airbox and cone filter WITH Tsudo exhaust (different runs than shown above)
The difference between runs is less than 1 horsepower or 1 lb/ft torque when using the very repeatable Dynapack dyno
