Default Review

Hi,

here a small review after installing my exhaust:

My configuration:
- TDX cat back exhaust system (polished stainless steel, 18" resonated)
- High flow cats (non polished, non resonated)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++
1. Sound / Performance

The most important thing first :-) It sounds absoluty perfect for me!!!
DEEEEP ROAAWWW in low RPM's and changes his tone in higher RPM's to a
nice racy note. Very aggressive sound without annoying drone just how I
imagined. There is some hissing if you let off the pedal and in the first
moments it's a little bit weird but after some days I liked it very much.
From outside the car you don't notice that very much. The configuration with
the 18'' resonators is very nice, not to loud and not to quiet, perfect for
my ears and taste without the feeling of ghetto tuning.

Regarding the performance:
That didn't play a major role for me, but I don't say no to some gains.
What I noticed surely was that I have to spend more money for fuel, because
I always want to here the exhaust roar, hehe.

=> Points: 10 / 10
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++
2. Quality / Value

The quality of the exhaust is impressive, the material which was used is
absolute great and the welds are looking perfect. The system hadn't any
scratches or dents and was polished like a diamond and that after a long way
to Chile. I was quite a little afraid to touch this piece of jewelry :-)
Any inch of the exhaust is worth the money!!!

=> Points 10 / 10

3. Installation

Because I live in Chile and the local exhausts shops aren't very good, I decided
to install the parts by myself. Huii, these were my first parts I installed on
any of my cars but with the good instructions I hadn't any problems. Only the
catalytic bolts were dificult and I broke them off of the old parts. Finally I
needed 10 hours but only because I did all things slow and double checked every
part. For the final alignment I used some nuts/gaskets on the passenger side to
put this side a little bit down.

=> Points 10 / 10

4. Final thoughts

Hmm, nothing more to say, all went absolutly perfect including the excellent customer
support. All I can say to Tony is a big !!!THANKS!!!!
