Tsudo Exhaust?

I recently had a custom exhaust built for my '99 Honda EX. I plan on getting a Turbo so the shop recommended a 3" exhaust. I have that on and it is LOUD AS HELL!! They tell me it will be much quieter with the turbo on.

I am looking for another exhaust until I save up for the turbo. I can't hear myself think in the car at cruising speed! They cut my old Cat to get the 3" on, so I need a new Cat, which isn't stocked by most parts stores.

Looking on line I saw Tsudo exhausts for $300. Are they relatively quiet? I don't want to throw another $300 in the trash!

Should I say screw it and just get a new cat for $170?

Where did you find the cat for $80. I have done searches for them on the net and can't find them. I am about to call the company HQ.

I got my 3" Carsound for $60 shipped. It's $5 less for 2.5" and smaller. Just have a muffler shop put flanges on it, and an O2 bung since you're OBD-II

I got a tsudo fireball exhaust on my 97 civic ex coupe. Its one of those cheapy exhaust that i got off ebay for 340 with shipping. Ive had the exhaust for 2 months and finally had the chance to install it yesterday. Man its fuccen loud! Its so loud that i can hardly hear my stereo anymore. I have to crank it way up. Its embarassing...when i drive people turn heads and look at me like i did something to them. LoL It'll only be a matter of time before some pig gives my ass a ticket. When I installed it, I went and took my civic for a cruise to test it, and the damn resonator fell off!! FUCCC. Anyone got a tsudo fireball exhaust resonator they wanna sell me? Hit me up. The link is on the bottom for the product.
