Like the title says, I'm searching for a TSE3 Exhaust for my sedan. Anyone have any leads for a used one?

Thanks in advance

I am considering selling mine, but I’m months away from that decision.

Lol no.

I love how the car sounds inside with the windows up, but it is a few decibels high on the “look at me, bro” column with windows down and below 3k RPM, IMO.

Will do! You might reach out to me around March/April.

Yea, its a bit loud for many. What would be your options? (trying to get you to sell it. LOL)

Honestly? Probably back to stock. I'd keep my GruppeM intake though, which is a nice boost in dB above 3k RPM at WOT over the stock airbox.

Will, why don't you try running just the rear Corsa muffler and keep the rest stock? I don't like it either when it's too loud and this was a perfect setup for me. Not too loud and not too quiet, just perfect.

That's a thought. I am not particularly inclined to cut my stock exhaust though. Who knows. My mind may very well change in the future.

It's not a big deal really. That's how the muffler shop did it for me, cut off the old muffler and clamped the new one in.
No welding and if you ever want to go back fully stock, you just clamp the stock muffler back.

I think you would be very happy with this setup.

Lol. Just don’t list your exhaust. I’ll take it whenever you’re ready to part with it. [emoji1303]

I had the axleback installed today. At first I thought it was a bit quieter in some areas than the stock exhaust. But that seems to have been due to the sound insulation from the box with the old exhaust in the trunk. Does the exhaust break in a little or does it stay consistent with how it sounds when new?

The shop ran into a problem with fitting the the pipes on to the stock pipes. The pipes provided did not seem to reduce enough to be able to clamped on to the old pipes. I'm not sure how that came about, but they were too loose.

Sorry for the bump for those looking for the exhaust.

Does this mean your TSE3 is going to be ready to go for Dustin now?! :)

I think the sound will not change over time.

This is a good deal. Anyone ever buy from this vendor?

I purchased some Megan racing rear arms from them. Had no issues with them.
