For the exhaust, as for the axle back, it would void the stock muffler warranty (obviously) but I don't see the problem swapping back to stock as it is plug and play.

I'm guessing the suspension warranty would be void, but then again, I don't think they'll blacklist your car.

Got my springs in and my wheels redone! Off to the shop on Friday for a drop and the new Pilot Super Sport tires and the F Sport rims go in next week after the alignment.

Also, regarding the Joe Z with stock cats, I will never know as I took out the stock system and I'm in the process of making a full custom system that leads to the Joe Z axle back.
Sadly no, I've been too lazy and busy recently to take fly-by videos. I really want to make some but just never got around to doing it.

Regarding the system:
Personally I got resonators added in today (18" GT Speed T304 Stainless Steel Custom resonators- in house brand at GT Custom Exhaust Pickering) because the system with straight pipes was way too loud and produced too much drone. The two resonators cut approximately 80% of the drone in cabin and decreased the exhaust loudness by around 15%. Cost me $350. I'm still thinking of whether I should add in a custom X-pipe in order to balance the exhaust and cut the last remaining drone that can be eliminated. But it is $200 for the X pipe and I'm afraid it will do next to nothing. Oh well... The law of diminishing returns.
