Alright! Cats are in. Reduced a ton of rasp, but still might do something for a little less rasp in the future.
Onto the fun stuff. I started working on custom sub boxes, and air setup for my trunk. I had the Terminator subs from amazon and a boss amp. Time to get away from that stuff. I was looking for some speakers that were a lot more high quality, so I settled on some 4ohm 8" dual voice coil kicker subs. Got two of them. To go with them I started making some sub boxes. I followed what @specONE did a little bit. Used cardboard to get the shape, then cut out of wood. The one thing I cant get it the fiberglass. I tried and it was too difficult. Any ideas? I'm still thinking.
Need some way to make the backing of the enclosure. I made the bottom piece and face piece out of wood. Also the thing that covers the spare and tools I made out of wood too, didnt snag a pic though.
Car gets its wheels repaired today also! Lots of things happening!
just wanted to share how my trunk set up is since you are doing corner subs. I got 2 10s
That setup looks awesome! Did you make those subboxes yourself?
Thank you. No i got it custom made at our local car audio shop. I did the floor and rearrange the air tank set up. I have couple things i am adding this weekend to it.

How much did they charge you for those sub boxes if you dont mind me asking?
Just added a tank and compressor cover and change the airlift face to red. Some few more add ons. Just sharing to give you some ideas.
Wow. That looks extremely good. Unfortuneately with how things played out, I ended up getting a ported box for my subs instead of the pods. I couldnt find a shop to make them for anything even close to reasonably priced.
Little update:
I LOVE the PPE headers. They're amazing and really complete about the last performance upgrade I can do to my motor with the exception of forced induction. However, I think with my current exhaust setup, I'm sacrificing a few HP in the lack of backpressure. Not only this, but The vibrations and rasp is still a little much for me, even with the magnaflow cats. I've decided to go with an ARK GRiP catback, which will pair nicely with my PPE Headers. Hopefully that will be the last rendition of the exhaust on my car. I have my current exhaust, which sounds amazing on stock headers listed in the classifieds if anyone's interested.

Just make it on your own. Youtube has a lot of diy videos on how to. If i only had time and had experienced with fiber glass and resin i would have done it myself.

I love the ARK catback exhaust. I have one on and sounds amazing with stock headers in Fsport mode. I had to take the metal in the center bottom of the car thats protecting the exhaust where the rattling is coming from. I love the popping sounds on downshift.
Cool update! Got the ARK and it sounds amazing with the headers. Exactly what I wanted. Also got an aero kit! Heres some pics! It really changes the look of the RC!
If anyone recalls, I had my DRL’s done by @Gerxiong89 , full RGB and sequential turn signals and the whole 9 yards. I want to announce my partial sponsorship with Gerlicious Performance for the tail light build of for my car! Ger is going to be doing a full build of tail lights on the car. I couldn’t be more excited. I’ll update when I get back in town and install them.
How do you like the RR racing tune? I was thinking of doing that to mine. Did it make a huge difference? What do you think the HP increase was?
RR Tune is amazing. I have 0 complaints. It makes a huge difference especially when paired with PPE Headers. Its about a 40~ WHP increase. Sure, there might be another tune out there, but RR's tune is known for retaining the Lexus Reliability. They have thousands of hard track proven miles on their tunes with no problems.
