Sounds pretty good to me..

Planning to do this soon within the next month for a quad set-up, unless I find a better option.

Like always, video doesn't do it justice. It does sound pretty nice though. Is it raspy or deep?

Not sure, not my car. I've always been trying to find a video with straight pipes after the resonator, but it seems like that's not a very popular method. Straight pipes replacing the mid pipe to the back seems very popular, but too loud and without a doubt a lot of drone.

Wow u want to remove your exhuast for sound bc you don't have money to buy an aftermarket exhaust but u own a lexus? What's wrong with the world and their priorities these days? Why don't u just spend $100 on a muffler and have a muffler shop cut and weild it on? It'll cost 2-300 total altogether if that? If u can't even afford that and still want the sound of loud exhaust then just poke some holes in your mufflers or pipes I guess?

You can also do a Resonator delete. Removing your muffler will NOT give it a clean sound. It might sound cool and loud but after the 5th day you'll annoy yourself, passengers and everyone around. I understand when people do this to a Corvette, Camaro, Trans AM, muscle cars. Total two different sounds.

FYI, I am 17 years old and i pay a note on my car every month so I dont really have any extra money to save, so all i was doing was looking for a free way to make my car sound better, if thats okay with you

Sorry bro wasn't tryin to knock you, I just didn't see any logic in doing such a mod but then again i just remembered when I was 16 my first car was a Mitsubishi eclipse GSX and I removed the cover for the filter box just to make it sound like I had intake.
