Dear Members,

I love talking about modifying the exhaust on the IS-F... I was suppose do mine last week...but ran out of time and leaving for vacation next week so it will have to go in 2 weeks...

I am just frustrated that the members whom did modify the exhaust DOES NOT POST A VIDEO!!!

I can't wait to hear it, I feel like a 4 year old crying for candy... lol

Please post a video!! Everyday I drive my car and I'm like``can't wait to do custom exhaust; can't wait to do custom exhaust`` and everyday I'm checking on this forum and you tube to see if someone posted there modified exhaust video..

So again please post a video for a poor little 29 year old...
LOL

Regards,

CL

So take out the resonator, primary and secondary cats and no CEL lights. On my IS350 I did the LMS cat back exhaust which remove the secondary cats and left the primarys on, also which was an H pipe which would have thown the check engine light they claimed 22whp.

nah man.. im pretty sure if you remove the primary cats, without adding an 02 simulator, that a CEL will go on. i removed the secondary cats and the resonator after it. otherwise, all the piping is stock. i dont remember seeing an H or X pipe. i think the exhaust is a true dual until it gets to that resonator.

LMS.. does that stand for la brea motorsports? out here in the san fernando valley?
