You seem to forget Pure that here in Canada we have this thing called snow. That means i have snow tires on my other stock pair of wheels.
That is the reason the stock ones are on. I have not sold my OZ's as of yet.

Here is the first clips ,you notice it is louder at start up and then on the second clip you can hear the people talking which is drowning out it exhaust.
It get very quiet after running for 4 minutes.

Haha, you're crazy dude. I know out in Cali you guys NEVER get snow. I too have to put on a set of snow tires. I keep my stockers in the garage, that way I can easily put them back on around November.

That exhaust sounds really good. Looking forward to more shots! But only if you're willing SK.

There is one angle that looks amazing and that is from just above the tips. It shows how much they stick out ,just enough to read the L-sportline but nothing drastic. I'll try and get a new vid 2.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but...
I'm doing this now with stock resonators and mufflers. (moes performance Magnaflow X pipe for $67 free shipping)

This is my second set of after-OEM-has-died CATs.
The third one has got to go. (Y pipe cat)
I will decide whether or not to delete the resonators after I hear the X-pipe all by itself.

plus, I'm not bling-ing my ride, so I don't need a noise maker, just yet.
I may have a vid soon only IF you can hear a difference.
I know already you can tell on the inside the vrooom is much nicer with these new cats.

BTW - I just finished my homemade EGR block. (with a little help from Xirforever at lextreme)
While the shop is at it, I'm having them put the block plate on the lower end of the EGR pipe - might as well... they are down there working anyways.

Default X pipe in, EGR gone and mucho HP

Just got it back from the shop.
the LS sounds nice on the inside, but with the stock isht in the back it sputters a little while doing <3k.
...when you first get cranking, there is a nice vroom on the inside and MAN let me tell you, I think I got an extra 10 hp.

no kidding.

Oh, the EGR block probably helped too.

one thing to keep in mind, the pipes from the center back are small in diameter, probably 1 3/4 or maybe 2 inches. I probably should have got the 2.25 X pipe instead.

sorry no vid just yet, the wife has got the camera.
Overall - Its Quiet - can't even notice it. (loudness that is)
I was thinking about taking off the resonators and then you probably could tell, but this is just a start. With what I did for now, it leaves me room to play with what I have left in the rear.

might do what skperformance did.
now to spend time with the isuzu. she's been treating me bad since I've been cheating with the Lexus for so long.
