Why are u worried? Its almost TOO easy to pass an inspection here if u know anyone

steveski

yup and if the welder makes good seams if you extend pipes there won't be leaks. The LS is real clean especially if regular service intervals are performed.

I hate surprises and like to check things out.

Passing will be no problem at this point.

I appreciate your comments, however.

Take care,

Lexmex

ohh foreal? nicee haha i think ima try to do those before the summer ends

Guys unless your LS is neglected from a service perspective it will pass all day long with a muffler delete. I need to find my emission numbers and post after I deleted "all" resonators. They guy said it was the cleanest car he had ever seen especially with mega miles on it.

A clean burning LS with stainless wide open mufflers that you can hear

how does it sound with mufflers and resonators removed? not too loud right? i dont want it to sound like a little ricer car

theres no such thing as a ricey v8 car...unless u have n1 mufflers from ebay....get rid of those mufflers and resonators and let the lexus roar.

pwrdbyrice

haha thats true. fasho

Yeah mine with just the resonators removed with OEM mufflers sounded cool -a low pitch V8 growl. Even on the inside the sound was minimal.

When I removed all the resonators and added Magnaflow mufflers it got quite a bit louder even in the cabin - I like it though.

I made some videos - here a link: They are old but you'll get an idea
