Thanks junjdm. I have a sound bite (1min video), but not sure how to post it. After listening to it though, it doesn't sound anything like it does in real life though, so it really does not do it justice. I personally like it. Not too aggressive and not obnoxious. Just a small noticeable growl.

As for pictures of the whole car in different angles, I do have some before the exhaust was installed. I can probably post those. I have been putting it off like I mentioned earlier. Look for another thread real soon on that.

I don't have an account, and don't really have any interest at the moment to create one. I can pass it along to you via email if you really want to check it out, then maybe you can post it. PM me if you are interested.

Wow, I like the tips, thick + double-walled.
I don't like the thin single wall exhaust tips.
Can't wait for the sound clips.

Here is the only shot I have from the side, and it isn't a full side shot.

Not loud at all. Very subtle, but noticeable if you are listening for it.

Mufflers look crazy.
Wondering what are the prices ? I'm am looking for something similar but I don't want to much of. A aggressive noise really want it more for looks, love the look and of course as u know the 2001 ls 430 has nothing..I also want to know if anyone know when the Katz have to be changed??
