you tube it.

I would advise against it unless boosted. Atleast put a muffler on it w/ 3 inch inlet on it and you should be sounding good!!!!!

Keep the cats if you hate raspy. Cats make it sound deeper.

Straight pipe will sound so sick on a an SC. If you're planning on doing it from the cat back you shouldn't get that raspy sound. I had a friend who did it from the header back on a SC4 and the sound was like music to my ears. On an SC3, I doubt you'll get the same tone. If I could I would run it on my SC all day long with a nice pair of mufflers on the rear to eliminate the rasp. However the law over here are pretty strict on keeping it under 93 decibles.

Have you ever considered electric cutouts? They sound about the same and you can keep your car quiet with the flip of switch.

Exhaust work was put on hold, hopefully will be done this week. You can always add a resonator + muffler if the its a little loud for you.

I ran mvp headers and open mufflers and it was pure sex. I loved how it sound, a little too loud for daily driving but it was nice.

Ive thought about going 3" straight pipe w/3" dual exits. Im 2jzgte cat deleted w/ megan dp. I wanted to just get a 3" resonator just to keep it on the quiet side. Do you guys think just a resonator would be enough?

I guess I never updated you all.MVP header to 2.5 straight pipe, one resonator in the center and a HKS HI FLOW muffler. Sounds beautiful and yes the ladies do love it. Cost me $235.00 USD.
