cayman.. so with these cats gone.. your geeting a litle more power and you have less drone.. but what about this raspy noise at 3/4 throttle.. what exatcly does it sound like... that sound of an exhaust note cutting out? or what.. does it seem like a sound a lexus shouldnt make?

Sure I've been to Florida many times, and as recently as September. However, last I heard, Florida still falls under the same Federal laws as every other state. Whether the EPA is very strict there doesn't change anything. It is still a Federal crime with a $10K penalty.

Watch my latest video of the exhaust sound and right at the very end of it, turn the volume up a bit and you can hear the noise i'm talking about. Not a noise that I care too much for, but it only does it for a few hundred rpm and only at 3/4 throttle somewhere around 3500rpm.

Yeah drone is not an issue and really the only drone sound I get is around 2800rpm and it's subtle.

so would u say overall taking out the cats is worth it? even though EPA is not strict down here it is still risky (like gernby said). but if does reduce some drone and gives a small performace boost i would probably do it.

i could only hear a really raspy sound at the end of your first take off.. it doesnt sound too good there but the rest of the time sounds good... im debating if its something i want to do or not

Congrats on the wedding!

I like the Hollywood type hangar setting you have in your video. Complete with the right lighting on the fences and containers. Even the airplane passing on cue at the end of the first sequence. Good production you have going on.

ok...so i got losted in this long *ss thread. I was goin to just have a catback made with magnaflow mufflers. strait back from the cats, no resonator. My question is did we decide it would be better with an x-pipe or without?

X-Pipe is best for this car. In the future I plan on going with an X-Pipe in the exhaust, just waiting for a company to release a quality piece.
