This man speaks the truth Lexus HKS is perfect

True, drone is subjective, when I am cruising and any extra cabin noise is no good to me, specially that faint but distinct "brummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" going on in the back, its even worse when the highway is on a slope lol.

I couldn't find anything out there.. I keep hearing about the Megans Mid-pipe but cant find it listed on their website.

I will have to take another look at the Lexus HKS, but once again I really want it to appear stock too.

I do like the idea of just deleting the resonators.. might have to look into that more becuase man, the stock exhaust on the 350 is quiter than my parents mini-van!

the resonators are on the midpipe(s?). they need to be hack off and replaced with an equal-diameter pipe. any competent exhaust shop can do the job.

This thread is full of loss!

Ask for something, and get the answer, and run with it.

1. Delete the secondary cats.

2. Delete the Main Resonator.

3. Done!

4. Is that hard?

5. Still looks stock in the back, so your wife wont get mad!

Edit:

Make sure you keep your Cats and Resonator, so you can put them back on, after you don't like the way it sounds...
