Default Took off oem exhaust for fun

I had some time to kill today so my friend and I decided to take off my oem exhaust to see what it sounds like. Not planning on keeping this set up for long but it was pretty fun revving it to redline hahaha From far away, it kind of has that high pitched exotic sound which was pretty cool. (Starts at 50 seconds)

sounds great! I did something similar with my S2000 - lost some bottom end (if that's even possible, lol), but it sounded wicked up top and no drone, even w/o the mufflers

I don't think OEM exhausts come with gaskets from factory. When I used to have a HKS hi power, it came with its own gaskets for the split right after the resonator. But usually whenever you get a new exhaust, its a rule of thumb to get new gaskets. They're like a couple bucks so I don't see the problem in replacing them? And I don't know how your question pertains to my thread anyhow lol the video of that is with no exhaust.
