How is the sound and any drone? I'm considering just doing a mid resonator delete. It seems like most exhausts for the SC430 is over $1000 now, I was considering Megan, but everything seems pretty steep or discontinued. Or a megan down pipe and mid resonator delete.

I removed the third catalytic converter and resonators on my 2002. I thought it sounded good…There is another thread about that modification

I did the same but the drone is terrible between 1600-1800 rpm. I'm looking at putting dynomax resonators on. Do you happen to know if the stock piping is 2.25 or 2.5 inch?

sorry to hear about the negative experience you are having with the drone…
I do not know the size of the pipes but it should be easy to locate that information

The "regular" version 5K lbs unit I have is barely long enough to meet up with the SC430s pinch weld spots for lifting, but it handles an Avalon and a Mazda MX-5 with no issues. Didn't measure, but thought the extended version might have issues fitting between the front/rear tires on the MX-5 and SC. On their website regarding new models they now have a page that address size between tires and which model to get.
You guys are awesome…Costco has them on sale, $300 off. I just ordered one
