I have no doubt that he is good at what he does although im curious on if you gained HP and how much?

Not sure, dyno's around here are a bit pricey to run for just an exhaust. Also, I put the scuba back in after less than 24 hours.

It felt a liiiiiittttle stronger on the top end, but it very well could've been the placebo effect.

It is currently sitting in my garage. It's a vibrant ultra quiet resonator, with about 20 miles on it.

So what would be the best solution to replacing the scuba under the Xb. I have only rs7 trd exhaust but want a more deeper sound.

I have an RS7 with TRD Exhaust. All I did was remove the scuba tank. At first the rasp was very noticeable but about 100 miles later I hardly notice it's there unless it's cold and going more then half throttle.
I'm wanting to take the tone a Little lower but haven't figured out a way to do so with out making it too quite. I like to be heard!!!

Default Scuba Deleted!!!

I just did the scuba delete on my Scion. Mostly for mpg gains as I put 1300-1400 miles a week on my 09 xB. I deleted the scuba tank and in stalled a 24” long thrush glasspack, and kept the axle back exhaust. It sounds amazing!
Not too loud at all especially at cruising speeds. Really gave it a deep tone and I would recommend it. Note...it is now audible, but not overwhelming.
