Keep the TRD exhaust seeing as it is a straight through design. I would replace the scuba tank/Nuke under the car with a something like this

I am looking to run a custom 2.5 " pipe from the s-pipe back using High flow cat, to a resonator then to a stright through design exhaust. i am hoping that it will sound similar to the ARK N2 exhaust on the tC

it sounds alot diff in person its really deep and you can just barely hear it inside the car i had a friend do a pass while i recorded it but it was so windy all you could hear was al;skdjf;asldjgs;jg;alsdkjf;asldkfj so yeah

i don't get why ppl say "they charge so much for a few minutes of work" ....no no no...they charge for what they do. i'd rather have my exhaust on in 10 minutes than 2 hours. less down time for me. listen, if you ever need anything, come to my crib, ill install whatever it is, then close the garage, wait an hr, and tell u that it's done. therefore, you get your money's worth..

I like the depth to the sound, but it seems a bit raspy; I'm sure it must not sound the same under load while you're driving, but we never hear that on recordings because it's so difficult to set up a microphone that will record the actual sound while driving. More power to you for getting what you want, and having the baIIs to ignore everybody else and do what you want!
#32
i know i was just upset that it wasnt heard i love the sound and i got a compliment at the store tonight from a guy saying that sounds good so im happy with it it is pretty low and raspy and i can actually feel the diff in throttle response i kept the scuba tan it was one large cat let me tell you
#35
don't record on the tip, we know what it sounds like there
record at the side of the car or something, so we can get some real life noise ay
sounds good from the tip though...the resonator is a real killer tbh

Now we're getting somewhere. I'd be curious to see what it would sound like if the high-flow cat was skipped, and a standard resonator was put in its place (or possibly a glasspack). I think either one of those would rid the sound of some of the "higher notes" that were heard in the first two vids.
#40
there really arent any high notes there are in the video but not in life the sound is really distorted in the video so yeah i wish i had something better then a digital camera for the recording but i dont it has a nice sound and its sounding different now that the cat has been on for a few days sounds somewhere like the trd on the tc more rumble
