I'll give you props for no drone. Do you have stock headers/ypipe?

12" glasspack louverd or not? How large was the casing? Do you have a muffler on there as well?

doesn't look like he has a muffler in the vid, but it is a bit blurry when you see the back of the car.

No drone is easy to come by w/ stock headers and main cat.

Once those leave, it's almost an art to eliminate the drone & rasp.

Stock Headers and Y-Pipe. The Midpipe Cat was gutted.

It's louvered (look at last pic) and it's actually being used as the muffler.

Interestingly nice set-up.

But those kinked bends don't help with flow very much.

no drone must be nice, but i dont really like the sound so i guess its a trade off. the idea is good though.

This is BigLux's friend, I drove his car the other day after he got the new catback. No real difference since its only a catback, maybe if he had a Y-Pipe and got the car tuned. Till then it feels stock with a nice sound.

Well you won't get drone with the stock precats in place. Change all that out and see if you still get no drone

You might want to look for a perforated core glasspack(walker/dynomax one). You won't lose any power that way.

This is biglux again yeah I know the exhaust isn't perfect but it sounds better than it was stock and it only cost $140 it took the guy about an hour and a half to make it so it's a good alternative to buying a name brand catback

True, but if you want you upgrade a lil bit more to a perforated core glasspack let me know. They are only 30 bucks.

True it does look pretty goofy but this is just a temporary setup, since I can't seem to find anybody who wants to by the car for a reasonable price om just going to turn it into a show car , so later I'll probably get a Greddy Evo 2 or cattman or possibly even frankencar

Actually they r completely bald and I have 245/45/17 in the back seat right about to get them mounted and balanced, I get tires for free from the local toyota dealership all the old tires that still had tread left. It's kind of funny because I only had the front tires on for 6k miles and they have a 30k warranty and they are actually gonna honor the warranty, 2 brand new falkens for 80 bucks
