The sound is sweet. It has a nice deep tone. Sways are nice as well. Car has a lot more control when cornering.

I have the trd lcb. I read some people have clearance issues with that Tom's brace so went with trd. The only thing that's Tom's on this car are the wheels.

Thanks for the images of the exhaust. How come you didn't chop the CAT off altogether?

Flex I got was an inch shy so didn't want to put a extra extension in. Left the cat on but it's hollowed out so it's not going to hurt flow.

No emissions for me since the car is tagged in fl. NY emissions sucks if you own a 1996 and newer vehicle.

Cheers buddy. I bet it drives better with the bracing on and the exhaust. What's your next modification?

Probably headers so I can be done with the exhaust.

Trd lcb installed btw If you notice the 2 rear bolts are new. Oem bolts are too short due to welded spacers in that location on the trd brace. You'll need 2 m10x1.25x40mm bolts for the install.

I see what you mean now I think I see the padding you were talking about.
