Sorry guys. Been super busy with work and moving in to a new house. We unpacked the video camera, I'll see if I can get some video tonight.

The exhaust still sounds awesome, yes there is a fair amount of drone but that's more when i have it in automatic mode. The drone isn't quite as bad when you control the gears.

No. Never noticed it once. I only smell it if the car is running in my garage and I have the garage door closed. Sometimes I smell it then but usually it's only for a few minutes or until my wife wakes me up.

I'm sure there's a smell , you wont smell in it when inside the cabin but whenever the car turn off and step out side to the rear u can actually smell it. But is not that bad of a smell and last for a few seconds.. How do i know this ? i had ppe header and full tanabe exhaust with fsport intake and no cats... any how, nice car and sounds like a beast

Sometimes when I fart, if I duck down really quick and breathe in real hard, it stinks.

That is one sick setup. Just got my 2011 ISF yesterday and am looking for a full exhaust setup. Headers, test pipes, catback exhaust. Do ISF's utilize test pipes? I'm coming from an 05 Z, so forgive me for being a newb to the Lexus vehicles..

Can anyone recommend a shop in Orange County?

No. Test pipes are for exhausts like the Z and the S2000s that utilize a bolt up catalytic converter. There are primary cats in the headers and secondary cats on the back half of the exhaust. Pretty much all ISF headers and exhausts come without cats. If you're in California you'll definitely get popped if you go catless. You should probably do some searching on the subject.

hella. This exhaust is kind of like having a crazy girlfriend. The wild moments are amazing but pretty much irritates the **** out of you the rest of the time. Having said that, I keep the car in an RPM range and gear that doesn't drone as badly.

The Q.E.S has a lot f drone since it's such a free flowing system. Now that we've released the D.E.S we're able to focus a little more on the Q.E.S to still allow the free flow but tame the drone. If drone is a big factor for you I would suggest going with the D.E.S as it had very minimal to no drone.
