Need advice on cheap exhaust mods

Ebay. I believe they are 15 or 18 inches long.

Which option do you think is cheaper? Thanks again!

Wow thank you, that's so cheap! I saw another one that was 15" long for slightly cheaper, does it really matter how long it is? If I get the 15" long one, that means they will have to add 3" more of pipe to make it look like yours right?

I see you have a muffler delete, have you done anything else to the exhaust? If not, can you please send me a sound clip? I'd love to hear what I can expect

Just a muffler delete. Its actually very common. To see if id like it i just took my mufflers off for a week. I did like it so I got tips welded on. Its a bit mild sounding but its a Lexus. It does give it a nice V8 sound. You can find plenty of sound clips already online.

My car has the rear 2 mufflers deleted. Sounds way better and aggressive, if lacking some 'personality' / V8 blurb-blurb-blurb that we are used to associating with that kind of engine. From the outside it's nice and sweet, nothing too loud to worry about the law.
Inside, god dang I want to find a way to get rid of the DRONE. It's annoying, when I'm just wanting to drive around with the family, otherwise, I have been dealing with it (bought the car this way) and just waiting to find some cheap alternative/mufflers to tone it down a bit. The drone is really bad under load, right around 2k RPM (which is where the car usually is when getting up to speed from a stop, haha). It's not "really bad" compared to say a catless LS1 Trans Am (....wow..) but it's just not quite "Lexus" quiet either.
I don't have a lot of cash to play with, or else I'd try the reverse - live with a little rasp and delete the resonators, and replace the mufflers (with something aftermarket or used OEMs).
I have a dyno run of my car up on youtube, look for one by "slovflyer." Sounds great, along with another cellphone quality revving video from the driver door perspective.

I deleted the center muffler at the Y and both rear resonators. It sounds awesome and I get compliments all the time. All this "raspy" and "tingy" talk is hogwash. I'll post a vid if I have to to prove it. It sounds wicked and does not drone. IMO it's how the car should have been, but that's all subjective. The car is still too quiet IMO.
Don't get me wrong, a muffler delete is probably awesome too. I am just defending the center muffler and rear resonator delete with OEM mufflers left in place. Total cost for my set-up: $120 not including new tips, which I had welded on for another $60.
