Well on Thursday we put my modified Magnaflow section on with the Topspeed section added too, but sadly my mufflers are killing the sound. So we are toying with straight pipes with my old tips welded on, or if that's too loud, we will use two spare stainless resonators as mufflers with some tips welded on.

Major issues with the bolts on the CATs. We had to remove them from the headers because the flanges that attach to the Y pipe were rotten. Those bolts were a nightmare. 4 snapped off and as the studs are hardened steel it took a while drilling them out. That being said, the rest of it went on really, really well. All lined up perfectly, even removing the third CAT for a straight pipe. I have taken lots of pictures for my build thread. I'll add some after Monday once the system is complete.
When are you getting your resonators deleted? That should sound awesome!

No I was referring to the widebody gs400. fricking wicked. I'm wondering why he went with the 2uz intake manifold. for more low end torque perhaps? I wonder if using that on my 02 gs430 would be pointless since I have the variable length runners so I get the best of both worlds. and what the hell is coned, knifed throttle body? does that refer to the edges of the throttle body where the air enters? to smooth the incoming air as much as possible? I'm dying to know what his "ram air intake" looks like.

My car sounds like his car, as I have no muffles either, or anything after my cats, probably why mines so annoying, if i had it dump behind the car it would probably be perfect. But the way he describes it is the same as mine, quiet if im cruising but Loud as heck once i step on it.

Yeah the factory resonators were bigger and more likely to quieten down the system. I'm not sure what difference headers will make in regards to sound, but hopefully I'll find out soon
