Do you have a resonator delete only?

I'd recommend a muffler delete with custom tips from the axle back without removing or replacing the resonators because they are really constructed well. This setup sounds great and looks good too!

Just the delete with x pipe replaced and a injen intake. No drone, great sound, and cheap as hell heres some clips of an RC350 with an axle back and resonator delete...sounds like he has an intake too but im not sure. The axle back is too much IMO.

If you decide to do it, try getting stainless steel if possible. Im not too sure if it will effect emissions, resonators are there to help make the exhaust more quiet.

The Ark exhaust has just went into production. ETA for release won't be til December.
The tanabe is a very very very good choice as well. WE have some of the lowest pricing on Tanabe systems in the industry with free 2 day shipping on all orders

Yaa, I can rep the ARK, very lovely system. Once it breaks in, you get some niceeee growls. Pops once in awhile to surprise you, tunnel runs are amazing!

For some reason i think the muffler delete sounds better on the IS350. I would get that done and just put some cool tips on.

Hey guys. I just purchased a tanabe exhaust last week for my 16 Rc. When I took It to my local exhaust shop to get installed I was told I had a performance exhaust from the factory already (dealer option I guess). I will make anyone a great deal on it here on the forum if interested.
