That is a great question. Currently, I still have the front cats from the stock headers but the rear set is gone since upgrading to my Titan header-back exhaust. Initially, I will be catless but might get new mid-pipe w/ cats if sound and smell is too much...or emissions inspection becomes an issue.

Was trying to source some EQL headers with high-flow cats that will mate up to my Titan Amuse exhaust. Would be great if PPE had some. Thought about gutting my stock manifold and getting a tune...don’t know what I want to do as far as emissions.

Not sure if it will help you but invidia has a midpipe with cats that isn’t too much. I just don’t want to lose my light weight Titan midpipe but the amuse midpipe is expensive...in hindsight, I should have gone with the catted midpipe when I ordered it originally

Hey Will
thanks buddy. Yeah I need to get a catted resonated mid pipe. But that’s pretty much taking all the performance gain away...
Some of the biggest gain on the exhaust system is from a straight X pipe.

How long was the wait on the amuse?
you get it from bulletproof? I sorta wrote that place off after my cf shift **** experience.
Can you confirm that it will bolt up to oem connections?
My ppe headers and mesti axle back are both at their respective oem spots so I’ll need mid pipe to do the same.
Thanks!

Unless BPAutomotive has it in stock, it is pretty much a 5-6 month wait.

i know the amuse mid-pipe mounta fine to OEM headers, just not sure about OEM muffler locations.

Will, I just had my car go through emissions other day. The guy didn’t look under car.
I closed off the muffler to be more incognito.
Luck me it was a super windy day so he couldn’t smell my exhaust.
Passes without issues.
Now I have like 18 more months before I need to worry about cats again. Wooo!

Looks good Will !
For the price, you can’t lose.
Is it real cf ? Hoping it is a cf overlay on some fiberglass or plastic.

Get the cf inserts for the Lexus logo from wow trim.
You’ll likey.

[QUOTE=Ne1tHeRe;10137106]Got my summers back on last week:




W- Mike & Pris told me you got the Carbon Hood, and that they did the ENTIRE thing too-correct? Ceramic Coat too?
That thing is beautiful man!! I put that same Steering Wheel Piece on mine the other day. * The one ya shot with your Jammies still on !

I want every piece of Carbon made for this car, and as stated on another thread - Im totally baffled how there are very few companies which sell this stuff! Though its not the same, my Ducati was smothered in CF and there were TONS of companies making aftermarket stuff! No way am I paying such outrageous prices.

Went to this huge car show in Great Falls last Sat which was full of Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, etc etc etc. Even had a 2018 Bentley Sport Package there with sticker on it for only $355k too! If one doesn't get there before 6am, its walking room only. Cant recall the last time I was up that early on a Sat. lol.
I honestly did not see one other RCF in the whole place.

That ATEQ Machine is very interesting! After my wheels were mounted the Dealership could not get the TPMS to sync. At first the light was on, but now only the TP Gauge readout does not work. Been told a Rep will be fixing this for me soon though. (Not Dealership!)

So, the search continues.............
