Cool 100% Custom Dual Exhaust (video)

just for all those haters calling me out(BRANDICUS! ), heres something to hold you over til i feel like getting some updated photos (video was taken ~2months ago) camera sucks at video (used my point and shoot for this) so the video sounds a little raspy and the beginning has wind noise, but you get the idea

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhLK_Uu435c

enjoy guys

specs:
1999 Lexus LS400 4.0L 1UZ-FE VVT-i
-Handmade Dual 2.25" piping from the cats back.
-X-Pipe
-Magnaflow Mufflers
-Custom tips
-Custom bumper cutouts

the only original pieces left in the exhaust are the cats (OEM cats flow better than most aftermarket since they are metal substrate ) and the headers (since CA emissions SUCK!)

and yes, the tips are a Love it or Hate it style - I love them

DTM Tips baby, those are classic on M3s, make sure u have holes in the bottom of those tips to clear all that melted snow we get here.

I want to see this in person.

yeah, it sounds decent. but im more about having a deep tone or a quiet ride for my daily on the interstate. i thought it would have more of a deep tone for it being a v-8?

it is a lot deeper in real life, i used my point and shoot when i made this video and it doesnt like low sounds (except WIND )

it has more of a rumble, il try to use my dvcam when i get a chance to record an accurate sound clip.

bwahaha its about time buddy! It sounds nice but I wanted to see your wheel setup . Its all good though, sounds pretty good, did you record with a camera (pictures) or a camera camera. if you use the latter with a mic I think youll find it captures alot more of that deep tone (not as deep as a 1UZ though ). I like the tips, theyre alittle to small imo. if you wanted the old school look you shouldve gone ***** out!

its a shame you all live so far away in socal or id say lets do a photoshoot.

lol, no wheel pics for you (right now at least)

thanks for the kind words guys, it sounds better in real life

i have been thinking about trading up to dual 3" on each side, but im not touching the exhaust for a while.

The exhaust sounds sick! Do you have any pictures of the exhaust from the underbody?
