Resonator delete with OEM tips
Been searching and can't find much info. Wondering if anyone's taken out both resonators and kept the stock tips, does it sound decent or like ******? Cause if it doesn't sound good I don't think i'll do it. Can't find that many good quality video's on youtube.
That's how I want mine to sound but i think his tips help add some extra sound ...
Any help would be appreciated

removing the 2 stock resonators and keeping the stock mufflers won't make much of a difference in terms of exhaust note. you will barely even be able to hear the exhaust drone during 1-2k rpms. i currently have all 3 resonators deleted and i kept the stock mufflers on too, sounds pretty good. not loud at all. slight noticeable drone.

^which on some cars for some odd reason is actually a 3rd cataytic converter. (there have been 2 part numbers confirmed). however since it's not a monitored cat it has no effect on the car's ecu.
all '89-00 LS400s have the same basic exhaust layout of 2 cats, center resonator (3rd cat on some cars), 2 resonators, and 2 mufflers. there's a link to an exhaust design thread in the stickies with more info.
Did you remove all 3 of your cats?
