It states it's a catback, but the photos show a full exhaust system just like
the LMS, except this one has much nicer mufflers, This could end up
being a nice exhaust system.. I don't care for the titanium tips though..

The dual pipes going down with the cats almost resemble the Stock Exhaust setup; except these are fully chromed. It does look nice, however, who’s going to see the chrome exhaust under the car?

The only part that people can see is that Axel back part.

It looks good, just wonder how it sounds.

Currently have the LMS exhaust installed. I also have the TANABE axel back exhaust. I am contemplating whether to ADD the TANABE Canister mufflers to the end of the LMS exhaust.

I agree. someone stated they were Titanium. If so, what a waste.

What's wrong with Ti? 40% lighter than steel. I'm hoping someone will make a single tip full ti axle back (as long as it's relatively quiet) that weighs 5-10 lbs v. 40 for the stock exhaust.

Wish it was dual pipe all the way from the engine back - the 2 pipe/1 pipe/2 pipe design is disappointing.

Guess I'm still waiting for Borla's exhaust to pop up, supposedly dual pipes all the way through.

Why do you want dual pipes all the way? A single pipe might be more efficient, and it weighs less.
