Default IS350 exhaust w/out resonator?

Has anyone out there done a full exhaust (truely cat back) change and removed the middle resonator?

If so, is it obnoxiously loud now?

Thanks

JT

The LMS exhaust isn't really a cat-back since it actually REMOVES both secondary cats.

??? Does it come with an "off-road only" caveat?

How about removing the resonator and running 2 pipes front the cats to the stock mufflers for true duals that maybe wouldn't be too loud. Maybe throw in an X=pipe after the cats.

Frisco. If i had to do it over. That is what i would do.

Unless you never are going to get it SMOG'ed or you have "hook-ups"--you should think about keeping your secondary cats. These cats are almost as highflow as you can get. Im sure they are somewhat restrictive--if it bothers you that much Add some HIGHFLOW cats, for some extra$$$....
