LOL, that's what I've been trying to say this entire time about these aftermarket systems being "axle-backs" and not true cat back.
You guys that really want a true cat-back, take your car to a muffler shop so they can add on to the HKS, Tanabe systems.
But since I got smoked by a Scion tC, an exhaust system upgrade isn't the answer still. Not worth spending $600 to do the work for only a few HP more. Doesn't do anything but free up the exhaust a little bit more.

Finally changed my HKS to Tanabe...
----------------------------------------------------------
Lexus IS350
Tanabe Touring Medallion
Dyno: No
Did you feel any Hp/Tq difference? Not as torque-y as the HKS. More subdued (almost too subdued) improvement to stock acceleration; little perceived gains from stock.
Comments on your exhaust: Much more quiet than the HKS, but definately compromises with less "umphh" during acceleration.
