I had some time to kill today so my friend and I decided to take off my oem exhaust to see what it sounds like. Not planning on keeping this set up for long but it was pretty fun revving it to redline hahaha From far away, it kind of has that high pitched exotic sound which was pretty cool.

sounds great! I did something similar with my S2000 - lost some bottom end (if that's even possible, lol), but it sounded wicked up top and no drone, even w/o the mufflers

Funny, I had an s2000 too hahaha but I had a greddy ti-c catback with a testpipe so that was pretty loud in its own way. Are you on s2ki?

WOW sounds really deep. Just wonderin are you gonna use the same exhaust gaskets. If you do et me knwo if they leak. Im wondeing cuz i have to take apart mine but i really dont wanna do it without knowing if i need to buy new gaskets.

I don't think OEM exhausts come with gaskets from factory. When I used to have a HKS hi power, it came with its own gaskets for the split right after the resonator. But usually whenever you get a new exhaust, its a rule of thumb to get new gaskets. They're like a couple bucks so I don't see the problem in replacing them? And I don't know how your question pertains to my thread anyhow lol the video of that is with no exhaust.

Yeah...the stock exhaust didnt have any gaskets, So when I put my lexus HKS on I didnt use gaskets...

I didnt think it would hurt to ask a question. I thought people are here to help. Thanks for the help by the way.

I thought you were asking about my non existent exhaust lol no worries, glad to be of help.

sounds like an fsport with mid pipe
