Default True Dual: Resonator Delete + X-Pipe

Yesterday i got my resonator taken out and instead of just putting in a straight pipe that connects back to one pipe which "Y"'s into the mufflers, i decided to get a true dual. After reading other forums I came to the conclusion that most people thought an X-Pipe would bring more performance gains (Iknow its only an IS250). The sound results are noticeable when really opening up the throttle and at the higher RPM's, but the performance seems to be in the lower RPM's. The car really pulls in second gear now. Here are some pics, I'll try to get a video ASAP.

HERE WE GO - I LEARNED HOW TO UPLOAD PICTURES



New mufflers in the future!! Tell me what you guys think. And if the pictures work, i cant seem to find a good way to upload pictures. I want them to be on the page already loaded, like without having to click on the URL.

Enjoy!

There was someone else on here that did the same set up but with the mufflers and it ended up being an amazing sound with no drone =)

Also with uploading pictures onto here upload them to photo bucket and take the url image link they give you there

May I ask why you decided to put the X towards the rear of the car instead of putting it up front in your midsection?

I think it was because he replaced it exactly where the resonator use to be..? Just a thought though.
Btw how does it feel to not be twin turboed anymore? Lol

Flattire got it right! I just had him put it where the resonator was since i did not want to take out the cats, idk how you'd pass smog if i you put it up where the cats are.

Also, I PMed you a while back about vinyl wrapping some stuff. I was wondering if you could help me wrap my interior trim CF??
