Default IS350 catless setup with tanabe + invidia

Hey guys, first time poster. Ive been a member of CL for about a year ( bought my car last year 08 is350) and love it!

Im currently running a Tanabe Axle back + Invidia Midpipe and a Joez intake. About a month ago My CEL + VSC light came on with code P0430 catalytic converter defficiency. I took it to my mechanic and he said 99% chance its the cats. I've read on here of people replacing there o2 sensors but long story short I've decided to replace my Cats. I was thinking about taking out my primary cats and running a catless setup with Tanabe + invidia but what I would like to know is if anybody has run this setup and if its raspy. Im really trying to avoid rasp and make it sound like a rice rocket.

thanks your feedback!

its sound awesome not to loud and not to quiet. It is loud in the high rpms. If your getting an axle back i highly recommend a midpipe. the exhaust I wanted was the joez exhaust since its a true dual but its around $1600. but I am happy with mine u get minimal drone. You might get a little bit of rasp in the lower rpms but not much. If I take my primary cats out im pretty sure its going to become raspy since my midpipe already took out my secondary cats.
