No codes, no power loss that I can feel at least. It's not loud when you drive around normally. Just has a really nice rumble. But when you floor it, my friends say it's obnoxious loud. When I get on the freeway, if I'm in 2nd gear or 3rd gear flooring it, I do notice quite a bit of times someone to the left of me look over almost to say "where the hell is that noise coming from" and their windows are rolled up.
Hey - any chance you have any other videos with this setup? (I have the same setup except w/ the resonator still in, I’m debating on cutting it out like yours lol)
CEL = Check Engine Light. Depending on the state, you may fail your smog check. I live in California...CEL = FAIL = NO CAR REGISTRATION. I think there is a way around it, but you'll have to check the forums.
Tommy Le I did the work already. no check engine light. I'm in Texas but smog not do till next year. By that time I'll be back in AZ where they don't care lol
Do you daily drive your F? How’s the drone? Is having your exhaust that short a risk for an exhaust leak or anything? I want my F to sound like yours man. 💯
Hello...yes I daily drive my F...it's a 2008 and I purchased it on September 17th, 2008. It currently has 201,000 miles and I removed the muffler and resonator probably 150,000 miles ago. Has zero issues. Drone is not bad at lower gears, but when you're on the freeway cruising, my grandma can sit in it and it's just fine.
1 it cost me $80 to cut the exhaust and resonator off and then weld that 90 degree bend on. If you don’t like it, put it back...maybe another $100-$150 to put it back. I promise you’ll like it. The noise is intoxicating
When you floor it, yes, it's pretty raspy and crazy sounding. People will never think that you're in a Lexus. But if you drive like a normal human being, it isn't very noisy at all. My gauge? My mom...she doesn't even complain about it when I drove her around a few times.

Just cut it out LOL. It sounds way more aggressive on the high end but when you're cruising, you barely hear it.
@@1swttl thank you
Doing this to mine today! Great inspiration! my cats went bad and wanted to delete them. came upon this video and now I'm motivated to do this lol
Your cats went bad???? My car now has 178k miles and the cats are fine. I still have cats on my car. No cats give the car a CEL
Tommy Le what's cel?

I know its been 10 years but is it ok to just leave it like that and dont put a steel pipe going to the back part or no?
I still own this car...it now has 217,000 miles without any issues with the exhaust pointing down like that.

Tommy Le wow thank you for the detailed explanation. I will put more thought into if I want to remove the mufflers. I’m excited and nervous lol.

Tommy Le Welp, I finally did the muffler delete today. It sounds amazing man, just gotta get used to the drone now.
1 lol...it’s intoxicating. I love the sound. No one ever expects it from a Lexus!
Nice sound v8 :) . Thanks 4 ur time
Did you notice any power loss? Or did any codes show up?
Sounds mean .Thinking about doing the same thing to mine . Was it expensive to get done?
damn does that get noisy?
