LOUD Lexus LS430 exhaust with no mufflers or resonators

This is a 2005 LS430 with the 4.3 V8! It still has one big resonator, but the two small ones and the mufflers have been removed and replaced with straight pipes. Belongs to my friend Lafayette @its_lafayette
The big resonator will be removed soon!

[@AlexGray]

And now the other mods have begun, listen to it with the final resonator removed. We got more sound clips this time and it sounds insane! m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpqQhKuLqLGqg7c

Possibly the most suitable and hottest automobiles Lexus produced in the 2000s. I would so cop one n do the same muffler remove lol

[@alexandercameron645]

Saving for one now. Saw a 2002 with 160k miles....(barely broken in) and had all recent maintenance done. Fully loaded, white. Asking only $5800 . (Just helped my mother in law get a 2005 ES 330 for the same price If I didn't just buy my 2021 Z900 ABS it would be in my garage .

They all do that I think. Mine is a 2001 and it does it too. I agree it looks proper weird.

Time to buy another 😎

[@brockte]

is this catless as well? or just resonator and muffler delete? cause if its resonator and muffler ima do it to mine tomorrow 👀

[@AlexGray]

No it still has cats and the big resonator but the two smaller ones and mufflers removed

[@l.a3021]

I really like the way that sounds but does that do any damage to the engine and do you think I will have any problems with omissions test

[@davon233]

You’ll be good, all you needa worry about it the catalytic converter

[@AlexGray]

Yeah what Dizzy said, the muffler and resonator only muffle and change the sound, they have no sensors. The catalytic converter is what has o2 sensors and would give you a check engine light or possibly fail emissions

[@l.a3021]

So I shouldn’t have any problem unless my O2 sensor was to go

how bad is the droning?

[@AlexGray]

No drone, the cabin is so well insulated, you don’t hear much of the exhaust until you floor it or have the windows down.

Hello, I’m looking to delete my cats as well but I wanted to know what happens to the 02 sensors??? And will I need to do some sort of tuning afterwords..... (Please Help)

[@AlexGray]

You’ll have to message the owner on IG. He told me he had a GS430 before this that was completely straight piped I think. Not sure if he had to get it tuned or whatnot

[@InfarelLRB]

[@andrecog]

@@InfarelLRB ever got an answer??

[@InfarelLRB]

@@andrecog Yes.... I got it done. They gutted the cats and removed the O2 sensors. The car drives very smooth but the only problem is the check engine light stays on. I can live with that. The other way this could have been done was to gut the cats and add Defoulers to the 02 sensors. That would keep the check engine light off.
