  1. Just to try it I removed the back mufflers [pretty easy to do] and drove it around awhile with the exhaust open in front of the rear axle.

    I liked the sound alot and even exiting unde the car it was not noisy inside the car. I went to a exhaust shop and asked them to make up some pipes to the rear. He installed it and then I got DRONE at around 1800 rpm's. The car was great at all other rpm's. I think it was because he went to 2 1/4 inch pipe...I'm not sure. I think if he stayed at 1 5/8 or so it may not have done this. It was bad enough for me to put the stock pipes back on.

    You get any drone on your setup>???

    I dont have any drone at all!!! I did my exhaust cut right after header (front) and from there they put 2.25 pipe all the way on the back with magnaflow. And sound awesome. In your case maybe pipes vibrate somewhere and thats what causing some drone sounds.

  2. It has 264k miles on it. How many more miles do u guys think it last? I changed the oil regularly

    If you take care of it, I'd say you're good for another couple of hundred thousand miles.

    I am at 385,437 miles, mostly highway on my non-nav, basic 2000 LS400. Original engine and tranny, new radiator yesterday, new fuel pump two years ago from running it too often while low on gas, new exhaust and alternator last year. I've used synthetic oil since buying it used with 69,000 miles at auction for $17k in '04.

    Thanks for the info. :)
