Here it is fitted! It's got a lovely note generally, but when you redline it, it's a unique noise of all hell being unleashed lol!

You just need to get your aero kit painted and fitted!

Thanks eogbaker and stav
Yeah I know Stix, just getting time to get it all pulled together!
Just going to add a sneaky update...
I purchased this today to go with my new back box...

And have it booked in to a local welder to completely remove that cat
Then all I need is the manifold!
I might get rid of the centre silencer as well for a straight through pipe but not sure if its really needed after seeing how stix's performs with it in.
Coilovers on Saturday!!!

Really!? Lol from what I had read people said it was a sports cat and was best been chopped out! If your bang on then I'm happy enough not to get it done lol! I don't really want to waste my money haha! Ill just get it fitted instead

it just a baffle, should have lots of little holes inside the pipe for the gases to resonate a bit
Lexus Is200 SE Project - S - 31-08-2020
No they are definitely a "sports cat" that's why I had mine cut out.
Inside it was full of like grid box things not baffles like an exhaust. The exhaust guy who cut it out also confirmed it was a cat because he asked to keep it cos he was going to weigh it in.
Lexus Is200 SE Project - ormi - 31-08-2020
Trust me it's not...I have the exact one on my car.hence why it's called a decat if it was a sports cat it would be called a sports cat.and be a lot more expensive...they will have some sort of baffles as said to stop that tinny Honda noise..but defo not a sports cat.
Lexus Is200 SE Project - ormi - 31-08-2020
Their is two types too they do do a sports cat but the box is bigger and they are more expensive...but if you bought the decat then you will have the decat if you buy the sports cat you will have the sports cat.
Can you take a pic of the inside of the box?
