great video. is there any drone during highway cruising? I'm completely terrified to modify the exhaust note since it borders on perfection.

Sounds terrific bro. I wouldn't mind doing something similar, that is the kind of sound that I am looking for. How is the drone though?

Drone is honestly not noticeable.. Don't even notice the difference when driving normal.

Are you planing on leaving the straight pipe for the resonators and doing an x pipe for the sec cats? If so im sure all of us would love to see a video of it. Your 63 sounds SICK!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I live in NJ. Not everywhere looks like this lol.
When I do the x pipe, I'll leave the straight pipes where they are. I don't really understand the need for two x pipes. My local shop did it for $120, took 1-1/2 hours.

Sounds great and I am about to do the same. I really like the pop when you downshift.
I am wondering though to do the secondary cat removal at the same time to avoid a bit of labor.
Where did you think of getting the X-pipe?
I know GT-Pro has one but it ain't cheap
Here are 2 of my picks

Any advice?

It isn't cheap, but nice that it is reversible.

The sound is awesome. How about just lose the sec cats with straight pipes and have a custom H pipe where the resonators were? Should balance the pressure while keeping the flow up. Would love to hear your setup with LTs..
