Nice kit. The chrome exhausts appear to be the center of attention at the rear. Those mufflers look huge.

I know this sounds funny,, but when I was doing the exhausts I was worry about the pitch from the exhausts... and I decied to go with dual because that will make the sound deeper...... and It does comes out deeper and sounds nice.... I love it...

The kit install looks great. I'm just saying because of the nature of the MCV20 chassis and exhaust pipe routing...the canisters drop too low since theres not much room under there to hide them. It just looks back heavy because the rear canisters are so visible from most angles.

George -

I like the dual exhaust, I just think those tips are too big for an ES. How did you convert it to dual though? I've been wanting to do dual exhaust for a while now, but wasn't sure if it was possible.



ikrules-

How does your ES ride with the springs and shocks? What did you pay (if you don't mind me asking)? The shop I went to wanted $800 for H&R springs and Tokico shocks installed.


Both your cars look great though!

Good deal, good deal. Both you and MCV20 have great lookin' kits.

irkrules- Why did you get rid of your kit? Was it because of the scraping?

car looks pretty nice. I dont like how the back of the kits stick out like that. Also, those mufflers are deffinetely too much for a lexus. Personally i think you ruined the luxury style and comfort but if thats how you wanted it cheers.
