Hey guys, I have a few questions on this type of exhausts.

1) Not alot of people on here have quad exhausts, is there any reason why? I find that quad exhausts simply looks stunning on a GS. Don't get me wrong, all the other exhausts are excellant too.

2) Is there a significant difference in power/noise ratio compared to an exhaust like Greddy or Borlas?

3) Since I can't get a bodykit because of the streets, would it look weird JUST to get the rear Win bumper so I can fit the quad exhausts. Because I really don't like the "cut-out" that TTE made for it. Just looks nasty.

Thanks for any inputs.

The WIN Rear With Stock Sides And Skirts would look... well NASTY.. sorry man, but its ok if you have a low front end and higher sides and rear, but a high front and skirts with a low body kit would look dirty. And i'm pretty sure WIN kit is made to look low at the rear, meaning the rear is lower than the stock rear bumper have you looked at the TTE rear bumper? it woulndn't be bad.

1) I have always loved quad exhaust and u hit it right on the nose w/ "stunning." The problem is getting rear bumpers to fit them. As you know, most bodykits, except maybe TTE's, are made for the doubles, not quads, and so if u get quads, it wont fit. As to why dont more companies make bodykits w/quads, maybe the demand isnt too high. There is a pic of a spectra blue GS4 in the RMM or CL gallery that has quad exhausts. I contacted RMM a long time ago and somebody replied back saying it was the RMM exhaust w/quad tips welded on.

2) No.

3) I happen to like the TTE rear cut outs.

I think Remus makes the QUAD exhaust...They are like $1200!!! this could also be a reason, plus even if it added 2 hp more than another aftermarket exhaust...I dont think it is worth the cost and work of modding the rear.

D-man,

i will add a few more points to your qs:

tte quad is made by remus- a good co. but the cost of $1200 makes people shy away from it. plus, like many said, you neeed to get a kit to make it look right.

as far as the power gain, all the systems you mentioned are mufflers only, so the gain does not differ that much.

Thanks guys for your help.

Has anyone heard TTE/REMUS in real life? I remember a couple of people on this board had quads but I forgot who it was. For instance, I love how the M5 sounds, it sounds like its packing 800 HP.

I mean is the sound louder than for instance (greddy) or quiet like (l-tuned)? $1200 is alot for the mufflers , though so is alot of other MODS

So, I guess I'm stuck with either getting a full bodykit to make it fit or getting the tte cutout.

Here is my experience with quad exhaust and body kits:

I originally bought the Borla SS Oval exhaust for my GS after much recommendation from fellow Club Lexus members. After 2 days, I decided that they were too loud between 1K and 2K RPM. Maybe if I had a trunk full of subwoofers or was a little younger I would have had a different opinion.

Later, after more recommendation, I bought a Rod Millen front bumper and grill along with Win Racing replica side skirts and rear bumper. First of all, the rear bumper did not fit perfectly. My body shop did a good job of making it fit, but it did cost me more money and down time than if it would have fit perfectly like the Rod Millen front bumper. The only reason that I had the quad tips installed was to fit the cutout on the new bumper. Next I had the L-tuned suspension installed, but found out that it made my side skirts too low to cross the speed breakers at my daughter's school. I had the springs and shocks removed but I was still hitting the sides pretty hard on average sized speed bumps.

I went to have my tires rotated and the car would not fit on the side lift at the rim shop. A few days later, I got a flat and my factory jack would not fit under the WIN racing side skirts. To make an already long story shorter: I had the side skirts removed. Final results: UGLY car and a lot of wasted money. If I had it to do over again, I would only get a Rod Millen front and better rims.

My advice is: If you have to have a kit, consider your daily driving circumstances carefully. Also, if you have any reservations about the additonal noise that any aftermarket exhaust will create, stick with the factory mufflers and aftermarket tips.

Sorry for the long rambling note.

I would rather cut out my stock bumper to make the quad fit than just getting a rear bumper. That'll look tacky.

Want me to DIY for you? Just give me a saw!

Ahh yes you were the one I saw with the quads !
Thanks alot for your inputs man, appreciate it !!


GlobeClk, yeah your right, the best bet is to do a custom job on the stocked rear bumper.

Ok, I've decided I'm going to get the quad and do alittle custom work on the bumper ! I hope everything turns out ok
