It didn't look to hard to install the exhaust, took less than 20 minutes. But you do need the car on a lift and 2 people to help hang the exhaust onto the hangers while the other one is bolting it on.

I do believe it is the WS model.

Next mod will be veilside bodykit.

How does it sound?? When I decide to get exhaust I was thinking Greddy cuz I kinda like that MEAN growl it has...

How does the APEX-i stack up?? Louder than Borla??

Great looking... I have to say it looks REAL clean!

The sound is very nice....a classy rumbling sound. I even had another GS owner at a stop light tell me that you loved the sound and asked what kinda exhaust it was. It is fairly subtle when you are driving normal, but once you get over 2000-2500 RPM that beautiful sounds comes in.

I can't comment on the Greddy one, I was looking at gettin that one also, but from what I've heard on this board there are 2 draw backs on it.....too loud (people have gotten tickets for it) and that it hangs too low due to it being a cylinder shape canister (ie scratches the bottom if you lower your lexus).

Since you are a local, you are more than welcome to meet me somewhere and I'll take you for a drive so you can hear it first hand and see what you think. Let me know.
